I see this as a way to reduce the use of litter in the home, save the environment and make feline waste disposal more effective. Obviously, an outdoor cat would have no use for this training.
I did it with my former roommate, cookies and cream. The theory is: slowly move the litter to the toilet, let it sink into the litter, success! Failures (aka shit randomly on the ground) must be compensated for by operational negative reinforcement, especially by a water spray gun, and a return to the previous stage of the process until the cat is comfortable enough to continue. If you can not catch the cat immediately during the act, then bring them to the crash site, and hold their noses close to the shit, spray them with water and in a stern voice say "bad Kitty!". If you can catch them in flagrante delicto, then you might want to try to take the cat to the bathroom, because the urge to piss / poo will still be there.
Small plastic toilet litter box (look in the tupperware aisle at the grocery store for a perfect fit!)
