2:05road and buy a cat toilet training kit
2:07like the litter quitter or the city

2:16plastic liner or kitchen plastic wrap
2:18and an aluminum roasting pan of an
2:21appropriate size if you're brave enough
2:23to create your own training tray the
2:25process is fairly simple and here's a
2:28pro tip you should ideally know how to
2:30create a training tray before

3:23lunch it's actually just going to turn
3:25into a fun game you can use stacks of
3:28newspaper cardboard or old magazines to
3:30raise the litter box by three inches
3:32each day until it's on the level of the

4:24scoop cat poop and litter out of your
4:26toilet if you're using a potty training
4:28set use the smallest training pan or the
4:31training pan with no hole in it if
4:33you're using an aluminum tray simply put
4:36the tray in place and fill it with
4:38flushable litter do not cut any holes
4:41into the tray yet number six gradually
4:44increase the size of the hole give your
4:46cat a few days to get used to defecating
4:48in the first training tray once it does
4:51so confidently and accident free it's
4:54time to start making the transition
4:56if you're using a training set gradually
4:59transition into seats with bigger holes
5:01training seats will have small holes in
5:03them that get larger as your cat moves
5:06through its training if you're using an
5:08aluminum training pan use a screwdriver
5:10or a cutter to cut a hole in the bottom
5:13of the pan make the hole slightly bigger
5:15gradually as your cat gets comfortable
5:18also keep decreasing the amount of
