How NASA transmitted an HD video of a cat from 31 million km away

My cat is toilet-trained. I once taught him to flush, but he could not associate the act of using the toilet with flushing afterwards and ended up flushing just for entertainment. I had to remove the toilet handle until he forgot how to flush. I've given this automatic toilet flushing project a lot of thought but never considered a laser. I'm not sure how that could work, actually. If you will be relying on the beam being broken, you can forget about that method. If you have questions for someone that has successfully toilet trained a cat, feel free to ask. I can probably provide some insight.

I won't be breaking a laser beam to flush the toilet. I won't reveal how I'm doing it yet, as that would spoil it. As for toilet training my cat, I'm going to try my own method that I have come up with. I watched a lot of videos on how others were doing it and noticed that you had a 50% chance of it failing. The biggest issue I noticed is that most cats don't squat with their back and front legs very close together.. This is unnatural for cats and while some may master it, a lot won't. Instead I've modified the toilet seat to let them sit more like they would when they sit in the litter box.I'm sure I'll get it figured out. Thanks for your offer.

@@JohannRosenbergGood luck with the laser thing. You'll need it. You're correct about requiring slight modifications on the toilet seat in order to prevent the cat from slipping and getting spooked. I would tell you exactly what's required, but that would spoil it.

No lasers or toilet bowls in nature. Can't smell or catch a laser and can't bury their 💩 on a bowl. 😁 Cool high tech tricks for a hobby, but I'll stick to a free willow branch and my personal interaction, enjoyment & bonding time with them. I've learned to appreciate everything tactile after C19 claimed a bit of my left hand's nerves. ✌😛 Good luck with improving your custom laser! 🍻 What are your cats' names?

Their names are Chewy and Meiya. If you want to see real "bonding" beyond playing with them, make sure to watch the video I posted after this one, where Chewy takes me on a journey through a forest to find a dead body. lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6fQo61nirWbi7s
