A Word About Litter
You should understand that toilet training a cat is not natural. A cat is designed to scoop sand or dirt over it's waste to deter predators and to keep from alerting prey to their presence. So toilet training a cat goes against their nature. That being said, let's get started.
Prepare The Toilet
First, to toilet train a cat, you'll need to prepare the toilet for training. You can either create the apparatus yourself of you can purchase it. Yes, there are apparatuses for toilet training a cat if you know where to look for them. The apparatus should rest under the lid of the toilet and should be a tiny litter box inside the toilet lid. Show your cat where this tiny litter box is and rub its paw in the litter. Don't worry, you don't have to go in that little box, that's why it's removable.
Slowly Take It Away
Little by little, make the litter box inside the toilet lid smaller and smaller until your cat gets used to urinating or defecating in the water itself. As stated before, it will take a lot of time and effort but pretty soon your cat will get used to going in the toilet and then you will have successfully toilet trained your cat.
Don't Forget To Flush
Now your cat won't be able to flush after you've toilet trained it; it doesn't have opposable thumbs. So don't forget to flush the toilet for it. However, now that you've toilet trained your cat, you'll save lots of money and time on litter can litter clean up.
