Defeat-For the Moment

Nora has won and I am defeated. The great cat toilet training experiment has come to a sad end. She simply refused to cooperate. As soon as I made that first small hole she refused to pee in the container and peed on the floor instead. She would still poop in the container but not pee. That defeats me. Cats are not like dogs. There is no guilt one can work with. "Bad Cat!" does not cause any shame. Dogs are Catholics, cats are Pagans. But I have not given up entirely. I will try again in a year or so. Maybe she'll be ready then.
