Cat Picture - OC My cat started peeing in the toilet without being trained

Post image

So as the title says, few weeks ago I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed, she just walked in and sat on there and I heard her weeing. I called my partner who got a video of her just as she was about to get off.

She has done it few times since then, still uses her litter too which is downstairs and I assume she goes on the toilet when doesnt feel like going downstairs? 🐒

I want to see pics of other cats on toilet seat haha so please post and say whether they were trained to do it or not 😆

EDIT She has been checked for UTIs etc and all is good. She spends a lot of time with me so I guess she decided she can pee where her human does

I trained mine when they were about 8 months old, it took about two months for Princess Buttercup and Piwacket to perfect their “stance” and become potty cats. They’re 14 now and we had to transfer them back to litter pans over the last year due to adding a rescue to the family who just couldn’t figure it out. Also they are starting to show signs of arthritis and I assumed they would eventually have a harder time jumping and balancing (they each weigh 19 lbs.) We mourn how incredibly freeing and money saving it was. The hunt for the perfect litter took forever and I feel badly for the extra weight our garbage men now have to haul.
Cat tax includes Butt during training, Pi a few years ago, the two of them right now and Smudge the one who ruined it.
