Cat's Toilet Training Tips

There are some inside tips from cat toilet training experts

Training Tips

  • Transition your cat to flushable litter before beginning the training
  • Plan to begin toilet training your cat when you don’t have any travel plans scheduled in the immediate future.
  • Tape your toilet lid up so friends and family members don’t put it down by during training
  • Place a ‘Toilet Training in Progress’ sign on your bathroom door or mirror to remind guests that you are in the process of toilet training your cat.
  • Close doors to extra rooms in your home during training and limit your cats access to just a few areas.
  • If your cat needs some more grip on the toilet seat consider getting a padded or wooden toilet seat.
  • If your cat ever begins scratching your toilet paper consider keeping it in your bathroom cabinet for the remainder of the training.
  • Store your training litter in a location your cat does not have access to.
  • Place a small trash can in the bathroom during training so you can keep the training area as clean as possible.


Accident Prevention Tips

  • Remove any bath mats you currently have in the bathroom. This will eliminate any temptation your cat may have to have an accident there.
  • Fill your bathtub and bathroom sink with a small amount of water during the training. A ½” will do. This will prevent your cat thinking these are great places to go the bathroom.
  • Cover the soil in potted plants with tinfoil or remove them from your home during training. You don't want your cat to think this is a place to go.
  • By nature cats don't drink a lot of water. If your cat has hard time going #2 on the toilet consider introducing wet food into their diet.
  • Regulate your cats bathroom habits by placing them on a feeding schedule. Adjust the time you feed your cat so that they are more likely to go the bathroom while you are home. This way you can be around to encourage your cat to use the toilet.
  • If your cat begins to show resistance or nervousness while using the toilet slow down the pace of the training and make each new change a very small one.

Russian Blue

Russian Blue

The Russian Blue is a type or breed of cat. It has a lean medium-sized body and a short, plush, blue-grey coat. The colour is a bluish-grey that is the dilute expression of the black gene. The coat is unique to the breed as it is a double coat, with the undercoat being soft and downy, and the longer guard hairs an even blue with silver tips. The tips give the coat a shimmering appearance. Its eyes are almost always a dark and vivid green. Unique characteristics include yellow eyes, white patches on the underside and dark banding on the tail. These cats are highly intelligent and playful but tend to be timid around strangers. They also develop close bonds with their human companions.

Unlike so many modern cat breeds, the Russian Blue is a naturally occurring breed which is believed to have originated in the port of Arkhangelsk, Russia, although the evidence for this is purely anecdotal. They are also sometimes called Archangel Blues.[1] During and following World War II, due to a lack of numbers of Russian Blues, some people started cross breeding it with the Siamese. The Siamese traits have now been largely bred out. The majority of their modern breeding program has been carried out in America

Although they have been used on a limited basis to create other breeds (such as the Havana Brown) or add type to a breed in creation (the Nebelung), Russian Blues themselves are short-haired, blue-grey cats.

Russian Blues should not be confused with British Blues (which are not a distinct breed but rather a British Shorthair with a blue coat), nor the Chartreux or Korat which are two other naturally occurring breeds of blue cats, although they have astoundingly similar traits.

During the early 1970s, Mavis Jones a woman who breeds Russian Blue in Australia, mated a domestic white cat with a Russian Blue with the intent to create a solid white Russian Blue (called the Russian White). By the late 1970s, the Russian White and Russian Black colors were accepted by cat fanciers in Australia as Russian cats. These hybridized colors are accepted in a few other registries and only on a limited basis
