I'm going on a loong trip in a month. Need to train my cat to use the toilet so my mom does not have to clean the litter all the time. Day 1: she went number 1 & 2 on my sisters bed. (Lol) Day 2: has not used the toilet, but can't find accident anywhere YET! I've decided to keep her in the bathroom till she goes. Am I cruel? I think I'm going to burn in hell for this. #Cats Edit: adding cat age and pic for reference. Mimi is 10 yo Edit v2: I'm using a training kit. Currently on phase two of the steps after leaving her regular litter box in the bathroom for a week.
That’s cruel, a cat isn’t automatically going to use a toilet when it’s not a natural way to go. This sort of thing can work but not for all cats https://www.amazon.com/CitiKitty-Cat-Toilet-Training-Pack/dp/B000F1OS20 It’s also not instant, it takes time and training
Ah yes, thought it was a given that I'm using a training kit.
Eating any meat is cruel. Be 🌱
Thank you for the cat tax! 10 is a hard time to change habits. They’re senior citizens and they’re about as stubborn as senior citizens.
Ah, yes. And her TC is $0. :)
lol she’s a freeloader! Does she bring you dead animals to show you what a failure at hunting you are?
…that is not how you train a cat to use the toilet.
No shit. Any suggestions?
Google it, man. My sister did it with hers. I believe it takes a few months.
Just hire a cat sitter.
I have my mom and sister. it's my responsibility to take care of my animal. I'm doing this to ease the work for my fam. But worst case scenario, I will have to buy their love for mimi, and pay the fam.
Your response doesn’t make sense. Why would making your family watch the cat “ease the work” for them?
Mimi can shit wherever she wants. Your mom needs to cope
And that's how asshole kids are raised. My mom will NOT be disrespected like that. Did your mom sit on you when were young to deserve this kind of resentment?
I stand with Mimi. Don’t take things so seriously 😂
A month isn’t going to be long enough for a 10 year old cat to learn this. They’ll also be stressed when you leave so will be less likely to do it then. Buy one of those automated litter boxes now and help them get used to it before you go.
Get a litter robot
Agreed. They’re great. Super easy to clean the tray
For a 10 year old cat this does seem cruel, locking her in a room for what a month until she poops the way you want? Are you giving her incentive or treats? She probably thinks you’re punishing her and she doesn’t know why. This toilet training takes time and not all likes to do it. Just buy a litter robot or pay your mom vs tournament your cat.
+1 to Litter Robot. It's been a game changer.
There’s these robot litters. You don’t have to buy the most expensive one. Just get a cheap one that your family will empty 3 times a week

Good luck! My cat developed a spraying problem this year I haven’t figured out how to solve yet. Best advice is to isolate them from their preferred bathroom and redirect them. I’ve seen the toilet training stuff and I haven’t heard anyone have success with it. My cat would shit on my bed when I went on long trips. The solution was to put a tarp on the bed if I knew I was going to be away.
Fat oof 🥲 gl
The running joke is the cat is my owner and my job is to ask the cat nicely not to do things.
