WHY TRAIN YOUR CAT TO USE THE TOILET?
The LITTER KWITTER®Cat Toilet Training System is a training device
that helps you train your cat to use the household toilet. There are many
advantages to this:
1. Domesticated cats need a toilet - usually a litter tray or the
great outdoors. Many cats use both during the day. The
former can be a hazardous place for cats and the latter is a
nuisance: it’s full of germs, it stinks, it’s a mess and cleaning it is a
twice-a-day hassle;
2. Cats use the litter tray then walk through your home on pillows,
kitchen surfaces and laps tracking whatever is on their paws with
them. When cats use the toilet they only step on a clean toilet seat.
They don’t touch their waste & they don’t track nasties around the
home - that’s cleaner;
3. The household toilet is designed to take bodily waste away from
the home where it can be treated appropriately, therefore it is more
hygienic than a plastic tray full of cat faeces festering in a room
somewhere in your home;
4. If you raise an indoor cat the #1 reason why you might be tempted
to let them outside is to avoid the litter tray. When cats can use the
toilet this becomes a non-issue; you don’t even have to think about
it, let alone deal with it.

Before you start there are a few preparations that you must make:
1. Remove all other litter trays in the house. Like most creatures your
cat will default to the familiar if given the choice - so their only
choice must be the LITTER KWITTER®
2. Keep the LITTER KWITTER®scrupulously clean at all times.
Make sure that the training disc is never soiled when they need
to use it. This is important for litter trays but especially for the
LITTER KWITTER®as your cat needs a series of positive
experiences with the device to make it easier for them to learn.
3. Clean the LITTER KWITTER®with non ammonia based cleaners.
Ammonia is present in a cat’s urine and the smell can confuse them
into thinking that it’s not clean.
Please note:
We recommend using ushable litter, recycled paper litter or other
similar non-clay litters during training if available to minimise the risk of
plumbing blockages. Please avoid using clumping litter.
We recommend using an enzymatic cleaner such as CSI URINE®when
cleaning cat urine or waste from hard surfaces in the bathroom. Other
cleaners may leave invisible residue which can be detected by cats!

PREPARATION

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before you begin the training there are three points you must
understand to make the LITTER KWITTER®work best for you and
your cat:
1. Make sure that your cat is mature enough before he or she starts
the training. I recommend they be at least 3 months old - or at least
large enough to be steady on their feet so that they can balance
well on a toilet seat.
2. Make sure your cat is litter-trained. This is important as we
will be using their ability to use a litter tray and modifying it to
teach them to use the LITTER KWITTER®and then the toilet.
If your cat is not litter trained don’t worry - it’s fairly simple
to do and can be done with the LITTER KWITTER®so
you won’t need a separate litter tray. If you have more than
one cat it’s important that you train them to share only
one litter tray so that they get used to sharing a toilet.
At the end of this book there is a website address which you can
visit to show you how to litter train your cat really easily.
3. Lastly - and perhaps the most important tip of all - please
be patient with your cat and do keep a sense of humour.
You’ll be embarking on a journey together to make
your home cleaner and safer for everyone in it.
Any healthy cat can learn to use the toilet. The key to
success is for you both to progress at the right pace
and to understand what’s happening at each stage.
You’ll be modifying your cat’s behavior and you may feel at times
that they are modifying yours too. It’s a journey well worth making
for the sake of the environment, the hygiene in your home and the
extra free time you’ll have without the hassle of the litter tray.
Good luck and please let me know
about your successes via our website:

Congratulations on your purchase of
LITTER KWITTER®
Cat Toilet Training System
With today’s way of life in crowded suburbs - in apartments or in areas
blessed with a variety of native wildlife - it’s becoming increasingly
important to keep our cats indoors - especially during the night time
when cats can get into all sorts of trouble.
Many pet welfare agencies such as the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) recommend that we raise
indoor cats to protect both native wildlife and the health and safety of
our cats. Anyone who has seen a cat crossing a busy road, a ravaged
squirrel or bird; or lay awake at night listening to a local cat fight - and
had to pay a vet bill to fix the damage - will empathise with this.
Keeping your cat indoors means dealing with a filthy litter tray - with
the dirt being trodden on in the tray and then spread around the
house. It’s not something many people are aware of, but when you
think about it, it’s not very pleasant.
With the LITTER KWITTER®Cat Toilet Training System you and your
cat can enjoy the benefits of a litter-free household: no more mess, no
more germs, no more smells, no more hassle.
Say goodbye to the litter tray forever!
INTRODUCTION
LITTER KWITTER®
THE ORIGINA L AWARD-WINNING
3-STEP CAT TOILET TRAINING SYSTEM

