Anyone done this? I’m considering this for my kitten. Any suggestions, experiences appreciated…

A [good friend of mine](http://www.karawynn.net/mishacat/toilet.html) has toilet trained her cat, and tells you how to do it on her website.

She’s had good luck with it… just remember to keep the seat up.

My sister’s bobcat learned how to poop in the toilet by itself.

Unfortunately, it also fished the turdy out of the toilet afterwards. They don’t let Baxter in the bathroom anymore.

I did, I did! Okay, so in actuality I trained them and then we went back to the box thanks to a certain cat’s UTI. A lot depends upon the personality of the cat; one of mine was a breeze, the other not so much. I did a little research on line and even joined a yahoo group, which was wonderful for all sorts of tips. It took about two months and was great to have them trained. Good luck!
