I once saw a cat that had been trained to use the toilet.  Training the cat to
do it was interesting because they really like to go in the litter box.  The
cat's person placed some kind of stretchy cellophane over the toilet bowl (lid
up) and poured some clean litter into the center.  The cat would do its business
standing on the edge of the bowl.  How she got the cat to start is anybody's
guess.  After a while the woman added less and less litter and left a greater
and greater depression in the plastic.  Eventually she did away with the
cellophane and litter and the cat would simply drop it's waste into the toilet.
