A Cat Can Look at a King…
…but I don't want 'em sittin' on the throne
I thought this idea had been flushed. Some fe-lyin' thought it was clever (which should be a warnin' about what fe-lyings consider clever) years ago. Silly Human Female thought she'd train Evil Monster Fe-lyin' Dandylion to use somethin' similar (which was a warnin' about Silly Human Female that went unheeded) with the predictable response from Alpha Human Mom. I, of course, was too young and dumb to stay out of it and learned the hard way.
'Course now that someone's tryin' to push the idea in environmental, save-the-birds-and-bees terms, it might catch on. Some of you humans will fall in the litter pan for anything.
Now think about this for a minute. You're sharin' your most private area with a fe-lyin'! Sad fact of life is we canines and felyings sometimes run afoul of a flea or two, not to mention fe-lyings have the habit of killin' and eatin' certain rodent intruders. Both situations can give ya' parisites. (Use your imagination, people.) Do ya' really wanna' sit down for a long read after the cat's been there? Do ya' wanna' risk directin' a visitor to the powder room only to have 'em interrupt Fluffy or Tiger doin' their business? And we haven't even scratched the surface of the "cats can't flush" grossness.
Spare me…

Plastic potty helps pussy pee
"Cats can be trained to take themselves to the bathroom and use the toilet like humans, says the inventor of a pussy potty…
"[Jo] Lapidge says the idea isn't as silly as it sounds. She says as well as eliminating the need for kitty litter in the house, it means the cat can stay indoors, which protects native wildlife.
"Lapidge isn't the first to come up with the idea but her innovative design has won her a place in the Fresh Innovators initiative, a campaign to highlight the work of emerging Australian inventors…
"Theoretically, many animals, including dogs and rabbits, can be trained to use the toilet, but there are physical limitations," [Dr Kersti Seksel, an Australian registered veterinary specialist in animal behaviour says] "The average great dane isn't going to balance on a toilet seat," she says.
