Kwitter, the cat toilet training system by Litter Kwitter and the CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit are two popular methods for teaching your cat to use the toilet. We tried them both, here are our tips and tricks for getting your cat to use the potty quickly and easily. 
I love our cat. He’s a good snuggler and great at playing hide-and-seek with our toddler when I really need someone to entertain him long enough for me to get dinner on the table. But I don’t love cleaning the cat litter box! And I don’t love buying cat litter every month, so we started looking at other options.
Potty training a cat, I know what you’re probably thinking. Is this for real? If you’re like me, you remember that famous scene from the Focker’s movie and you’re thinking, no way it’s that simple. But being that we are always up for the challenge, we decided to try it out and test the toilet training your cat theory.
First, don’t attempt this system with a younger kitten. Both toilet training systems recommend that your cat be at least three months old, the older the better. Wait till your cat is ready to begin potty training.
How long does it take? A few weeks. Some people have had success after just two weeks and some take a few more. Give it 4 to 5 weeks on average.
Which system is best? We tried both and in the end found the Litter Kwitter to be better. The Litter Kwitter has a bigger ring and is made of a sturdier plastic.

Go slow. Don’t try to rush your cat through the steps, give him plenty of time to get familiar with each transition. It took us a little while to get our cat comfortable with moving the tray from floor to toilet, we had to backtrack the first time we tried and give him a little more time.
Also, if you can reserve a bathroom just for the cat, we found that works best. Cat’s have an extremely sensitive nose so giving them their own bathroom will avoid confusion or deterrence due to other smells. We used the downstairs bathroom since it was easiest to just block off and give our cat his own space for a few weeks.

My daughter’s been begging for a cat. I’ve always said no due to having to clean up after another animal. I’ll have to look into this product! Looks interesting!
This would be great. I hate the smell of litter boxes.
Okay, the cat picture is adorable. Love it.
I should have toilet trained my cats. They’re too old now.
I should show this to my cat obsessed friend – her and the cat would like this!!
I’m really interested in this because it’s going to reduce the cost of taking care of our cat. Plus you don’t have to worry about cleaning the litter box. I think it’s awesome!
This is so cool! I didn’t think toilet training a cat was actually possible. I’ll have to try this if I ever get a cat.
I have heard of this but don’t know if any of the cats I had would have wanted to do this. It is a great way to save on litter and to avoid the smell.
Interesting tips, I don’t have any pets but never would have thought to give the cat its own bathroom
This is smart tips! I’m glad that my cat know how to use toilet this time, I wish I knew this But I’ll go to spread this one.
the kittie is so cute. these are some really smart tips. i know brother could def use them
Litter boxes are seriously my downfall. These tips are great to help!
If we ever get another cat, I’m going to toilet train them. I’m so over litter boxes for the rest of my life. Thanks for share this!
I have a friend who did this. The visual of a person walking into the bathroom and accidentally disturbing the cat is hilarious to me. Cool, though. I wonder if anyone has toilet trained a dog.
I so need to try this with my cats! i have 2 and this would be so nice

Ah, I always wondered how people were able to train cats to do this. The Litter Kwitter system sounds like it would be helpful.
I have heard of people toilet training their cats but I thought it would be really hard. It sounds like Litter Kwitter is the way to go.
I’ve never wanted to clean a litter box, so have steered away from adopting a cat. If I could toilet train one successfully, I’d definitely be more open to getting one for our family. These are really great tips!
This is crazy! I had no idea this was a real thing. I will have to tell my mom about this. What a great way to train cats.
It would be so nice to have cats trained to use the toilet. I am so tired of litter boxes! Sometimes I even have regrets about having cats in the house. But they are so cute and cuddly, so cleaning up after them is what I get in exchange of those cuddles. I will try to toilet train them, thanks for sharing the info.
My BIL has his cat toilet trained. its really the neatest thing. My cats, I’m not so sure if it would work for them! would be awesome though if so! – jeanine
It would be a dream if my cats would learn to use the toilet. If that happens, then me and my family won’t be pointing fingers at each other to clean the litter box. It would save me money too, because I won’t have to buy cat litter. If my cats would learn this, the next thing I’d teach them is how to flush. 🙂
This is so worth the time. Litter is the worst to have to deal with.
I don’t have cats but I’ve been really curious about this! I think it’s awesome that you can toilet train your cats, it’s going to allow you to save on litter as well! So cool!
I never even knew this existed! I would love to check this out sometime. What a cool idea!
