Ms. Mimi took a bath last night. Potty training has its ups and downs. Yesterday when we came home there must have been about 4 pee puddles and 3 poopies on the bathroom floor. In our presence, and with attentive commands and rewards, they do use the litter box. As we stay with them, they also use the litter box on their own.

We’re considering reducing their space in the bathroom at night to encourage more involuntary use of the litter box. We’re both nervous and eager for any advice.

Vince drove about three hours to pick them up, and now they’re here. Mimi and Trudy are 9 week old chihuahua puppies. We’re trying to train them to use a litterbox, so they will spend a few days in our bathroom. The cats are very curious about what’s going on in that particular sector of the kittydom.

UPDATE 12-09-07 10:57am - I added another video this morning. This one shows them giving some love to Vince and some shots showing them denning with their crate. Litterbox training is still not working with Trudy. Mimi is starting to more and more after being rewarded with some treats.
