I Don't Believe it!!!!!!!!
Something unusual was happening. Usually when Mico goes to pee in the
litterbox, it makes a certain sound. But today I heard the tinkle of water, and went to see what was happening. I was hoping he wasn't peeing into the sink. Well lo and behold, he was perched on the toilet seat with his rear end over the toilet! I NEVER trained him to do anything like that, I always thought that kind of stuff was just not natural. Who woulda thunk?????? Anybody else have a cat that has taught itself to pee in the toilet? - Ruby Tuesday |

Teach him how to flush :-) Bikkie uses the bathroom sink. I wouldn't ever train a cat to use the toilet or sink, but hey, once they decide that's where they are going, you can't do much about it. :-) Sherry |

Unfortunately, he died of FeLV a few months later. But he was a smart cookie. |

My cat Scottie's biological brother, Jack, did, too. His mom said she was combing her hair, etc. one day in the bathroom and he came in, got on the toilet, squatted, and went. I've lost touch with her so don't know if he continued to do it. Candace |

If Mico is lucky enough to live to be a senior cat, he may start having trouble hopping up there - he could slip and fall in, etc. Toilet-training cats sounds like a good idea, but it's potentially dangerous as the cat ages. =( BLink |

Patches used both. |
