sooo the past few days i have removed litter everytime i saw doodie in the bowl. today was the first day i experimented with no litter. i just went in the bathroom and there was pee in the metal bowl. sooo he used to use whatever place had litter. now he has learned in the presence of no litter to use the bowl. so hopefully the removal of the bowl is only a hop skip and a jump away.

it’s possible that he would use it now if i took it out, but i won’t be around to be sure. that AND a setback right now would be so disheartening. i think it’s just better to move at snail speed.
