    I haven't, and after watching videos on Youtube about how to do it, I don't think it would work so well for me.

    First, it helps if you can have a toilet just for the cat. At least in the beginning stages. Because you will be putting a pan or some sort of thing in the toilet that will remind the cat of a little box to get the cat adjusted, the toilet will not be able to be used for humans.

    My nephew's ex girlfriend had a toilet trained cat. They said it worked, but they did have one toilet just for the cat to use. And it had to be kept open at all times. They also said one problem was the cat didn't know how to flush. But I do think some cats can be trained even to do that.

    Though it can be done, toilet training is counter-intuitive for cats, so I wouldn't want to put my kitties through the "training process," which can be stressful for them. I stick with the tried-and-true litter box.

    Just be sure you cleanse yourself of parasites every once in a while! (But thank you for having a litter-box cat. It's so much more considerate than letting your cat use the neighbours' garden!) :)

    Good idea! Are there any parasite cleanse kits you recommend?
