Welcome back!

A cat toilet, are you serious? Can a cat really be trained to use a human toilet? We’ll there was a time when we would have said, “I don’t think so” but recently we’ve begun to change our minds.

Training a cat to use the toilet is becoming more common then you might realize. If you would like to try this with your cat, there are a few things to be aware of.

If you have more than one cat it becomes much more difficult because you often won’t know which one is progressing and which one is having more difficulty learning. Since some learn quicker than others, you’ll have the complications of how to balance out the training and keeping them all close to being on the same page.

How long does it take? Cat toilet training can take from 2 weeks up to 3 to 4 months. There are a lot of variables and depends on your cats personality and your personality and patience.

Patience, yes good ole patience. If you really want to succeed, you’ll need that and some cooperation from kitty.

Will it work for every cat? Let’s be realistic here. No, not every cat will succeed at becoming toilet trained.
Some will fail because the trainer is not capable of teaching and training in a way to help the cat learn. Let’s
face it, how old were you when you were toilet trained? So if it takes kitty more than a few weeks, chill out and keep working with her.

The basic idea is to take something firm (some use a solid aluminum pan) and place it over the toilet seat. Fill it with a flushable litter (best to use the same litter that kitty is used to if it’s flushable) and make sure it’s held firmly in place over the toilet seat. After your cat begins to use it you cut a small hole in the center and then you will gradually make the hole larger until it is completely open to the toilet.

The positives are no more cleaning out the litter box, no more scooping litter and disposing of. The negatives are the time and effort it will take to get your cat toilet trained.

So just imagine your little king or queen kitty learning sit on the throne. You’ll be so excited to tell your
friends and the bragging rights will be absolutely incredible.

P.S. NO pictures allowed. Do you want pictures of you sitting on the throne being shown around? Aha, I didn’t think so.
