Amusing footage has emerged of a cat who uses human toilets to go to the loo.

In the video, filmed at the beginning of the month in Canada, the cat can be seen sitting on top of the toilet seat because, apparently, that's exactly what his owner's have trained him to do.

"If you're wondering how to train your kitten to do this, just place a laminated sheet (cardboard) under the seat, with some flushable litter," the filmer wrote online.

"Make a hole in the middle, and make it bigger every week. Eventually they get used to using the bowl."
