He jumps right up on the toilet, finds the right place that feels good to him, puts all four paws on the seat, and squats to "go". I pees right into the water in the center of the hole in the pan. Afterwards he tries to cover it up by pushing all the litter into the water. When I catch him in the act, he immediately gets his catnip and we are both happy!
Since the last post, I made another cut to the roasting pan to make the hole a bit wider.

Like I mentioned, Jerri jumps down as soon as I am about to catch her in the act, so I only have footage of Tom. He has had no problem with peeing in the toilet.
However....pooping is a whole different story....
After cutting the hole larger on Sunday night, this is what we found on Monday morning.
At first we assumed it was Jerri since she is the one who gives us the most trouble, but a few days later, I was getting ready for work and saw Tom pee and start meowing as he circled the toilet. I knew he wanted to poop, but for some reason he wasn't. I had to run to work so I warned my husband to keep an eye on him. About 30 minutes later, he sent me this picture.
He had gone over to the rug from the bathroom (recently pooped on a few days prior that was placed in a different place waiting for laundry day) and relieved himself!
That was yesterday morning and I'm still trying to figure out how to overcome this. **knock on wood** There have been no accidents since this and I have found their poop inside the toilet a few times so I'm hoping we are over the hump. We plan to stay at this step for at least another week, maybe longer, to ensure we don't take any steps backwards. I'm also going to read more information online and see if there are any suggestions to keep moving forward.
