How To Train A Cat To Poop In The Toilet

Introduction

Cats are notoriously difficult to train, but teaching them how to poop in the toilet is a skill that will save you both time and money. The process requires patience, consistency, and perseverance on your part as well as an understanding of what your cat needs from their litter box experience. Thankfully, if you’re ready for a challenge like this one then all these things should come relatively easy for you! In just eight steps I’ll show how simple it really can be when training your cat to use the toilet instead of their old litter box.

# 1 – Start small with a few inches of water in the toilet.

Start small with a few inches of water in the toilet.
Don’t start with a full toilet or high level of water, this can scare your cat and make them less likely to use it again in the future.
Don’t start with a dirty toilet either, because this will also scare your cat away from using it again in the future

#2 – Remove the toilet lid and seat

Remove the toilet seat and lid. If you have a toilet seat that lifts up, leave it in place; if not, remove it.
Put something soft on the floor under where the cat will sit (a towel or blanket). This can help prevent damage to your floors from kicking cat litter off their feet as they scratch around.

#3 – Make it more comfortable for your cat by adding a stepping stool or a ramp to help them get in

Step stool or ramp. You will want to make sure that whatever you use is stable enough for your cat, but also tall enough and wide enough for them to climb onto and step off of it easily.
Get creative! If you have a spare box lying around, cut out an opening so your kitty can easily step up. Or try using a chair or other item as a stepping stone until your cat gets used to the toilet.

#4 – Don’t forget about their business! Clean up after your cat regularly.

Don’t forget about their business! Clean up after your cat regularly. Make sure to use a good disinfectant and clean the toilet bowl, too. You’ll need to be committed to this step or else you’ll end up with an unhappy kitty—and who wants that?

#5 – Use the same litter that your cat was using in the box before you started to train them.

Use the same litter that your cat was using in the box before you started to train them.
Try to avoid scented litter.
If you are using a different type of litter, you may want to try a different brand (or even buy it at another store).

#6 – If you notice that your cat seems uncomfortable, you can add some water to their toilet area. Add just enough so they have enough room to do their thing without feeling like they’re taking a swim!

If you notice that your cat seems uncomfortable, you can add some water to their toilet area. Add just enough so they have enough room to do their thing without feeling like they’re taking a swim!

#7 – Keep adding water until there are about 2 inches left. You may also want to keep adding small amounts as time goes on until your cat feels comfortable enough with only an inch or less of water in their toilet area.

You may need to keep adding water as time goes on, until your cat feels comfortable with only an inch or less of water in their toilet area. If you are training a kitten, it may take longer for them to get used to the idea of going on dry land.

#8 – Once they’ve gotten used to having no water at all, it’s time for their business! Use poop bags and flush away any messes they make after doing their thing in the toilet bowl! They will feel accomplished when they see how easy it was for them to use this new method instead of going back into their old litter box (which isn’t good for cats either). Takeaway: It takes time but eventually you’ll be able to train your cat so they can poop in the toilet!

Cats are not naturally toilet trained. It takes time and patience, but it is possible to train your cat to use the bathroom in the toilet. Be careful when attempting this method because it may not work immediately. There’s no need for punishment or anger if you don’t see results right away; just stick with it! If you want to make sure that your pet stays healthy and happy, then make sure they’re able to do their business in an appropriate place (i.e., inside a litter box).

Conclusion

The toilet is a great way for your cat to relieve themselves, and it’s also good for you because it keeps the litter box clean. It will take time though so don’t get discouraged if your cat doesn’t get it at first!
