But it wasn't long before Xena started finding alternatives No sooner had my brother brought the little, black, furball kitten home, did my family get attached to her. And when my mom came home one day from Wal-mart with a clear sphere-shaped piece of plastic and proceeded to insert it between the seat and the rim of the toilet in the guest bathroom, I wasn't too surprised. It was weird I admit, but not out of character for mom. Then she sprinkled cat litter over the plastic, so that Xena would be attracted to the toilet, she explained. to the toilet, like a big potted house plant in the dining room and a large tin can of bird seed sitting near the back door. Needless to say, Xena's not a toilet-trained feline. But don't give up hope, check out James Foley's article (page 20), where he narrates a success story of a couple of college students who toilet-trained their cat. He'll also tell you where to get the supplies and how to do it. It really is possible to toilet-train a cat. And when your cat has mastered that, I guess all that's left is training it to flush.
