Peeing in toilet
Does anybody elses cat do it besides mine?
For months now, jasper refuses to pee in his litterbox. I just woke up one morning, thought i heard water running and jasper was up peeing on the toilett. Im not complaining by any means, i just wish he would learn how to flush. He still poops in his box though . Plus, can anybody shed some light on WHY he started doing this ? Im curiosu cause i havent heard of it happening on its own before. Ive heard of people training for it but this is a new one for me

Be careful or your cat could end doing this and you'll have a huge water bill. Some people kept getting a huge water bill and had no idea why it was so high. The husband was home one day sick in bed and heard water running and found the cat flushing the toilet over and over! |

He takes no interest in flushing, for the past 6 months all hes been doing is jumping up, peeing, and jumping back down :P

Observing and being aware of urine "deposits" in the litter box is one of the few health-monitoring tools we have at our disposal as cat guardians. Urinary issues are ones with likely the greatest frequency of occurrence, and some of these issues are life-threatening in nature. Unless you're there on hand to monitor how much and how often you'll have no idea of his urine output. On the surface, sure,a little savings with litter...the risk? your kitty's painfully ill, you get huge Vet bills and, at worst you lose your cat. Yes, it's cute....so, save your video and "remember when..." I'd be discouraging that for sure if one of mine started it.

Just an idea but if you are ever concerned about his urine output you could always place a bowl in the toilet he uses and collect his output for the day in it and recheck every so often to make sure it isn't increasing(which is a sign of illness). You would probably have to put water in the bowl and if it had measurements on it you could tell at a glance how many cups he peed in a day and his scent would still be covered so the smell wouldn't make him use another toilet or have an accident. |

I've been researching toilet training cats and so far the method I think would work best is this one as we only have 1 bathroom for my family of 5. Also if you kept the mock toilet set up you could travel with it and once the cat was too old to handle the toilet you could reverse the training to move them back to litter.
Other than"it's unnatural" the only argument I have seen against toilet training is tracking waste. As you suggested a urine hat would work great at tracking pee and clean and dry it could be used to collect uncontaminated poo samples. Personally I would notice a lot more of what my cat is doing in the bathroom on the toilet than in a litter box tucked away in a corner. |

That pic of Jasper's so cute! Haha Gotta love him.
My parents had a female cat called Lucien RIP my little angel (I know wrong gender name, long story) And she used to pee in their toilet too. She was so cute because she was a very petite cat and peeing in the toilet. No training whatsoever, just like Jasper, no flushing either.
