Training cats is actually rather easy. It's
commonly thought to be
difficult or impossible because most people try to train them using
the same methods they use to train dogs...which fail miserably.
Ok, I give up -- how do you train a cat? :)

I've only had one cat (I prefer dogs, as it turns out.) but that one was
completely toilet trained by the time she was 9 months old, which was the last
time I saw her. We used one of those then-popular toilet training kits and it
seems to have worked as advertised. That certainly dispells the myth that cats
are totally untrainable.

When I was growing up we had a cat that learned to use the toilet on its own.
It couldn't flush, though.
