Hello, everyone

So this crazy thing happened: my cat started peeing in the toilet

She always had litter issues, and she has problems with cleanliness; before, she peed in random places in my house

I took her to the vet, who told me that it was probably due to stress

But recently she started urinating in the toilet. I was shocked because I never taught her that before; she did it by herself

, I come home from work, and I feed her; usually, then a little poop follows

I see that she is heading to the FORBIDDEN rooms of the house: where to poop, the dressing room, and my bed, which obviously I refuse her by closing the doors because she likes to urinate and poop everywhere except in her litter box

But something crazy happened: she pooped in the toilet

Although this situation enchants me and I am shocked, I am still worried.

How I Trained My Cat to Poop in the Toilet

Step 1 – Moving the Litter Box

I placed the litter box in the bathroom over several days. No rushing.

Step 2 – Raising the Litter Box Gradually

Once in the bathroom, I raised the litter box inch by inch using sturdy supports.

Step 3 – Introducing the Toilet Tray

I replaced the litter box with a training tray over the toilet.

Step 4 – Reducing Litter Slowly

Each week, I reduced the litter amount until my cat was comfortable without it.

Step 5 – Transitioning to the Toilet Completely

Finally, I removed the tray. My cat figured it out surprisingly fast.

Conclusion

Training my cat to pee and poop in the toilet was one of the most unexpected yet rewarding experiences of pet ownership. It’s not for every cat—or every owner—but if done correctly, it can be life-changing. The key is patience, consistency, and understanding your cat’s limits.
