As most PoopReporters know, Chris Rockwell has made a splash by recording a daily podcast from his bathroom while taking a dump. With the fame garnered by this otherwise unremarkable feat -- and in just a few short months -- Chris has vaulted himself into the slimelight and is now guest editor of PoopReport. (Remember, guest hosting is how Jay Leno landed the Tonight Show after Johnny Carson retired).

I know what you're thinking: If a fat guy from Idaho can make a name for himself by broadcasting grunts from his toilet, what stands between my lazy, smelly-assed cat and a life of fame?

One thing, mostly -- toilet skills.

Enter "Litter-Kwitter." This is what Australian Jo Lapidge calls her newly-invented feline toilet training system, which involves a three-step process.

Step one begins with a red disc shaped like a toilet seat and filled with cat litter, which you set on the floor next to the toilet. Next, you move the red disc to the toilet so the cat can get used to jumping up onto the seat. In step 2, you replace the red disc with an amber disc, which has a small hole. When the cat is accustomed to the water below, you switch to the green disc, which has a larger hole.

Soon, the cat is ready to sit bare-assed on the regular toilet seat and do what Chris Rockwell does. (As an added benefit, the trays' red-amber-green color scheme prepares your cat for city driving in outback regions like Australia's Northern Territory or our own Montana, where critters of all kinds can pretty much do as they please.)

For Ms Lapidge to fully train her cat, Doogal, it took about eight weeks using this system. The name -- Doo-gal -- provides a clue, perhaps, as to why Ms Lapidge was driven in the first place to innovate.
