A pet owner has shared an astonishing video showcasing their cats working together to use the toilet and clean it, without any intervention from their human. This highlights a crucial aspect of pet ownership—training them to use a designated toilet area. While dogs typically use pee pads, cats require litter boxes.
The viral video features cats from Guangxi, China, who seem to be exceptionally trained. Not only do they accurately use a squat toilet, but they also assist one another during the process. One cat can be seen squatting on the toilet while another calms the situation by helping to lift its tail and flush the toilet.
In the footage, a black-and-white kitten is shown using the toilet, while a calico cat calls over a larger cat. When the larger cat's tail gets wet, the calico helps lift it to prevent any mess. The tuxedo cat in the video takes on the role of "flusher", skillfully jumping onto the tank to press the flush lever. Viewers were amazed that not only could this kitten use a human toilet, but that the entire family of cats understood teamwork in this task.
Comments flooded in from viewers expressing their disbelief and admiration:
- "The litter box cleaner doesn't need to scoop anymore; should they change their job?"
- "They even help lift tails!"
- "Imagine how much litter this saves!"
- "That flushing cat is a genius!"
- "What an impressive family of cats!"
- "Can you teach my cat?"
- "Please start a training class!"
Many cat owners chimed in, sharing that their cats also use toilets at home, suggesting that it is not as difficult as one might think. They recommended using a "cat toilet training device" for practice or allowing older cats to teach younger ones.
This remarkable video has sparked interest in cat training methods and has led many to consider whether they could teach their own pets similar skills.
