How To Train A Cat To Pee In The Toilet

Introduction

Cats are generally easier to train than dogs, but not when it comes to peeing in the correct place. You can train a cat to pee in the toilet, though! It just takes time and persistence. Start with this brief tutorial on how to train your cat to use the human toilet.

Get a small litter box and put it inside the toilet.

Next, you’ll want to get a small litter box. A large cat litter pan would be too big for this, but a small one will work well. Now put the litter box inside the toilet. It should be placed on either the seat or lid of the toilet so that it fits perfectly inside and doesn’t look out of place in any way.

Now that your cat is comfortable with using her own personal outdoor bathroom, it’s time to teach her how to use it for actual peeing!

Stir the contents of the litter box after your cat goes to the bathroom.

Once you’ve completed step one, you need to stir the contents of the litter box after your cat goes to the bathroom. Stirring the litter will help to distribute waste throughout so that it can be easily removed when it’s time to clean out the box.

Clearing away urine clumps and feces from your cat’s litter box can be a tricky task for some people, but luckily there are several different ways that you can go about doing it:

Flush them down the toilet! If you don’t want to put them in an actual toilet bowl (which is totally understandable), then just flush them down into a bin where they won’t cause any harm or bother anyone else who uses said bin. You might have heard that cats have nine lives—so why not give yours another chance?
Dispose of them in an eco-friendly way by composting! This method is especially helpful if your home has an attached garden because composting allows us humans get our hands dirty while also helping out Mother Earth with her green initiatives! If this isn’t something that interests you then feel free skip ahead – no judgment here 😉

After mixing, remove the feces and flush it down the toilet.

Once you’ve mixed the litter, remove the feces and flush it down the toilet. Don’t flush any clumps of litter:

Remove cat poop with tweezers. If you have a large amount of poop, use a plastic bag (or whatever non-poop container you have on hand) to collect it in one place before throwing it away.

Use tweezers to get the urine clumps from the box and put them in the toilet.

Use tweezers to pick up the clumps.
Put them in the toilet and flush them away.
Repeat until the litter box is empty.
Clean out your litter box, and put fresh litter in it before you start training again!

When your cat has gotten into a routine of going to the bathroom in their litter box, start to raise it up each day by putting it on books or boxes underneath until it is up to potty level.

Make sure you use a cat litter box that has high sides as this will help train them. If you are just starting out with this process, make sure that you keep the lid on until your cat gets used to being inside the toilet.
Don’t forget about adding some treats and praise when they do go in the right place!

Train your cat to flush by putting his/her paws on top of yours as you flush.

Use treats and clickers to build the association with flushing in a positive way
Start small, with just one click/treat for every single flush that happens around your cat
Be patient! Don’t expect it to happen overnight or even after a week of training sessions; this is going to take time for most cats (me included)

You CAN train your cat!

You CAN train your cat. But you have to be patient and persistent.

Cats are smart, but they don’t understand what a toilet is or why they would want to go in there. If you haven’t already, I suggest reading the “Cat Basics: How a Cat Thinks” section of this article. Cats are creatures of habit—once you have trained them to use the toilet, it will take some effort on your part to keep them from going back to their old habits!

Conclusion

As you can see, training your cat to pee in the toilet is a long and complicated process, but it will be worth it when the time comes! You may have to try several times before getting started and there are no guarantees that you’ll succeed—but if at first you don’t succeed, just keep on trying! Follow these steps carefully so that all of your hard work won’t go to waste. Good luck!
