If your cat is picky about their litter, you may want to get them slowly changed over to a flushable litter first. If the non-flushable litter falls into your toilet it could mean some large plumbing bills.

Elevate the litter each week in segments

Prior to training, while waiting for your litter seat to come in the mail you can start elevating the litter box slightly higher each day until it can sit on top. You can use stacks of newspaper, cardboard or worn out magazines to raise the litter box by 3 inches every day till it’s on close to the toilet seat.

Put the litter box on the toilet seat

When the litter box is level to the toilet seat then put it on the top of the toilet seat and let it be there for a couple of days. This way your cat will get comfortable and relaxed enough to be on the toilet.

Swap the litter box with a training seat filled with flush-able litter

As soon as your cat is easily using the litter box without any mishaps then this is the stage when you can use your training seat. And swap the litter box with a training seat filled with flush-able cat litter.

Switch into using the toilet

Give your cat adequate time to get used to going to the bathroom on the training seat. As soon as your cat feels safe about squatting on the training seat he/she will begin to use it.

Remove the training seat

After slowly expanding the dimensions of the hole or training plates, you can take away the training base finally. Now your cat should be relaxed and content in going to the bathroom in the toilet rather than the litter box.
