The Litter Kwitter is the Original World Famous Cat Toilet Training System, made famous by Doogie, the first Litter Kwitter graduate. Doogie’s mom Jo invented the Litter Kwitter so that Doogie could use a regular toilet instead of a yucky, smelly, messy litter tray – a cat should have some dignity, after all !
What does the Litter Kwitter do?
- Litter Kwitter will gradually teach nearly any cat to perch on the toilet seat to do their business directly into the bowl. All the parents have to do, then, is flush and Voila! No mess, no smell, no yucky clean up required.

How does the Litter Kwitter work?
- It is ingenious! Litter Kwitter starts next to the toilet with a seat device and a red plastic disk full of litter so your cat knows what it is & where to go to use it. Then you put it on the porcelain rim of the toilet, so your cat learns to hop up. Once your cat gets the idea that the toilet is where the action is, you can move to the amber disk. It has a hole in the middle and room for some litter around the edges so that your cat can use it but also starts to learn how to perch on the edge of the seat itself. It doesn’t usually take too long to get the hang of this so then it’s time to use the green disk. It has a bigger hole so that your cat can balance on the seat and go, knowing that everything will end up in the toilet. Brilliant !!!

What do I actually get in the box when I buy Litter Kwitter?
- Litter Kwitter comes with a universal base plate (a special kind of toilet seat that fits all standard toilets), the three training disks (red, amber and green), a comprehensive instruction booklet plus a 30-minute DVD with step-by-step training directions you can see. It comes with subtitles in English, Japanese, French, German and Dutch

What is the Litter Kwitter made from? Can it hold the weight of a big cat?
- The Litter kwitter is made from the same material as a Firefighter’s Hard Hat - it’s about as hard and stiff as plastic can get. It wont bend, flex, crack, split or move no matter how large your cat is. If you had a lion at home then it would have no problems using the Litter Kwitter - it’s really THAT strong!
When a cat jumps up on the Litter Kwitter, it lands with the weight of a cat more than 3 timesits weight. How can this be? It’s something like when you jump up and down. If you weigh 100lbs and you jump up 6 inches in the air you will land with the weight of 300lbs because you will be travelling downwards due to gravity.
So, if you have a large cat that weighs 20-25lbs (10kg) the Litter Kwitter needs to cope with 60-75lbs (30kg) in weight to support the cat jumping onto it. Fortunately, the Litter Kwitter copes easily with this.
Some other products are made from the same plastic as disposable coffee cups and might not cope so well... | I have more than one cat. Will I be able to train them all ?
- The Litter Kwitter can train more than one cat at a time, but you don’t want to let it get too crowded up there. It’s best to use more than one Litter Kwitter if you’re blessed with many cats - you can use them on separate toilets or even place the Litter Kwitter on a tray of water or some similar container (like in the picture).

How long will it take to toilet train my cat using the Litter Kwitter?
- Most cats figure it out in about 8 weeks or so, as long as you are patient and understanding. If your cat is older (above 8 years) or not litter trained, though, it will probably take a bit longer. They have more bad habits to un-learn. The oldest successfully trained cat so far is Oscar who started when he was 12 years old! And that’s not to mention Lucky the 3-legged cat who overcame some obvious issues to become a Litter Kwitter graduate!

Come on, how can Litter Kwitter possibly train my kitty to use a human toilet?
- I know what you’re thinking - it’s just a gimmick, cats hate water, they’ll fall in. Oh ye of little faith. But it is hard to imagine, which is why there is a training DVD in every box so you can see what to do, how to do it, and what your cat should look like while they’re learning.
But it’s not magic - it’s science. You have to understand that when you cat buries waste in the litter what we’re trying to do is hide the smell of it from predators. In the wild, this behaviour was necessary for survival.
So, what the Litter Kwitter does is slowly modify the cat’s behaviour until he or she ’does their business’ into the toilet and discovers that the water in the toilet pan hides the smell much better than litter. And then the cat’s happy - and so is everyone else in the house! This is the understanding behind the science of the Litter Kwitter developed with PhD animal behaviorists.
What about cats hating water & falling in? Well, think about this - have you ever seen a cat walking on a roof, or along a narrow ledge somewhere? Ever seen one fall off? No, I didn’t think so. And cats like water if they’re drinking it... or going to the toilet in it... they just don’t like jumping in. And who’s asking them to? |
Okay, so maybe it works, but why would I want my cat to use the toilet?
- If you were smart like a cat you would just use your nose and immediately understand why – a litter box stinks! And that means Germs. And Mess. And therefore, hassle! Besides the aromatic advantages.

What are the advantages of having a toilet trained cat?
- You might as well ask "what is the advantage of a toilet trained human?". I know cats look different but their bodies work the same way as humans in the ’Yum to Yuk’ process: they eat (yum!), they get energy from digesting the food (to be able to claw the furniture & chase the balls of paper), and they deposit the waste (yuk!) Toilets are designed to deal with the waste better than any other device in the house (and definitely better than plastic trays on the floor in the laundry room).
Still not convinced? Think about this: cats use the litter tray, bury the waste (by treading in it) then tread around your home on benchtops, beds, laps and rugs. Yuk! A toilet trained cat treads on a clean toilet seat (it is clean, I hope!), deposits their waste in the water, then treads around your home with clean paws: no more mess, no more germs, no more smells, no more hassle. Enough said. |
How do I get started using Litter Kwitter?
- Read the directions and watch the step-by-step training DVD, silly. It’ll be the best 30 minutes you ever spent. Then make sure to take away all of the other litter trays from the house. Cats are smart (geniuses, in fact) but they are also creatures of habit so you need to make the Litter Kwitter is the only option around. Show your cat where it is and help them up onto the seat so that they know it is safe. Keep the Litter Kwitter disk really clean so it is always ready to go when they are, but don’t use an ammonia-based cleaner because that can make it smell like urine to a cat’s exceptionally sensitive nose.

What do you mean by “Ready, Steady, Go!” ?
- Ready, Steady, Go! is the amusing and easy to remember shorthand for the three Litter Kwitter training steps. The red disk gets your cat ready to use the toilet, the amber disk teaches your cat to be steady on the seat, and the green disk lets him or her go directly in the toilet.
