About this item
- Train your cat to use a human toilet in 8 weeks or less
- No more mess, no more germs, no more smells, no more hassle
- The training is easy for cat owners to understand and use
- Comes with a standard white seat that fits most standard toilet bowls (see measurement diagram image above)
- Developed with animal behaviorists, vets and cat breeders to make sure they work with the cat's natural instincts
Cats bury their waste in a litter tray to hide the odor from predators. This is a survival instinct.
When they use the toilet instead of the litter tray the water in the pan hides the odor more effectively and the cat is satisfied.
The Litter Kwitter leads the cat through three stages of behavior modification to teach the cat how to balance on the toilet, how to aim correctly into the pan and finally how to go without the need for litter.
The special white seat starts on the floor next to the toilet with the red training disc full of litter just like their regular litter tray. Later, the whole thing is placed on the toilet rim so your cat learns to hop up to go. This takes around 2-3 weeks on average.
- It fits most standard toilets and ships with a full color instruction book so anyone can do it.
- There are also online video tutorials you can watch by scanning the QR code on the packaging with your smartphone or tablet.
- This award-winning product is sold in over 40 countries
- The Litter Kwitter has appeared on TV hundreds of times including BBC 1, BBC2, HGTV, Fox News, CNN and NBC.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought both this product and City Kitty, but found this one to be superior for two reasons:
1. It's sturdier
2. After "graduating" to the next ring on either system, if you have an accident, you may have to regress and go back to the previous tray. The punch-out system of the City Kitty product doesn't allow for that.
This product works extremely well, but these are my insights for training that I wish others had shared with me:
1. SUCCESS TAKES 2-3X LONGER THAN PROMISED
If you work from home or are a house-parent, this is ideal. If you don't, it will be difficult for you to change the trays 5+ times/day for this training after you graduate to not having any litter in the trays.
Cats eliminate where they feel safe - it's instinctive - they don't want to be attacked, nor attract another animal to their elimination spot. That's why they don't like a dirty box/tray. (They would prefer you cleaned their boxes daily - why the mechanical boxes are a bad idea.)
So cats may eliminate improperly if you're not cleaning these trays regularly, every time they go.
So consider your planned vacations and do this when you know you'll be home for a 3 month run if you want it to really work. Otherwise you'll need a cat sitter that can come 4x a day minimum.
(Eventually you graduate to not using any litter, and your cats are not going to step into litter-less trays of piss. Sometimes they'll miss the hole and that's what you'll have. If you don't have someone coming to clean often enough (and they pee as much as 5 times a day - your cats will eliminate outside of it.)
Every time you transition from one insert to the next, expect a possible setback. Your cat may protest pooping in the toilet because it's not as comfortable to stand on a ledge, as on the ground (peeing is easier to get them to do). So they may poop on the floor in front of your toilet. If they do this, revert to the previous tray and start giving more verbal praise when they do either in the toilet correctly.
The folks that fail with this process are probably doing a few things wrong: they're not patient enough, they're not cleaning nearly as often as they should be, and they're not giving enough praise to the animal when they get it right.
Use an immense amount of positive talk to "reward" your cat and get them to repeat the good behavior. If you end up frustrated, it's probably your fault.
2. TRAIN ALL TOILETS (& CATS) TOGETHER
Don't think one cat will use the box and the other this. Not likely.
Start off this training by getting some door stoppers, and don't move them. Ever.
You don't want your cat locked out of their toilet(s). If you have more than one toilet in the house, go get a litter box to put next to each, and order one of these kits for each to train in all steps at all toilets. (Unless you plan on never opening the door of that bathroom for the cat).
Doing this in more than one toilet is also highly recommended if you have more than one cat if you want success. Think about it, at some point you're going to have a guest use the toilet your cats use. Or sometime you'll forget yourself and close the bathroom door. When this happens, your cats are not going to know to "wait" or that someone else is using their restroom. All they're going to know is panic - that they've been locked out of their restroom. So training in ALL toilets gives them a backup to go to. It's common sense.