During the Amber Stage of the LITTER KWITTER®training your cat
will modify two more important behaviours:
XThey will learn to position themselves over a hole
through to the toilet pan and water below;
XThey will learn to balance with their paws on the seat.
1. Replace the Red Training Disc with the Amber Training Disc. Put 3 -
4 cups of litter in the Amber Disc to just below the inner ridge. The
inner ridge will help stop litter falling into the toilet pan.
2. Show your cat the Amber Training Disc and put them on
it like before. Show them the hole and place your cat on
the tray so that their front paws are on the seat area of the
LITTER KWITTER®and their back paws are either side of the
hole.
3. Your cat will be curious about the hole and will probably peer
through it to see what’s below. This should be encouraged as it will
help them see the water and aim for the hole.
4. Going though the hole will be hit and miss - sometimes they’ll do
it, sometimes they won’t. Your cat is likely to find it easier to urinate
through the hole than defecate at first. Don’t worry about this -
the main thing they’re learning at this stage is confidence and the
correct position.
5. When they squat to use the toilet your cat will
instinctively move its back paws towards its
front paws to gain balance. They’ll probably
keep their back paws in the litter at first but
this will change over time to placing them either
side of their front paws on the seat.
Once your cat is regularly placing both front
paws and at least one of its rear paws on the seat
and squatting approximately over the hole; this is your cue to move
onto the Green Stage. Make sure your cat is doing this regularly and
comfortably before moving on. If you rush them before they’re ready
they’ll object. Spend a minimum 2 -4 weeks at this stage.
THE AMBER STAGE
- STEADY! -

6. Getting your cat to hop up onto the toilet is easier than it sounds.
7. Raise the lid and seat on the toilet.
8. Slip the LITTER KWITTER®on top of the porcelain bowl and
push down to fit securely. The LITTER KWITTER®is designed
for all standard toilet bowls and has adjustable clips to ensure a
snug fit. Remove and replace the clips as required to ensure the
LITTER KWITTER®fits securely without any movement. The
device must feel solid to give your cat the confidence to proceed.
9. Insert the red training disc if it isn’t already in place and fill with litter
as before.
10.Show your cat where the LITTER KWITTER®is. Put them on it so
that they understand that it’s moved. Again, try
to be there when they first go looking for it to
make sure they know where it is.
11. Your cat should have no trouble hopping
up onto the toilet bowl as cats are naturally
nimble creatures. However, if your cat is still
young or unusually small you can place a
small step (made from books, for example)
next to the toilet to help them jump up.
You’ll be surprised just how quickly they get the hang of
this! Give them at least two weeks to get used to their new
toilet being up in the air. Once they are doing this as though
it were second nature, it’s time to move onto the Amber Stage.
Make sure you don’t rush your cat through this Red Stage. It’s
important that they do this as a habit to maximise success in the
following stages.
During the Red Stage of the LITTER KWITTER®training, your cat will
modify two important behaviours:
XWhenever they need to do their business they’ll
learn to go into the room where the toilet is.
XThey’ll learn to hop up onto the toilet to do it.
1. Place the LITTER KWITTER®on the floor next to the toilet. Insert
the red training disc and fill with 4-5 cups of litter.
2. Show your cat the LITTER KWITTER®put them into it so they can
feel that it’s got litter in it like their regular tray. Try to do this around
the times that they usually go to the toilet. Pretty soon they’ll get
the idea.
3. Make sure the door to the bathroom is always
left open so your cat can get in. If they can’t get
in they’ll have to go somewhere else!
4. Keep showing them where the tray is for a few
days. It should only take your cat 2-3 days to get
used to this and then they’ll regularly go to this
room to use the LITTER KWITTER®.
5. At night, keep your cat in this bathroom to help
them become adjusted to using their tray there. After a few days
you can move onto the second part of the red stage - getting your
cat to hop up onto the toilet!

