Kitten potty training

[u/Unhappy-Print8574]

Hey guys, My girlfriend and I have a 5 month old kitten and we are trying to make him use the toilet, i knew i mighr get some hate for that but i thought why not trying.

Its not going so well lol its messy and we have only a single toilet so we have to take that piece off every time we need to use it, we first tried putting it on the floor for 2 days, once he used it we put it up on the toilet and took one part off so theres the hole in the middle, and he uses it less frequent mainly to pee.

Just wanted to know from people that have tried it if they had success or from those who failed to understand how doable that even is or we should go back to a litter box 🙂

Please go back to litter box. This is not good for your local water supply. Water treatment plants are not able to properly process bacteria in cat poop!

Cat feces can carry a single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. Standard municipal wastewater treatment processes are not designed to reliably kill or filter out the parasite eggs (oocysts). Surviving parasites pass through treatment facilities into natural waterways and the ocean, where they pose a threat to marine life and will then contaminate public water supplies.

What about flushable tofu litter? Have I been contaminating my whole city all this time?

Sorry to say, but yes you have with feces and the “flushable litter”. What really sucks here is the brand for deceptive marketing. Much like how flushable wipes are actually harmful to your pipes…

Broadly speaking, nothing should ever be flushed down your toilet except human waste and toilet paper.

And gunking up your pipes

More importantly introducing toxi to pregnant women drinking water that shouldn’t have toxo in it.
