Can you train your cat to actually use your toilet? Can you not have to deal with litter boxes any more? Well for many people the answers to these questions are yes．

You may have heard that some people have managed to train their cats to use the human toilet, Well this is correct．One advantage to this is the fact that you no longer have to lug heavy bags of litter home from the supermarket, or worry about cleaning out the dirty litter everyday．

Like any other cat training program, training your cat to use the toilet takes times and patience, you just can put your cat on the toilet and hope that they can use it．

By slowly shaping your cat’s behavior over a couple of weeks, you too can end lugging heavy bags of cat litter home from the supermarket．First, start by slowly moving the litter box closer and closer to the toilet each day, so your cat gets used to being in the bathroom and being around the toilet．

Next, when you have had to litter box next to the toilet for several days, slowly raise the litter box higher and higher each day until it is at the level of the toilet．Then find an insert for the top of the toilet, like a shallow pan that can sit in the rim of the toilet and hold litter．

Once your cat gets used to using this litter pan on top of the toilet for a week or so, try removing the pan and your cat should be able to use the toilet．

Like any cat training program, it takes time and effort on the part of the cat owner to do this．Don’t get frustrated with your cat if she is not learning as fast as you would like, many cats learn at their own pace．With a little effort you too can have a toilet trained cat．

   One late night, he felt bad and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back to the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him three hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As they grew up, they would have their share of problems. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live his own life, which made him heart-broken.

   A similar misfortune befell a girl. One night her mother, who suffered from mental illness,  disappeared. Her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for them, only to overturn the lamp on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.

   Though her elder sister, who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to look after her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard and learned to be independent. She wrote in her composition: “Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I’m lucky.”

   One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brother’s arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.
