Chris,

Half flush usually is sufficient. Training them to flush is the hard part, they have trouble with the buttons. The old chain-pull is best, especially if you hang a fluffy toy from the chain. I don't think many are lost during training, mainly due to their problem with flushing. Some do get a bit damp though in the training process.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

Intriguing to say the least. Do they use half or full flush and do you lose
many during the training process!

Peter,

Who needs litter trays? Cats can be easily trained to use human toilets,
though you do have to leave the lid up.

Cheers,

No, please don't explain, Philip. I'd also suggest that there's no way that anywhere near 100% of the population is going to lock their cats up until
someone comes up with a way to avoid having to clean out litter trays.

I am amused by the suggestion, in one sentence no less: "not
mentioning desexing of all cats and having a license to
breed". I wonder, on basic biology grounds, how those two
processes fit together.............  I hope I don't need to explain.

Yes cats are a problem and I too would prefer we did not have
them. But birders writing to birders is not progressing the
issue much.

Interesting discussion

Regarding cats, responsible cat owners need to be keep their
cats inside at all times. This should be law in my opinion,
not mentioning desexing of all cats and having a license to
breed. This may sound harsh, but it's best for both the
native animals and the cats. Let me explain.

I am a vet working in an emergency centre and more than 95%
of cats we see are as a result of them being allowed outside.
They present being hit by car, being bitten by other
cats/dogs, with tick paralysis etc.

The effect on wildlife is self explanatory. On a sad note
most wildlife presenting with cat bites die despite treatment.
