Kimbo is 10.5 weeks old and has been potty pad training with great success. The problem is that he prefers his potty pad to any other place in the house. If he's given a toy he loves, he drags it straight to the potty pad and plays with it there. We re-direct him to another play area away from the pad, but he always goes back to it. He gets sleepy and instead of heading over to his luxerious crate (that he sleeps in nicely), he walks over to the potty pad, curls up, and dozes off! He doesn't care if it's peed on already, but a clean on will really set him off. Is it the "attractant" in the pad? He seems like a kitty hopped up on cat nip. Is there a way I can remedy this habit without derailing his training?
