Reddit mentions: The best cat toilet training systems

Wait wait! If you doooo happen to still have a question...

Please ask it here at this fancy IAMA I made for you. :)

I have accomplished this mission! And it was so worth it. Esp for all the small NYC apts I've been living in. The process took about two months. Which means whatever toilet the cat has claim to, you have to kinda just deal by moving it.

I suggest buying this kit:
http://www.amazon.com/Litter-Kwitter-Quitter-Toilet-Training/dp/B0014N70QO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1301077377&sr=8-1

The $15 onetime use ones do work, but I ended up buying this because I found it helps to be able to re-outfit the toilet sometimes with the last ring and litter, just to remind him what's what. The Litter Kwitter has instructions and guidelines for what age to start and what steps to take. It's also a much more elegant solution than the onetime uses.

The Success Story:
Cat uses the toilet! I hardly ever touch litter (but I keep some around). And guests gawk if they are ever fortunate enough to witness his skills. This is prob his own personality, but my cat likes to announce before he goes with meowings. And sometimes he'll beat me to the toilet. Absolutely worth it to wait for him and think about all the litter I'm not touching.

The "Failure" Story:
Cats like to communicate via bowel movements. So when I've been on vacation too long or something else bugs him, (or someone leaves the lid down!!) he'll forgo the toilet for different types of fabric around the apt. This is not too different from other cats except that once it's fixed he's re-discovered that the floor was much easier to position on than the toilet. Hence the need for the last ring and some extra litter. I've found that setting up the last stage of the training will convince him to go "on" the litter without much of a struggle. Then it's just about waiting that last week of the training again to ween him off the litter/tray.

Note that your litter box can now become something of a bargaining chip. If I know I'm going away for a week or so I'll put out the litter box for him. And he seems to think it's a fair trade, when I come back he'll shape right up.

That's it pretty much it in a nutshell. You gotta keep his short term memory connecting the toilet to the place to go. And then just track his health they way you would for any kitty.

Extra tidbits:**

• he's only ever fallen in 1.5 times (in 2-3yrs-ish) when startled and I quickly bathed him
  
• he's had a couple urinary tract infections and being able to see the actual color of his pee has really helped make him better
  
• he smells good for a lot longer btwn baths! and doesn't track litter around the house! awesome
  
• white vinegar is your best friend for disinfecting hardcore and destroying cat urine smell forever. Just poooour it on and wait for the smell to dry away and you won't smell a bit of the urine - it also gets rid of the secret cat chemicals, so my cat forgets that piece of fabric was ever a pee spot.
  
  Anything else you wanna know, I'm game. :)

So, this is what you're looking for: https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Toilet-Flusher-for-Cats/dp/B0047P3KL0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I know it's weird. I bought one back when I had a toilet trained cat (yes, it is a thing, yes it was awesome). It flushes automatically when the 'beam' is broken after, say, a cat has jumped on it and then left. It will also flush once every 24 hours. I never actually set up the beam part correctly because I am not technologically savvy, but it was kinda cool to be able to flush the toilet by waving my hand over it (while it sat on the counter) like I was a magician. It doesn't say 'citikitty' anywhere on it, it's just a cool autoflush thing. I still have it set up in my downstairs bathroom.

>Water pressure in the shower is on minimal and I'll have to fix that now.

In my home, it's the dishwasher, microwave and toaster oven breaking one after the other. The toaster oven was the best, with a spring popping in the door so that when you close the door, it falls and slams open on the counter. I'm programmed by habit to close the door when it's left open, so I'm banging the door on the kitchen counter several times a day.

On the plus side, I finally bought a microwave that lets me turn off that infernal beeping. Oh, and I'm toilet training my cats, which is like doing baby diapers again, but scooping poop out of the toilet training tray with a gloved hand.

You could also train the cat to poop in the toilet. I really want to do this myself because my cat is VERY messy with her litter. Basically, all you'd have to deal with is leaving a toilet uncovered and then occasionally flushing for him or her. However, there are evidently automatic flushers for when your kitty goes, but those are super expensive.

yes, that is exactly what this is:

edit: not exact one but you seem interested

I've heard that this one works a lot better, because it is more stable, and you can go back a step if your cat isn't ready for the next step.

Sure! It even has a money back guarantee!

Sinon ça ? =D
(en plus de la remarque sur la litière, pour le début)

One of my friends trained her cat to shake hands for a treat and now he just does it when you tap his paw, no treat necessary. She also mentioned she used a clicker at the beginning too but I don't know what she used it for.

Edit: This product can train your cat to use the toilet too

Or use something like this

I used a Litter Kwitter kit, they sell on amazon-

Cats learn really quick. Will take a month or so, as you progress through the different inserts on that kit. I trained a non-bengal cat once and it took a bit longer, but he still learned too. So your girl being F3/F2 will probably take to it very fast

It is not that hard: http://www.amazon.com/Toilet-Training-System-Litter-Kwitter/dp/B0014N70QO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1374428233&sr=8-2&keywords=cat+trainer+toilet+seat

I am thinking this one. Figure I can probably start with the second one since she already has it, just to remind her with the litter smell.

Look into getting a [Litter Kwitter](Cat Toilet Training System By Litter Kwitter - Teach Your Cat to Use the Toilet - With Instructional DVD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014N70QO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NshLybKKQAN3M). My cat was toilet trained until he got too old and started having joint issues from being hit by a car before I adopted him.

But you can teach them