Is it gross to have kitty feet on your toilet? Only if you wear shoes inside and have dirty floors. In which case, I'd recommend putting some wipes next to your toilet. But really, what's more disgusting than a box of litter in your home, and dirty feet tracking bacteria and crumbles throughout your house?
3. REMEMBER, IT'S THEIR TERRITORY
The first step in this training process is to slowly move the litter box(es) toward your bathroom(s) you'll be training in. Remember, you're moving more than a box, it's a marker of their territory and belonging/acceptance to your space.
Move your cat box(es) slowly toward the bathroom(s), so they don't feel their bathroom should still be in whichever corner you just took it from. Move SLOW is my advice, or you may regret it. It's messy during the transition and you may have litter in your hallway. It pays off in the end when you have a litter-free, box-less life.
*Some tips for your bathroom:
Cats will often poop on a rug because the rubber backing is toxic to them and they don't like the smell (Your plastic shower curtain is also toxic to them, and you). If you want to create a cat-friendly bathroom, make sure you don't have a new shower curtain or any rugs they don't like. Throw away anything they poop on - they're trying to tell you something.
If they pee, wash, then soak it with this product from amazon: Bubba's Terminator before washing again.
4. PREPARE FOR MISHAPS
If your animals make a mistake, it's important NOT to discipline them or even sound disappointed in front of them - or you can confuse them even more and end up with a BIG problem.
When you are upset, from their point of view you're telling them that going to the bathroom is wrong. They don't understand why and they may end up just going out of the box and afraid that anywhere they go is "wrong".
Don't react when they make a mistake.
Get a black light to see what's really going on, because otherwise you probably won't know how bad it is. Clean with Bubba's Terminator from Amazon if you don't want them to return to the area. Otherwise, even though you can't smell it, they can. Bleach and even extra-strength cleaners won't do the job. (Watch a few episodes of My Cat From Hell for proof.) Traditional store-bought cleaners are toxic to your cat's paws which they lick them.
5. BUY LITTER ATTRACT (2 bags)
You don't need to elevate your cat box to get them "used to jumping" as the one reviewer says.
(Since when do cats need to be trained to jump? Hilarious.) All they need is to smell the alluring scent.
After you move the box and finally have it in the bathroom(s) for a full 2-3 weeks and they're using it regularly without any accidents elsewhere you're ready to transition to the Litter Kwitter. Use Litter Attract atop any litter. (I recommend World's Best Cat Litter - unscented.
Litter Attract sends the, "YES, YOU belong here" message to your cat.
*Cat pee is strong stuff, so be cautious where you store the waste inside or out, or your cats and others may spray that area repeatedly.
*You can spray your garbage cans outside with Orange Oil (also sold on Amazon), but NEVER spray it near or on a cat - it deters cats but is not safe inside your home as it can be toxic to cats. Use only outdoors where they can avoid it, or you'll be repelling your cat to your entire home, inside of it, which is unfair.
7. GIVE RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF PRAISE, OFTEN
Positive reinforcement works.
Give treats AFTER and ONLY when they've used the Litter Kwitter properly (but not during - give your cat space).
When your cat eliminates properly in the trays, give a ton of verbal, exaggerated praise for longer than you want.
Use your most syrupy, highest voice (as animal behaviorist Jackson Galaxy recommends). Say, "Good + their name" repeatedly until their tail is straight up in the air, all proud. Do this EVERY time you possibly can when you see them use the Litter Kwitter. If you can carry your cat to the toilet without them getting worried, do so and then give praise so they know what they're being praised for.
8. EXPECT IT TO BE GROSS
This system works but take patience and time. I found it to take 2-3 times as long as they promised. And in the meantime, it's REALLY messy to clean.
