Lola the Nottingham cat uses downstairs loo like a human (but will she learn to flush afterwards?)

Who needs a litter tray! Copy cat Lola teaches herself to pees in the toilet (but will she learn to flush afterwards?)

  • Lola, a cat from Nottingham, can be seen in the video using the toilet
  • Her owner Ali Collison said that the cat taught herself to use the loo without help
  • She added that Lola meows every time she needs the bathroom door opened 


This is the moment that a clever cat shows its owners that it can use the toilet like a human – but stops short of flushing it.

The video posted on Facebook by Ali Collison, from Nottingham, shows her opening the bathroom door for her pet, Lola, asking if it wants to ‘go wee-wee’.

The cat then struts into the small bathroom and perches on the toilet and begins to pee.

The cat stares intently at the flush as though thinking about using it, but then turns towards the camera as her owner says: ‘She’s a clever girl,’ before hopping down from the toilet.

Ms Collison captioned the video with: ‘When you realise you’ve been wrongly accusing the boys of not flushing.

‘Clever little kitty.’ 

Ms Collison told commenters that Lola had taught herself to use the loo and now meows when the door to the bathroom is shut or the lid is down.

However, she also revealed that the cat’s toilet habits have also included pooing in the bathroom sink.

The clip has racked up over 1 million views on YouTube as well as more on Facebook.