TIPS & TRICKS
litterkwitter.com
1. Knowing why your cat buries it’s waste helps understand
how the LITTER KWITTER®works. Many people think cats
bury their waste because they’re naturally clean, but what
they’re really doing is hiding the smell to deter predators.
The key idea behind the LITTER KWITTER®is to give your cat the
same satisfaction of hiding the smell - but without needing to bury it
in the litter tray. The toilet takes the odour away better than the litter
tray so your cat will be satisfied.
2. Showing your cat what’s expected of them and physically putting
them and their paws in place is the best way to learn. Allowing them
to make mistakes makes them more anxious.
3. Cats and water usually don’t mix well. Cats don’t like to get wet! The
water in the toilet could frighten your cat and make training harder.
It’s better if they can experience the sounds and sensations of the
toilet whilst feeling safe (i.e. with you there to make them feel safe).
4. Never punish your cat if they go elsewhere in the house. They won’t
link the punishment to the crime, and will become anxious and may
avoid you. Instead, reward them when they do something right.
Use encouraging words like “good boy or girl!” or “well done!” and
give them a tasty treat for special achievements. Rewards work
much better than punishments.
5. Schedule big changes for when you’ll be around to supervise (eg
weekends), like when moving from Red to Amber. This is particularly
important if your cat is resisting any of the changes - you can’t allow
any bad behaviours to stick.
6. Keep your bedroom doors closed when you make disc changes until
your cat is comfortable. Cats can object by going to the toilet in their
owner’s bedrooms. Bedrooms smell of their owners and this makes
the cat feel secure. It’s not an act of rebellion to annoy you - even if
it seems that way!
7. Stay positive. Your cat may have accidents sometimes. This doesn’t
mean they can’t be trained. It means they might not be completely
comfortable with the stage they are at. Stay longer at this stage until
your cat is comfortable or even go back a stage to make sure you
haven’t rushed them before they were ready.
5. You’ll be surprised how quickly your cat will get used to the larger
hole. The previous two training discs and the time taken getting to
this point have established the toilet as their place to go so they
want to succeed as much as you want them to.
6. When your cat is using the Green Training Disc comfortably start
reducing the amount of litter to a trickle and experiment from time
to time with none. Let your cat dictate the pace of the reduction
but keep pushing to reduce their need for it to be there. You’ll
notice they will continue to use a scratching motion with their paw
as though trying to cover something up. Many cats do this after
eating too - it’s simply a reflex that makes your cat feel better about
things. It doesn’t mean they need to have litter present.
7. You may notice that some of your cat’s waste lands on the Green
Disc. This is a good thing, it means that they are squatting correctly
on the seat and it is a cue that it’s time to move onto the final step.
8. When your cat is going through the green disc without any
problems and without litter in the green disc, place the regular toilet
seat down on top of the LITTER KWITTER®for a couple of days
so that your cat gets used to the feel of your toilet seat. If your
toilet seat doesn’t sit firmly on top of the LITTER KWITTER®you
can omit this step and simply remove the LITTER KWITTER®from
your toilet. In either case your cat will now be able to use the toilet
just like everyone else in your home.
Congratulations!
Your cat is now toilet trained.

SAY GOODBYE TO THE LITTER TRAY
FOREVER!
By the end of the Green Stage of the LITTER KWITTER®training
your cat will be able to use the toilet just like everyone else in the
home. During this stage they’ll modify their behaviour in three key
ways:
XThey’ll learn to balance entirely on the
rim of the LITTER KWITTER®
XThey’ll urinate and defecate through a hole in the Green
training disc into the toilet pan on the majority of occasions.
XThey’ll be happy with a small scattering of litter
reducing to none at all in the nal days.
1. Replace the Amber Training Disc with the Green Training Disc.
Scatter half a cup of litter on the outer edge of the Green Disc up
to the ridge.
2. Show your cat the Green training disc and put them on it like before.
Showthem the hole and place them on the device so that their front
and rear paws are on the seat area of the LITTER KWITTER®.
Their rear paws may still stray onto the edge of the green disc.
3. Your cat will notice the hole is larger and will
probably spend some time looking into it with
their head through the hole. This is perfectly
normal with curious cats. They’ll be intrigued
by the water and may even drink from it.
The water in a just-flushed toilet pan is simply
tap water so don’t be too concerned. They drink
far worse in the great outdoors!
4. Let your cat experiment at this stage so they become
confident. Let them gain their balance by investigating
the LITTER KWITTER®and try to catch them when they
are trying to go to make sure they understand what to do.
Don’t be afraid to help your cat get their paws in the right place.
They’ll learn quickly and when they have done it once it’ll get easier
on each further occasion.
