About anyone had an indoor cat is aware what a mission it is, to regularly take care of a litter box. And so many owners of indoor cats do know what an even greater task it is if the kitty doesn’t take the litter box! Well, there are many among us always dreaming of greater achievments and do not wish to settle for litter box cleaning. For these cat owners, we have good news now. Indeed, believe it or not, it is not a big thing to train cats, to use an actual toilet. When you do the toilet training with your kitty, you will teach it to move from using a litter box to using a toilet. If this sounds too good to be true, moderate your imagination a little bit with the recognition that you still have to flush the toilet for your cat.

1. Relocating Your Cat’s Litter Box

If your cat’s litter box is not yet in the bathroom, you will have to move it there. The litter box should be near the toilet on the ground for several days. After a couple of days you will put your litter box up several inches using something very stable to sit under it. If you have no appropriate furniture fitting this description, you can use books if they are arranged in a balanced fashion. Of course, to arrive at the point where the edge of the litter box and the toilet bowl are even. Then you want to put a sturdy aluminum pan over the toilet bowl in a manner that will allow it to support your cat without wobbling as you begin the toilet training with your cat. You should put less than an inch of cat litter over the surface of the pan.

Once you have taken away the litter box and have the cat using only the pan, you are now ready to begin the last part of toilet training of your cat. You should begin the training by making some holes in the bottom of one side of the pan. Of course, you better cut back on the cat litter so that it doesn’t go down the toilet. In addition to that, you should consider using flushable kitty litter at this time. The holes should direct the kitty to put its front paws on the toilet seat as it potties. When your cat has been doing this for some days, you should put holes on the opposite side of the pan so that the cat will be standing entirely on the toilet seat. The difficult part of the toilet training instructions is that after your kitty has been doing this successfully for a a while, you have to totally take away the pan. If you are a successful cat instructor, your cat will now use the toilet you are using, too!
