Anyone Remember This? Cats and Bathroom Habits
Does anyone recall those ads that used to claim a cat could learn to
use the toilet like a person does? Does anyone have any experience with this? |

The late Jazz great Charles Mingus had a training method that claims to be able to entice a cat to use a human toilet. http://www.mingusmingusmingus.com/Mi..._training.html Before flaming, please note that I have not tried to train a cat to do this, and I am not a proponent of this method. I did, however, find it interesting and Mingus was a smart dude. |

I personally want my cat's ass as far away from my stuff as possible. From time to time people come in here talking about how they've trained their cats this way. You can do it.

Now this is really funny. Because, Gracie always comes to see me when I am in the bathroom in the morning, on the throne, so to speak. And if I am there, uh, for a little while, she tiptoes out and I hear scratching in the box. So I guess she feels the same way you do! lol -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

That is really funny :-)
It is probably a lot like when you mention having to "go use the bathroom" and you bring it up to whomever is around - then they have to use the facilities too... Just because someone mentioned it or reminded you... LOL I am really getting a chuckle from these posts... Seriously, I am not advocating the use of this method. But I do remember that when I was still just a young kitten there were ads out for this method. That was quite a few years ago, in the sixties or seventies... I can't help but imagine what the cat might leave behind on the toilet seat... So maybe they were training the cats to use the toilet with the lid up? LOL I still can't imagine this method really working because sometimes my cats do "their business" on the side of the box... But in any case, we may never know for sure... chuckles |

I have 3 boxes of which one is in hall outside bathroom and as soon as I hit the throne there is always at least one that has to use it and it is usually the one that stinks the most when she goes!! But then 3 of mine are females and as most people know females can not seem to go to the can by themselves - they need company!! I guess that female cats are no different the female humans!!! :-) HEE HEE |
