  • Patent number: 7536733
    Abstract: A platform for training and aiding a pet to use a conventional toilet is attached to the rim of a toilet bowl and further provided with a holding means used for holding a tray containing a substance to attract and create a habit for the pet to come to that location. Instead of a tray, a specially designed unit containing cat litter or its equivalent can also be used for the same purpose. Over time, the holding means can be removed as the pet no longer needs to be <<baited>> to the location. In this manner, only the holding means and tray become useless, a far lesser investment.
    Type: Grant
