HI there…toilet training a cat is possible and I’ve trained both my house cats as well as many clients kitties to use the human toilet. However, it takes a lot of time and patience, therefore someone must be there nearly 24/7 in the beginning and when the litter box is removed during the training process. On average cats who are toilet trained take anywhere between 3 months to 1.5 years depending on age, individual temperament and the techniques used. No one technique works for all cats so people have to experiment to see works best. The City Kitty is fine for very young kittens because the tray is very flimsy and heavier cats tend to find it discomforting so the Litter Kwitter http://www.litterkwitter.com/en/index.ph… system may be more helpful in this case or a crafty home kit. Here’s a fun video of a cat using the Litter Kwitter system: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=…
Some cats who are toilet trained will have accidents around the home because during the training process you have to remove the litter box entirely, which is why it’s important to be home full time during this stage of training as well.

To train your cat to use the toilet you should go here: http://cats.picturesarehere.com/toiletca…
This is the best book I found to get my cat to use the toilet. She explains 8 different ways to train cats to use the toilet and then tells you how to choose the best method for your cat.
A lot depends on your cat’s age, personality and breed and her book tells you the right way to train your cat based on these things.
Have fun,
Julee

It’s a very long, slow, step by step process, here’s the basics (see the link for more):
moving the litterbox next to the toilet
raising it to the height of the toilet
placing a metal or other bowl inside the toilet bowl with litter in it
teaching the cat the proper way to sit on the seat
slowly reducing the amount of litter in the bowl
slowly adding water to the bowl
finally removing that bowl
