What is the CatSeat?
The CatSeat is recommended by veterinarians and leading pet health care professionals. It separates your cat(s) from touching and tracking dirty litter, and is the healthy alternative to a normal litter-box. It is the revolutionary next generation litter-box designed to allow the option of mounting to your toilet, and to completely wean your cat(s) from litter. This will forever eliminate the mess and expense of litter from your life.
- What is the price of the CatSeat?
Considering that nearly half the money you spend on your cat(s) goes to purchase litter (approximately $3,500 over their lifetime), the CatSeat price of $49.95 is a wise investment. It comes with a 30-day Money Back Guarantee (less s&h). If you are not pleased with it, simply send it back!
- What makes the CatSeat superior to a normal litter-box?
The CatSeat is the first and only litter-box that actually weans your cat(s) off litter. This is accomplished by gradually reducing the level of litter available to your cat(s). The retractable shelves are textured to replace the feel of litter. The waste collects into a self-closing disposable bag that you simply throw away, while remaining hidden out of sight beneath the litter-textured shelves. This eliminates the tracking of litter and germs throughout your home.
- How can the CatSeat toilet train my cat(s)?
Once your cat(s) is successfully using the CatSeat as a replacement to the litter-box, it is designed to mount to your toilet. It is slightly oversized to allow your cat(s) to easily balance on the seat, and the textured shelves replace the feel of litter which satisfies their need to "cover up". From here it's as simple as the self-closing bag releasing from the bottom, and gradually introducing the water below. The key to successful toilet training (either with kids or cats) is to make the process extremely subtle and easy for them to follow. This is the cornerstone of the design of the CatSeat. Training usually takes from two to three weeks.
- Does the CatSeat function like a regular toilet seat?
If you decide to mount the CatSeat to your toilet, it functions exactly like a regular toilet seat. It lifts up and operates just as you would expect. With the simple push of a button, the shelves disappear into the center. This way you are not using the same area as your cat. It is almost as if they have a separate seat all to themselves.
- What is the purpose of the shelves?
The shelves are textured to replicate the feel of litter to your cat(s). It is an instinctive reflex for your cat(s) to want to "cover up". The rough texture of the shelves satisfies that need. They also provide a comfortable footing while concealing the litter, water (if mounted), and waste below.
- Can more than one cat use the CatSeat?
Yes they can. It is important that each cat becomes comfortable with the level of litter provided before moving on and further reducing the available amount. The largest number of cats successfully trained to the CatSeat is seven (this was accomplished using two CatSeats). Obviously, the larger the number, the more difficult it becomes.
- What is the minimum age to start my cat on the CatSeat?
While most any age kitten can use the CatSeat while on the floor, we recommend that they be at least seven months old before mounting it to the toilet. It can train most any age cat (the oldest that was confirmed to us was fifteen years old), and is slightly oversized to accommodate much larger and older cats.
- Is the CatSeat suited for use by pregnant women?
Once your cat is successfully using the CatSeat, you will never handle dirty litter ever again. As always, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian and physician on how best to live with a cat(s) during pregnancy. The CatSeat might be the ideal solution.
- Does the CatSeat come with a guarantee?
The CatSeat comes with an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee (less s&h). Simply return it, and we will gladly refund the purchase price of the CatSeat. Return Policy
- Where can I purchase the CatSeat?
You may purchase it securely online by clicking the "ORDER" button below, or contact us at 866-Dig-Cats for other retailers.
- Are there any health concerns sharing a toilet?
All of the physicians and veterininarians consulted agree that there is no health risk. In fact, more than one stated that they would rather share a toilet with the family cat(s) than to use a public restroom. As always, pregnant women should consult with their physician for guidelines of living with a cat during pregnancy.
- Can you teach a cat to flush?
You can, but the extended shelves of the CatSeat conceal the view of the water below. We have been contacted by our customers who have taught their cats to flush. The most entertaining story comes from a physician who lives in Manhattan, NY who taught his three cats to use the CatSeat. He told us that he had the idea to tie a fuzzy ball to the handle of the toilet. As the cats swatted at the ball, this would in turn flush the toilet. He was proud of teaching his cats this new found skill until a couple of months later his water bill was double what it had been in the past. It seems that they would flush the toilet just to watch the water swirl below. They had a new toy. So what we learned is that while you can teach a cat to flush, the trick is to teach them when to flush!
- Can you teach a dog to use the CatSeat?
If you have a small dog that uses litter, why not! We have not heard of any documented cases of this happening, but all you are doing is establishing a new habit. Just think, if you could, David Letterman is waiting.
- Does CatSeat spokespurrrson "Tiddles" have a girlfriend?
Sorry ladies. He is much too busy at this time to even think about a relationship (as you can tell by watching his video on our website). Thanks for asking.
