I have done all the research on this, but I'm not sure on personal opinion. What do you think?

Answer 1

I think it'd save so much money. I wouldn't have to buy litter anymore which sounds awesome. The only bad side is that some cats are really clumsy and mine is one of them. They tend to fall into the toilet after their stool evacuation and that is really nasty. I was thinking on training my cat but I simply don't have the time to do it.  

Answer 2

There are many toilet training kits that are especially made for cats and are sold in the market. However, there are things that need to be considered when choosing the best toilet training kit for the cat.

1. First, the owner needs to consider the curiosity level of the cat. If the cat is not much interested in discovering things then toilet training kits may not be that effective for them. Different toilet training kits sold in the market should also be considered.

2. There are kits that have basic tasks that may be applicable for kittens while there are some kits that are too complicated for other cats. Therefore, it is important to really assess if the cat will be able to be trained using the toilet training kits.

I wish it was that easy, I have 3 cats I dont know if they would go for it.. Im up in the air over it.. I wont be trying it anytime soon..  

Answer 4

I think if you have a seperate toilet it would be great to use for the cats. Think how much money you could save on liter!

Answer 5

I think... It's good and bad.

I think it's best in an apartment or other small living area to train it to use the bathroom, because, let's face it, how much space do you really have in an apartment for a litter box?

But, in a big house, It might be better for it to use the litter box, because this helps owners see any changes in their..... stuff. (Changes may mean the cat is sick)

Although, I do know a family who trained their cat, Juliet, to use the toilet, and it works perfectly.

I guess it's really up to you.

Answer 6

it sounds like a good idea but i dont think my cats could do it tho. haha

Answer 7

Hi Robyn... we have toilet trained all 3 of our cats years ago.  One notable drawback is that whenever the cat uses the toilet the urine or f***s sit in the bowl and the odours will linge.  However, if you don't mind coming into the bathroom finding this...it's great.  

The Litter Kwitter is one of the most effective toilet training kits out in the industry.  It's more stable than the other kits so cat's do not feel like they're going to fall into the toilet opening.  

Please do bear in mind that it takes some cats longer to be toilet trained than others.  Sometimes up to 9 months or longer.  Additionally, if you have a multiple cat household, training will be based on the slowest cat's progress.
