    A receptacle for holding cat litter material is secured in a toilet bowl in such a fashion that it can be easily used by cats. The apparatus includes a substantial flange for providing stability and a rim overlapping tab to secure the receptacle to the front of the toilet bowl. Holes are provided in the bottom of the receptacle to drain liquid. The size and location of the receptacle is such that it covers only approximately 1/6 of the total opening of the bowl. Therefore the apparatus can be used with cats at will and without assistance and does not have to be removed in order for the bowl to be used by humans. A cat can be trained to use the apparatus with progressively smaller amounts of litter material until the cat uses the apparatus without any litter material at all. At that point it may be possible to remove the apparatus so that the cat relieves itself directly into the toilet bowl.

    In all honesty, I wish you wouldn't. It's the worst idea anyone has ever come up with. At least if you love your cat it is.

    * Toilet-training goes against a cat's natural instinct to dig, eliminate, and cover his waste.

    * You must always keep the lid of the toilet open for the cat. The first time someone closes the lid, the cat has no option but to eliminate on carpet.

    * Cats can't flush so the odor from solid waste will linger until someone flushes.

    * Even though you can buy toilet-training kits, eventually you'll have to do away with the kit and have your cat straddle the toilet. For a very young cat, an old cat, one who is ill or has arthritis, this can be difficult. Toilet seats are slippery.

    * If your cat falls in the toilet, although he may be able to get out, the panic and stress of the event can cause him to not want to eliminate in the toilet again. Should he fall into a dirty toilet, then you have the added stress of having to bathe him. If he's home alone, he'll be dealing with the traumatic event for hours by himself.

    * Keep in mind that should your cat ever have to be hospitalized or boarded he will be put in a cage with a litter box. Once he returns home, you may have to retrain him to the toilet again.

    Not a good idea. With today's clumping litters, it's not that hard to clean a box. If doing so really bothers you, get one of the new boxes that combs the litter into a small area that is lined with a bag, so you do not have to.

    Please.
