Toilet training your cat. They say it can be done, and CitiKitty has put together a complete Cat Toilet Training Kit to help make it incredibly easy. Now, I haven’t tried this yet myself, but after reading all about the CitiKitty I think I’m going to give it a shot.
The kit includes a training seat that is placed underneath the toilet seat to transition your cat from the litter box to the toilet. There’s also a training guide and a tip sheet, plus a packet of CitiNip catnip for use during the training process. The training guide has explicit instructions on how to first move your cat from using the litter box to using the toilet with litter, and then to using just the toilet with no litter. It’s a multi-step process that can be used with any cat that is healthy, at least three months old, and already successfully litter-box trained. It is also possible to train multiple cats at once.
According to CitiKitty, the benefits of toilet training your cat include:
- NO MORE LITTER MESS Toilet trained cats do not use kitty litter, eliminating the mess and smell of a litter box from your home.
- BETTER FOR YOUR CAT Because your cat is toilet trained they will no longer be exposed to chemicals and silica dust found in many litter brands, which has been proven to cause respiratory and other health-related problems in cats.
- SAVE $$$ Toilet trained cat owners have the luxury of not having to purchase kitty litter, saving them thousands of dollars.
- BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Each year more than 4 billion pounds of kitty litter is sent to landfills in the United States. Most of that litter is made from strip mined clay which is a non-renewable resource. By toilet training your cat you help preserve precious resources.
- MORE TIME FOR YOUR CAT Why spend endless hours cleaning up a litter box when you can be spending it playing with your cat!
Now, this may not be for every cat, but there are an awful lot of comments from satisfied customers on the CitiKitty website, and there seem to be quite a few success stories, so it just might work for your cat.
A few words about flushing cat feces
This is a controversial topic, as we found out last year during Litter Week. I uncovered some important information, first read this post about the problems that can be caused by flushing cat feces, then make sure to read the follow-up post about how it can be quite safe to flush in most situations.

I had a friend who did this and it is amazing! I tried to do it with my kitties, no luck so far. But this sounds like it would work!

CitiKitty is awesome! I’ve used it once. But need another as my little guy has decided that he doesn’t like pooping in the toilet.

I’ve tried this once before with a different system. I’m excited to try again!

SUCH a good idea! My friend made a homemade version, and it worked well, but this one looks so much more practical!

Genius. Can’t believe we haven’t tried this sooner.

Just ordered my Citikitty! I have high hopes for both of my cats to start using them and be litter free!

I am starting the process of raising my litter box now and will be very happy if we can get our two younger kitties trained. We have two boxes and our older cat doesn’t really use the one upstairs. I haven’t decided if I will train him to use it as well because he is getting on in years and is already showing signs of not liking to jump up and down from things.

I tried the Litter Kwitter and did not succeed. My one cat might have been successful but the other one was holding it for so long I thought she’d explode. So another great idea in the storage unit. I shared my one toilet with the “girls” for 4 months and the mess and worry about my one cat having medical issues because she refused to use it sent the unit back into it’s box. I do know people who have successfully toilet trained their cats, but you really need to have more than one toilet in your home.

I’ve been debating myself whether or not to attempt toilet training my two cats. CitiKitty looks promsing; fingers crossed.
