How to Toilet Train Your Cat 21 Days to a Litter-Free Home

Goodbye, litter box! Hello, toilet!

Now there’s a better way. Using Paul Kunkel’s foolproof 21-day program you can break the litter box habit and teach your cat the clean, healthy alternative of using the toilet.

Toilet training isn’t just for your convenience. Many cats equate the smell of a litter box with danger, causing stress, and the fragrances, dyes, and disinfectants found in most litter are detrimental to your pet’s well-being. So yes, it’s true: A toilet-trained cat is a happier, healthier cat.

The requirements are simple: Magazines or newspapers. Masking tape and heavy-duty plastic wrap. One last bag of litter. And a litter-trained cat between the ages of six months and ten years (you can teach an older cat new tricks, but it may take longer). Then, 21 days later, the transition from box to toilet will be complete, and your cat will be the newest toilet-trained member of your family. Really.

Paul Kunkel is a freelance writer who toilet trained his first cat while in college and has been using the method ever since.
