I've researched a couple of different Cat training systems available for purchase. I've listed them from favorite to least favorite.

The Litter Kwitter cat toilet training system has promised to train your cat to use the toilet in 8 weeks. The Litter Kwitter's website has very useful information on toilet training your cat.

2. CitiKitty
CitiKitty will cost you just under $30, and save you money on the cost of cat litter! CitiKitty toilet trains your cat with a special cat toilet seat that fits over your toilet bowel. It works by removing the perforated rings over a period of time. Eventually your cat is used to sitting make subtle adjustments so your cat doesn't have any accidents. After a couple days of having the litter bin near the toilet, prop it up on a couple of phone books. If you don't have phone books just use what ever is around your house to bring the litter bin up to the height of the toilet seat. After your cat gets used to the idea of doing its business at that height you can break out the cat toilet training kit.
Some helpful tips:
secure the toilet lid with tape to so it does not come crashing down on your cat!
keep it clean! Scoop twice a day so your cat doesn't start finding other places to do its business.
Have patience, especially in multiple cat households.
Award your cat with treats when it uses the toilet!
Speak to others online that have toilet trained their cats for inspiration. I found several videos on You-Tube that show cats using the toilet and offer advice on toilet training your cat. You are so close to never having to buy cat litter again! Just think of how good you will feel inviting your friends over for dinner without the rancid cat pee smell.
