I have taught all 3 of mine to go potty with me. At first it was so I could keep an eye on them while I did my business. Have you ever been in the bathroom and heard a crash and couldn't do anything about it??!! So from the very beginning, I always made it a "fun" thing to do and to this day, I don't even have to announce where I'm going they just sort of follow me, and jeez, if I close the door before they come in, watch out! The pittiful meows!! You think I was such a bad momma!
