My kitten is infatuated with the toilet! I am wondering if I can potty train her, and how to go about doing it!? She plays in any water she finds here! TY
Skye.

It's possible and if you google "cat using the toilet" you'll find a lot of references and some hints.

Our senior dog does his best. On the odd occasions when he's been caught short and not able to get out he's gone into a bathroom and peed against the pedestal of the lavatory. Now, if only he were a foot or two taller he'd be there! Smile

You can potty train cats, but it is unlikely you can teach them to flush, so that may not be the best bet unless you get a motion sensor flusher or something. You might want to just close the toilet seat, though.

We had a cat who was infatuated with water -vases, sinks, the shower, glasses, anything. We couldn't leave water out anywhere. It turned out she had advanced kidney disease. But we got her a cat fountain and ran Pedialite and water through it and she was less interested in other water after she had neat water of her own.

After her first check-up if the vet tells you all is well, you might want to get her a fountain and see if that helps. No Pedialite, though, if she's healthy.

My kitty was about to flush last night! My son said she looked at him as if "she" was to flush! She never did! But being so enthused with the stool... I can see a kitty using it, but flushing, too?

Skye....a cousin of mine had a cat that used the toilet...they placed the litter box closer and closer to the toilet and then purchased a litter box that fit on the toilet like a training seat...then that was removed and the cat went potty there...He did not flush though....but here is a cute you tube clip of a cat who flushes.

We had a dog that did that.. we put a cat cover on the box and it prevented the dog from REACHING the "morsels" Eek

That dog was 150 pound German Shepherd/Lab mix.

Our 2 current dogs are Schipperkes and are 18 and 28 pounds.. it would not work for them. Roll Eyes

Good point, Sherasi! We have a 115LB Akita/Shep mix, but she has no time of day for our kitty, nor does she for her! Crazy creatures!
