A cat-lover has amazed animal experts by teaching his pet moggie Salem to use a human toilet.29-year-old Luke Evans became fed-up with the puss using a smelly litter tray in his second floor flat.
So he trained nine-month-old Salem to go to the toilet in his bathroom by offering cheese-flavoured treats as a reward.The talented cat can also shake paws and roll over - and is currently being taught to fetch.
Luke, who lives with his partner in Solihull, West Midlands, said: "A lot of the time we don't even realise that he's been to the loo."Sometimes we hear him scratching at the seat but it's only when we step into the bathroom and see the evidence in the toilet that we know for sure.
"It took a couple of months for him to pick it up - we used a child's toilet training seat at first
Their local veterinary practice was so impressed with Salem's tricks that it crowned the marvellous moggy a cat in a million.
