I had a cat that used the toilet.
They can't flush though. They don't have thumbs.
You could say they aren't exactly flush with thumbs...
Are you using a Victorian era pull chain tank?
They probably control it with their smartphone app. The cat can't unlock the phone (the cat isn't a hacker and doesn't think digital watches are neat)
Lol
I hear cats like eating food and pooping, which is something humans also do
Cats can learn tricks, words and gestures. They also really like strict routines.
