Dear Petlvr Mailbag …

Well, the inevitable happened. I had my 10 month old cat scheduled to get spayed, and she escaped and got pregnant 2 weeks prior to the spay-date.

Ugh.

Anyway - I now have 4 beautiful kittens that need homes. I am going to keep one, so I need homes for 3. Do you have any suggestions as to go about finding them suitable and happy homes?

Side note: When they were 2 weeks old, mama cat became ill and after taking her to the vet, I had to hand-feed the kittens myself, so I’m very attached. It’s going to be sad to let them go, but I have to.

If you remember my introduction, you will recall that I have two cats. Both are kitty litter trained and although I know how to toilet train them, neither of them are. The main (and probably only) problem that I have with toilet training is the fact that I only have one bathroom.

When Lobo was a young kitten, about 8 months old, I began toilet training him. After I got about 2 weeks into the training, my husband started yelling at me about the fact that he had to move a container filled with kitty litter every time he wanted to use the washroom. Thus my attempts at toilet training ended and I only recommend this if you have two toilets so you can reserve one for the cat and one for all the people in the house. At least until the training is done.
