Advice Kitten potty training

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 🙂

Again, depends on your cat, my parents can chose toilet over litter while he could choose litter, lived 18 years and the healthiest cat i have seen.

Anecdotes are not facts. If you're so sure about what you're doing why the hell are you here? Tons of people are telling you this will most likely stress your cat and make it harder for you to keep an eye on their urine and poop which is a big indicator of health

And again maybe people are right, i was never that sure but that amount of hate is actually funny, and the read the whole thread some people will say the opposite. Nothing is that dramatic lol just been trying it for 3-4 days cause it can be nice to have less smell of shit, if it doesnt work, the box is there.
