that's my boy...

       so i'm in the process of potty training my hermes. yes, on the big boy potty. like this. it's been slow going. and kinda gross. but if successful it'll be so worth it. no more litter. no more cat paws trotting through poo (then through the house). i'm excited. i got this kit from amazon.com () back at the end of february. took a little bit of ingenuity on my part and lots of getting used to it on his, but we're finally making our way through the steps. this picture is of him when he's first getting used to the insert when it's on the potty, probably about a month ago, but now there's a decent hole in the middle of the insert and he's almost entirely standing on the seat to go. 'cept i have to clean it out immediately after he uses it or he poos on the floor. which isn't cool. but it's a process.

       it's kind of an ugly rug, i know, but my grandma made it. one of my friends commented that it's absolutely disgusting for a cat to use the same potty. i figure a potty is a potty. and it's a hell of a lot cleaner than litter. do you think it's gross?
