There have long been books on teaching your cat to use the toilet instead of the litter box. The training involves saran wrap across the top at first, as I recall. Be sure to remove it before the wife gets home, is my advice.

I don't have a cat, but why would your wife care about saran wrap over the litter box? Wouldn't that piss the cat off more than anyone?

the Saran wrap goes across the toilet. Then you put litter on the Saran wrap. You then phase out the litter, and eventually phase out the saran wrap.

Wouldn't the cat fall in the toilet?

I don't remember the details, but the cat winds up perched on the seat. No doubt somewhere there is a website now with illustrated directions for all the steps involved.

C'mon, haven't you seen "Meet the Parents"? Mr. Jinx the cat does it perfectly.
