Should You Toilet Train Your Cat: Bad Idea - Confirmed by Many Cat Owners
Many cat owners believe that it would be nice if their pet used the toilet for its needs.
Indeed, this solution can be called, firstly, environmentally friendly, since there is no need to come into contact with cat excrement and use filler, and secondly, convenient, since there is no need to regularly wash the tray and change granules.
These two pluses are all the positives you can expect from a cat going to the toilet. After that, it's all about the minuses.
For cats, the process of going to the litter box itself is important. They want to sit comfortably, look around, dig a hole, then relieve themselves and then bury the whole thing. If Murka cannot bury her excrement, the process of visiting the toilet remains incomplete, which causes her stress.
In addition, the toilet itself is dangerous for the cat because of its height and slipperiness. If the animal falls into the toilet one day, it will probably get scared, after which it will go to the toilet wherever it deems necessary.
Remember that you will not be able to assess changes in stool or urine: their quantity, color, consistency, presence of blood. This may lead to you missing signs of diseases in the early stages.
Finally, the toilet is still the same for the whole family, and the number of people wishing to use it is only increasing. If the cat fails to go to the toilet in time, it may defecate somewhere else or develop a urinary tract disease.
