at least it tried to work it out! It's hard to work machinery made for hands and two feet when all ya got is four paws!

From the video submitter:

He's since returned to using the toilet properly. (Thank goodness!) A lot of people have commented that it's not right and that it's "unnatural" to have a cat use a toilet, but we trained him (and his sister Valentine) to use it for his health. He used to use regular cat litter and all the dust from it (even ones that claimed to be virtually dust free) used to make his eyes run constantly to the point where he was always squinting and his nose would be full of black booger, even though I would clean his nose every day. Neither of our two cats would take to things like newspaper pellets, though, because they thought it was food. As soon as we trained the cats to use the toilet, Ender's eyes were clear and he could actually open them all the way. His nose is clear and he's no longer constantly sneezing.

My Dad trained one of our cats to use the toilet back in the early 70's. It remained a "normal cat". It just used a toilet instead of a litter box.

Edit: A litter box was offered as an option (and a back-up plan to avoid stray turds in the house), but "Whiskers" preferred the toilet after being trained. It was a large Maine Coon.

When my cat is sleeping on top of me, I've "trained" him to move with a soft tap to the hind quarters, but that's about as much "training" as he'll accept.

ends up just going in the bowl. I would imagine this would be useful if I lived in a rural area and had to pay for my garbage to be disposed of.

And for those who taught their cats to flush?
