Cat Health & Safety

Yes, you can toilet-train your cat (and amaze your family and friends). But should you? Probably not. Using a cold, porcelain potty goes against a cat’s natural instincts and it deprives you of the opportunity to pick up on early, concerning changes in your cat’s peeing and pooping — which are very important to catch! And then there’s the logistics, like what happens if someone accidentally leaves the door or lid closed or is using the bathroom when your cat needs to go? Your kitty isn’t likely to wait patiently, I’ll tell you that much! In most instances, and for many reasons, the best bathrooms for your cat are big ol’ litter boxes.
