Cats are capable of amazing tricks and abilities.

And one of the most exciting and practical skills you can teach them is to use the toilet instead of a litter box.

Not only is this convenient for you, it also helps you save space and eliminate the need to clean the litter box.

Let's look at a unique method that will help you teach your cat to use the toilet.

Preparation

Before you begin training, make sure your cat is healthy and stress-free. You will also need the following materials:

Toilet adapter or special trainer for cats.
Rewards in the form of treats or your cat's favorite food.
Patience and persistence.

Getting to know the adapter

Start by introducing your cat to the litter box adapter. Place it next to her litter box so she can examine and sniff it. Reward her with treats when she approaches the adapter to create a positive association.

Transferring the tray

Once your cat is used to the adapter, begin gradually moving the litter box closer to the toilet. This process may take several days or weeks, so be patient and take your time.

Gradually reducing the adapter level

As your cat gets used to going to the new location, begin to gradually lower the level of the adapter so that she can stand on it to relieve herself.

Again, use rewards to encourage her for each successful step.

Removing the adapter

Once your cat can stand confidently on the adapter, try removing it completely.

Your cat may be a little confused the first time, but continue to encourage her and help her overcome obstacles.

Support and encouragement

Continue to reward your cat and praise her for each successful toilet visit.

Be patient and remember that every cat learns at its own pace.
