How to Toilet Train Your Cat
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
So you want to train your cat to use the toilet? Toilet training a cat is not easy. Some people like to think of their cats as humans. But that doesn’t change that fact that cats are still of another species altogether. Their training should be specialized to suit their needs, mental abilities, and instincts. It takes time for them to develop good habits. One prime example is toilet-training. Expect to put in time, effort, and a lot of patience into this task. Remember that you are teaching your cat to be “domesticated” which is against their natural inclination.
Preparing for the Toilet Training
It is ideal to have two toilets inside the house if you want to train your cat. The first toilet can be for your usage while the second one can be for the cat. Your cat needs to get used to the height and strength of the flush of the water tank so if the two toilets have different specifications, don’t switch from one to another.
Also, take note that the cat should be at least six months old before undergoing toilet-training because they are continually growing. At some point, they need to balance themselves in the toilet seat. If they are used to using it when they were small, they might struggle once they get bigger. (more…)
