如何教貓使用馬桶(五)How to train your cat to use toilet



第七步: 移開烤盤。烤盤移開的同時,可以在馬桶本身上加一塊和馬桶坐墊一樣大的透明墊 (一種叫"風扣"的玻璃塑膠板),在下一個步驟會說明原因。

Seventh step: get rid of the tray. Get a plastic board called corrugated plastic, and cut out a shape as big as the toilet seat at the same time, I'll talk about this more in next step.


第八步: 加一塊和馬桶坐墊一樣大的透明墊。如此當妳要上廁所時,可以直接把馬桶坐墊放下來,不需每次都要清洗馬桶坐墊了。這可是我試過很多方法和材質後的結果哦。

Eighth step: put a corrugated plastic on the toilet seat. After tons of experiment, I guess this is the best way to do so. You don't have to clean the toilet every time when you use it, you can just simply put the toilet seat down on the corrugated plastic, it will save you a lot of water and time.



如果你家裡有浴缸,剛開始的時候要在浴缸裡放一點水。因為有些困惑的貓咪,找不到牠熟悉的貓砂盤時,有時會直接跑到浴缸裡解決。浴缸對牠們來說,應該就是一個超大的貓砂盤吧。

If you have a bathtub in the bathroom, you should put some water in the tub at the beginning. Some of confused cats may go poopoo in the tub when they can't find the litter box they were familiar with. For this kind of cats, the bathtub should be a huge litter box for them...


大功告成!!!
每個步驟只需三到四天,如果家裡的貓比較多或比較壞,每個步驟可以稍微延長一點。如果遇到哪個步驟貓咪做不來,退回前一個步驟。假以時日,每隻貓都是可造之材!

大家都會用馬桶!

Successfully accomplished!!!
It only takes 3 to 4 days each step. If you got more cats or nastier cats in your household, you may want to stay longer for each step. If one of the step your cat can't get over with, try to step one step back. Every cat is teachable after a while!!!

Everyone knows how to use toilet!

液化石油チマキだって!

追伸:液化石油のタンクが左側に見えるでしょ、なんかこれが看板に見えた、、、

如何教貓使用馬桶(四)How to train your cat to use toilet


烤盤放三四天後,確定你的貓會在上面上廁所時,
第六步: 在烤盤上挖個小洞。

Left the tray on the toilet seat for 3 to 4 days, and make sure your cat knows where to go poopoo and peepee,
Sixth step: cut a hole on the tray.


大部分的貓對小洞都有強烈的好奇心,試著讓貓咪不要專注在那個小洞,而是開始在挖了洞的烤盤上上廁所。

然後,漸漸把洞愈挖愈大。

Most cats love little holes. Try to make your cat only focus on that little hole, instead, try to make your cat potting in the hole. Then try to make the hole bigger and bigger every 3 days.




2000正在思考…至少她跳到紙板上思考,這,就是一個好的開始…

2000 is thinking... at least she jumped on the paper board and started thinking... that was a good start...


等到烤盤上的洞大到一個程度時,就可以:
第七步:把烤盤移走!


When the hole on the tray is big enough, you can go to the next step:
Seventh step: get rid of the tray!

13 steps (13) (Rerun in English)

Thirteenth step: Tiger crawling
Lie on your stomach, and make your body parallel to the ground. Your hands and feet are on four spots apart. Your arms and legs bent slightly, then start walking forward slowly. Think over your weight and strength, walk for 10 to 30 steps forward.

Hypothetically, when the ground is as transparent as glass, your pose will be like the second figure in the graphic.

The End

13 steps (12) (Rerun in English)

Twelfth step: Leg swinging
Left foot takes a big step back and forth 5 times, then swing your left leg like a pendulum back and forth 5 times. Then straighten your left leg and kick as high as you can back and forth for 10 times without left foot touching the ground. Then vice versa, do it all over again with your right foot. Your foot may keep touching the ground among
3 kicks. Just keep practicing it for a week, you will be able to kick 10 times without touching the ground.

the black footprint means "solid step"
the white footprint means "void step"

如何教貓使用馬桶(三)How to train your cat to use toilet


在進入細節前,先來正名一下:
紅色1是馬桶座最上層: 馬桶上蓋
紅色2是馬桶座中間層: 馬桶坐墊
紅色3在最下層一定是: 馬桶本身

Before get into more details, let's set the record straight first:
Red 1 is the first layer from top: toilet lid
Red 2 is the second layer: toilet seat
Red 3 is the last part: toilet itself



第四步: 放一片烤盤在馬桶坐墊上。
我不確定別人家的馬桶,但是我家馬桶座的尺寸剛好可以放一個烤魚用的鋁箔腰形盤。這在家樂福烤盤區都找得到。買來不用裁剪,直接放上去就好了。如果你家的貓有點過胖,請一次放二片烤盤上去。

Fourth step: put a tin foil baking tray on toilet seat.
I am not sure about others, the size of my toilet seat can put on a foil fish-baking tray just right. You can buy this in Carrefour in Taipei, and it doesn't need to be trimmed. Please add 2 or 3 pieces if your cat is overweighted.



第五步: 剪一塊馬桶坐墊形狀的厚紙板,用棉被夾夾在馬桶坐墊上。
這是為了固定烤盤。如果你有更好的方法也行。
剛開始的時候可以在烤盤上放一點貓砂吸引貓咪。
如果貓咪太聰明或太驕傲,拒絕跳到烤盤上上廁所的話,
我建議最好先退回步驟三,重新再來過。

Fifth step: cut out a toilet seat-shaped cardboard, and hold it on the seat.
This is just for steady the baking tray, you can be more creative here.
You can put a bit of cat litter in the toilet just to attract cat come over and pee.
If your cat is too small or too arrogant, take one step back and starts from step 3, do it all over again.

打從一開始,我就說過,教貓不是那麼容易的。

I already warmed you, it's not that easy, isn't it?
