CitiKitty vs The Cat Throne: What Really Works

 

Introduction

If you’ve ever searched for ways to toilet train your cat, chances are you’ve come across CitiKitty. It’s one of the most widely marketed systems — thin plastic trays you balance on your toilet seat, gradually cutting a hole until your cat transitions to the toilet.

But here’s the problem: most cats never succeed. Owners report frustration, wasted money, and stressed-out pets. That’s because CitiKitty isn’t built with cats in mind.

By contrast, The Cat Throne is the first humane, permanent, and vet-approved cat toilet training system. It’s engineered for stability, comfort, and success — making it the only real alternative to litter boxes. Let’s compare the two systems head-to-head.

Build Quality and Stability

CitiKitty:
 CitiKitty relies on flimsy plastic inserts that sit loosely on top of your toilet seat. They wobble, bend, and even collapse under a cat’s weight. For a species that thrives on stability and routine, this instability creates instant mistrust. Many cats refuse to step on it, and those that do often regress back to the litter box after one bad slip.

The Cat Throne:
 The Cat Throne is built around a premium Bemis toilet seat, made in the USA, with patented clips that secure the Cat Throne seat in place. The seat itself has a non-slip texture and extra surface area, giving cats confidence and safety. The training trays are deep, sturdy, and snap firmly into the Cat Throne seat — no shifting, no wobbling.

 

“Cats need stability to feel safe. That’s why The Cat Throne was designed with no wobbling, slipping, or collapsing — ever.”

Humane Design and Cat Safety

CitiKitty:
 Cats are sensitive creatures. When trays bend or collapse, they not only lose trust but can also get hurt. CitiKitty doesn’t provide long-term support and isn’t approved by veterinarians. It’s designed as a temporary gimmick, not a permanent lifestyle solution.

The Cat Throne:
 From day one, The Cat Throne was designed as a humane system. The seat can remain on your toilet permanently, giving cats support at every stage of training and beyond. Kittens, seniors, and every cat in between can use it safely. That’s why it’s the only cat toilet training kit approved by veterinarians.

Training Success Rates

CitiKitty:
 Online reviews are littered (pun intended) with stories of failure. Cats refuse to step on it, pee on the floor, or revert to litter boxes because the trays are unstable. Owners often give up after weeks of frustration.

The Cat Throne:
 Cats succeed faster because the design mimics natural bathroom habits. Peeing is usually mastered quickly, and while pooping takes a little more patience, the stable design gives cats the confidence to follow through. The Cat Throne’s step-by-step guide and sturdy trays support the full journey — from curious kitten to confident, litter-free cat.

Eco-Friendly and Cost Savings

CitiKitty:
 Since most cats fail with CitiKitty, owners end up going back to litter. That means endless bags of clay or silica litter dumped into landfills, where it contributes to methane emissions and environmental harm.

The Cat Throne:
 By contrast, The Cat Throne is a one-time investment. Once training is complete, you’ll never need to buy litter again. That means less waste in landfills, fewer toxins in your home, and thousands of dollars saved over your cat’s lifetime. Even during training, the included flushable tofu litter keeps your plumbing safe and your home cleaner.

Long-Term Value

CitiKitty:
 CitiKitty is temporary plastic. No guarantee. No long-term solution. Once the trays crack or training fails, you’re back to square one.

The Cat Throne:
 The Cat Throne is built to last, with a lifetime guarantee. The premium seat can remain on your toilet indefinitely, providing extra support for senior cats or those who need more time. It’s not a gimmick — it’s a permanent, humane alternative to litter boxes.

Conclusion

When it comes to toilet training your cat, not all systems are created equal.

  • CitiKitty is cheap, flimsy, and often fails.

  • The Cat Throne is stable, humane, permanent, and approved by vets.

For cat parents who want a cleaner, greener, and healthier home, The Cat Throne isn’t just the better choice — it’s the only real choice.
