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.

Title: Add a custom scooper and two toilet size options
Review: This is a great training product. Our kitten seems to be learning quick. It’s sturdy and easy to clean. I would suggest making two toilet size options. Fortunately we have one bathroom with the smaller, rounded bowl that this trainer works with. It does not fit the oblong larger bowls. Also, for an extra dollar you could add a smaller, custom pooper scooper. The normal size scoopers are too big to clean around all the grooves properly. Over all a great product though. Looking forward to no more litter.

Title: TRAINED MY 10-YEAR OLD MUTT RESCUE CAT. BUT HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
Review: I trained my 10-year old domestic short hair mutt rescue cat successfully on this system. However, there are several home-versions you can find on youtube. But these methods involve removing all of the water from your toilet, and filling a deep mixing bowl to insert inside the toilet filled with cat litter. This method won't allow you or guests to use your toilet yourself, while in training, so if it's your only toilet, it won't work. The Litter Kwitter does - you have to move the trays off though first (***and remember to put them back).I bought both this product and City Kitty, but found this one to be superior for two reasons:1. It's sturdier2. 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 PROMISEDIf 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) TOGETHERDon'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 TERRITORYThe 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 MISHAPSIf 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, OFTENPositive 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 GROSSThis 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 LITTERWhen 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 CONSTANTLYCats 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 🙂

Title: Same as every other review here
Review: This fit my toilet fine, but I did see a clip break off when I attached it. Still seemed to work so I wasnt bothered. I changed the litter OFTEN, which was difficult with the grooves but not impossible. Just grab tissue and wipe it clean after you dump the litter. Things were messy but not awful. Seemed worth it to never have to change a litter box again.However, my cat just didn't seem to be getting it. When we switched to the middle tray where there was a hole, he started pooping in my shower instead. We backtracked, but alas, he was unhappy regardless at this point. Normal litter box we go. Much happier kitty now.

Title: Some cats get it quicker than others...
Review: I have 2 cats and a dog. No matter how I booby trapped or hid the litter box, the lab will get into it. He finally progressed to the point where he just flips the litter box over to get into it making more of a mess to clean up. I got tired of it and started looking for alternatives. I decided to give this system a try.First impression - decently well built and easy to use. Although, it tends to leak where the inserts fit into the white tray.How it is supposed to work: Instructions are simple enough. Start with the red tray inserted into the white "seat" on the floor near the toilet. When the cat is comfortable using it regularly, advance to installing it on the toilet. When the cat is comfortable at that level, change out the red insert to the orange insert. Then to the green insert. Finally you should be able to remove the insert all together and kitty uses the toilet.Actual usage: The instructions don't really tell you how to manage using your litter in the inserts. I found a "safe to flush" clumping litter, but it is incredibly messy. I have two cats, the inserts are very small and my cats are very big (one is a ragdoll mix). I was having to scoop the messes several times a day, otherwise it would fill up quickly and nobody would use it again. The design makes it very awkward to scoop the litter out of the inserts. The inserts are very rounded, while most scoops are designed for square boxes. The inserts have these ridges in them that end up collecting the litter and urine, making it even more difficult to scoop. Plus, the "safe to flush" litter doesn't clump very well, so in the red insert phase - it was just plain messy to deal with. I basically have to empty the entire thing into the trash, then scrub clean in the sink, dry and then re-insert.Things got better when I progressed to the orange stage, as I could just kind of "fling" the mess into the toilet and flush, but that was still way more litter to put down the system than I actually wanted to. Plus the ridges are still present and the surface area to use the scooper is smaller, which means I still have to remove and scrub clean daily.Overall, the system does work as long as you are patient and have time to devote in the beginning to keeping it cleaned up. My issues with it came from being inpatient and having a less than intelligent cat. Let me explain: I started this system about 6 weeks before I went on vacation. I was attempting to make it easier for the house sitter while I was gone. I moved through the phases too quickly for my one cat. ALWAYS MOVE AT THE PACE OF THE SLOWEST CAT! My one very intelligent little boy had the system mastered and was ready to use the toilet after the 6 weeks. I saw him numerous times actually using the toilet successfully and caught him once in my bathroom using my toilet. Yes, it does work.However, his brother wasn't blessed with the same intelligence and was struggling on even the first stage of the system. He is my ragdoll mix and apparently potty training him is like potty training a real boy. He knows he is supposed to go into the tray, he gets into position, then pees over the edge on to the floor... I can't fault him, he is "sitting" in the litter box and he looks so proud of himself when he's done... I have had to go back to the first stage twice now to try and get my slow boy to figure it out. I have tried the tips and tricks given in the instructions - sprinkled catnip around the seat - he just sat in the box and played with the catnip... I tried giving him treats whenever he was in the potty - but then he started to just sit in the potty and run to me for treats without doing anything...The other boy is obviously frustrated with this whole starting over again bit, hence why he used my bathroom (so proud of him). I have faith that this will eventually work, it really does just require a lot of patience and time dedication in the beginning.So, I am now on to phase 2 (red insert on top of the toilet) for the second time. It's been 2 days since moving to this phase and so far, no accidents from the special boy. I think the key to phase 1 and 2 is to keep the inserts super clean and ready at all times. I have to clean it before I go to work, when I get home, and again before bed. I am hoping he starts to get the hang of it, because he this is frustrating for both myself and his brother. . .UPDATE:We have successfully moved to the orange stage with no major accidents. I witnessed my slow kitty using the system correctly today. I made a few adjustments to help aide him in the process. First, I placed a step stool next to the toilet for him to use until he is more comfortable jumping up there - I am not sure why that would be an issue since he clearly has no problem stretching himself out tall enough to open doors and jump on countertops, but I was willing to try anything to help. Second, I also started only putting litter in the upper half of the tray, to try and encourage him to aim more towards the back instead of the front. This seems to have helped the most. I hope the progress continues.Update 2:Successful transition to the green insert about 2 weeks ago. My two cats have had no accidents and I'm about ready to remove the green insert. My boys are toilet trained!!!

Review: We have an oval toilet. I had purchased another brand that was cheaper. Don't bother with the cheaper version. It's not worth it! believe me. I had purchased the cheaper version and even though it did fit the toilet somewhat it was not snug and was flimsy. When the cat would jump up there it would wobble. He was using it for a bit but then he got spooked because of the wobble and wouldn't use it anymore. I just purchased the Litter Twitter and I love it! it has fasteners on the underside that snug it up to any size toilet seat (see pics). It is a lot more sturdy than the other one. I am looking forward to getting my cat toilet trained with it. I will update later.

Review: Here is Onni's first encounter with the product, a few hours after it arrived. As you can see, he was curious but worried about whether it was safe to jump up. I picked him up and put him on the seat, and he almost instantly went into a squat and pee'd in the middle. After 48 hours he's peeing confidently on his own, but needs more encouragement to poop - I have to lift him up a couple of times before he feels happy doing it.Notes about Onni:- He is 11 months old and very easy to train - he likes being around me and copying me and is always curious.- Before the system arrived he had a litter tray next to the toilet, so he was already comfortable using this room. I transfered litter from his tray into the product so that he would easily recognise it.- I immediately pick up his waste and throw it in the bin, even before he is done "scratching". This is to show him it works well.- When he uses it I call him "a good boy!" and give him his favourite treat as reward.So far, not one accident and very little mess. When I need to use the toilet I just lift out the central tray and put the nirmal toilet seat down on top of the white one.I'm excited for the next stage, when I can use flushable litter and get rid of the waste bin, and I'm sure Onni will adapt well to it, but for now he needs more time to get used to this stage 🙂