Eventually you'll transition away from litter all together, and be dumping pools of cat urine off the trays. (Be cautious not to use wipes and then put anything that touched the urine or poop in the inside waste bin or your cat may pee there.) All of this cleanup is way more intimate than anyone wants to get with their cat's elimination. If you're not prepared and don't have the patience for this, get a box (not a covered one), and if you're having problems with them going outside of it watch some My Cat from Hell episodes and you should be able to fix the problem quickly.
9. AFTER YOU GRADUATE FROM LITTER
When you clean, don't use bleach or traditional grocery-store products. A cat LICKS it's feet to clean them, so when you use a toxic cleaner, you could make them sick. Use an organic cleaner to clean the trays. Something like Fizzion Pet Stain & Odor Remover (sold on Amazon).
ONCE YOU GRADUATE FROM LITTER IN THE TRAYS DO NOT use an enzymatic cleaner (I recommended Bubba's etc). You WANT the trays to remain smelling like the cat's pee to THEM (not you). An enzymatic cleaner like Bubba's will make that scent disappear to them as well. You want the pee scent visible to them to reinforce, "Yes, go HERE! Here is your scent!"
10. CLEAN THE INSERTS CONSTANTLY
Cats are clean animals. Humans would never leave their excrement sitting in their home, but bizarrely, leave a cat box for days without scooping and think it's fine. Yet complain it smells.
A cat doesn't like this. (Neither do your house guests).
Just like a box, if it's too dirty your cats may protest, and eliminate elsewhere. So if you aren't home for this training to clean every time they pee - it's not going to work.
Once you've graduated from the litter, you have to clean the inserts 5+ times/day, per cat. Your animal is not going to step into a pool of piss to eliminate, so they'll go somewhere else.
Remember the reward - once the training is successful, you'll never have to scoop or touch any of it again, ever. And you'll never have dirty litter paws tracking it all over your house again.
If you end up frustrated, it's probably YOUR fault.
Funniest thing about having a cat use your toilet?
Sometimes you'll rush in needing to use the restroom and find they are, and you have to wait :)
Top reviews from other countries
As I have used both designs I can honestly say that this is the better design.
With the City Kitty you have to cut the litter insert for stages 2 & 3. With the Litter Kwitter you get THREE(3) sturdy inserts and the sturdy plastic of the base that the inserts go in to is a very good fit on an elongated toilet bowl.
While both designs can be cleaned, you only have two inserts that you have to cut the centre out as your cat goes through the three(3) stages of training The Litter Kwitter gives you three(3) separate inserts that you just swap out for the bigger hole. This works much better if you change centre hole sizes too soon and have to go back to the smaller hole. If this were to happen with the City Kitty, you would have to either use the spare insert and maybe have to cut its centre hole to the previous size. And if you really mess up using the City Kitty, you better be good at using duct tape to reattach the piece you cut out. The Litter Kwitter eliminates this whole issue by giving you three(3) separate inserts that you DO NOT cut to size.
The only thing I can suggest to people is to put the toilet seat DOWN on top of the Litter Kwitter and use some double sided foam mounting tape to build up a barrier between the feet on the toilet seat to reduce the litter that gets tossed out of the toilet instead of in to it. Attach the foam tape to the Litter Kwitter base to the same height as the supports on the underside of the toilet seat. Then some clear food wrap to seal the top adhesive.
I also went and bought one of those toilet seats that has a kiddy toilet trainer built in.
Once the cat is used to using the toilet without any inserts, I will lower the kiddy trainer seat down so he will have more of a flat surface to stand on. This toilet seat is sold here on Amazon.ca as well.
DO NOT BUY ANY SORT OF TOILET SEAT THAT USES ACTUAL WOOD!! They use particle board and if the paint gets scratched the damp will cause the wood to swell and fall apart.
I'm a 61yo batchelor and when I was training my first cat, it also trained me to put the seat down so neither my cat or a visiting female could fall in and drown. The cat has an excuse but the human should have looked first.
