Glad you asked. My cats are learning right now. I bought a book, called "How to toilet train your cat". It has to do with a 21 day process. Take everything slowly.

Is your kitty completly litter trained? He needs to be inorder to toilet train.

yes, he is, in fact if you leave him in a room overnight or something without a litter box he refuses to g oto the bathroom on the floor, he'll hold it and then run to the box as soon as you let him out
