Toilet Train My Cat? It is Possible

Sometimes you may feel disappointed because your cat doesn't do what you want.
You can easily avoid disappointment if you remember that cats are creatures that are slow learners but when the lesson finally sticks, it sticks forever.
All cats can be toilet trained.
No matter what type of indoor or pampered cat, you can teach your cat to do their business in the toilet if you are patient enough.
You probably want to have a clean, nice smelling house and this can be accomplished even if a cat lives in it.
Here are the steps you need to follow you teach your cat how to use the human toilet:
  1. Place the cat's litter box next to the toilet you want them to use.
    Make sure your cat knows where the new place for their litter box is and they accept the new location by using it regularly.
  2. After a few days, put something under the litter box to make it little higher.
    It can be a stack of newspapers, books that you don't need, or other things.
  3. Every two days add something more to elevate it until it is as high as your toilet.
  4. You need to do this to teach your cat to jump in and out the litter box instead of stepping in and out.
  5. Keep the toilet lid up while your cat is learning so they can jump on the toilet seat to get in and out of the litter box.
  6. When they are comfortable using the litter box when it is as high as the toilet, place your cat's litter box over your own toilet and leave it that way for a couple weeks.
  7. This next step is critical.
    You need to remove the cat's litter box and place a metal bowl inside your toilet that rests around the rim with the toilet seat on top.
    Place some litter inside the bowl.
    Make sure it is secure so when cat steps on it the bowl doesn't fall to the bottom of the toilet.
  8. While your cat is getting used to using the bowl instead of the litter box, help them get into the proper position.
    They should have all their paws on the toilet seat and not in the bowl.
    Eventually they will get to a point where they sit properly on the toilet seat without help.
  9. When your cat knows how to sit properly on the toilet seat, start putting less and less litter into the bowl.
  10. When there is no litter in the bowl, start putting water into it and increase the amount every day.
  11. When you see that your cat has no problem with using your toilet with the bowl full of water, remove the bowl.
Your cat is now toilet trained.
All you need to do now is flush the toilet after them.
There is no way you can teach your cat to do that.
This process may take a lot of time and effort.
You will need to be patient but the result is worth it.
No more smelly cat litter boxes to clean!
