I should have taken a picture of the kit.

It has a picture of cat doing his or her business in the toilet.

I don't know what is in the kit but will the cat learn to flush.

getting them to flush isn't the hard part; they're like little kids, fascinated by the swirling water. the hard part is getting them to poop in the toilet in the first place.
But this cat somehow learned...

2. I have seen that video.
I would hate to have their water bill.

I had a cat that like dripping water, always tried to catch the drips.

Another cat would like to jump into the bath tub when the water was draining.

Some cats like water.

3. My sister's cat taught himself to use the toilet.
Mom thought one of us kids weren't flushing or the toilet needed work. Then one day she caught the cat on the toilet, doing his thing.

Mom didn't believe in litter boxes - the cat went outside most of the time, but he had been an indoor cat before he was given to us. He never went anywhere inappropriate, just figured out that the toilet was the place to do it.

He never flushed, though.

Here is Tao, doing his thing in our 1969 bathroom:


Sorry it's such a bad image - but it's the only one I have.

5. Very smart cat!
I would LOVE to walk into the bathroom one day and find just one of my cats doing that.

I will die never knowing that joy, however. :(

6. This is the most awesomest thing I've heard ever
in my life, ever.

Ever.

Seriously, you've brought me joy.

7. I'm thinking I saw once that those kits have a small litter pan...
.
.
.
... that fits suspended inside the bowl and after a while the
pan is unnecessary.

10. No.
I love the video of the kitties on the pot.

Now we will have the cats knocking on the door needing to use the bathroom.

11. My Moggy used the toilet for two weeks when he was around 11 months old -
The litter box was next to the toilet, so apparently after watching me do my business for a few months, he decided he could use it, too.

Until he fell in.

No more toilet use....
