Stage 2
Lift the seat on your toilet and measure the inside diameter of the top of the bowl at its widest point. Here's the part where you actually have to spend some money. (If this is a problem, just think of all the money you will be saving after you no longer have to buy kitty litter!) Buy a metal mixing bowl of that diameter. Do not substitute a plastic bowl. A plastic bowl will not support the cat's weight and will bend, dropping into the toilet bowl and spilling litter everywhere, not to mention startling hell out of the cat.
Now you move the litter box over so that it's sitting directly over the toilet seat. Take away the stack of phone books or whatever. REST.
Here's the cool part. Take away the litter box entirely. Nestle the metal mixing bowl inside the toilet bowl and lower the seat. Fill the bowl with about two inches of litter. I have read some stories of people using plastic wrap instead of a bowl, but imagine the pain you have to deal with every time you have to go! Also imagine what would happen to your poor kitty if he decides to scratch at the litter or droppings! REST
During this rest period the whole process is likely to be something of an annoyance -- having to remove the bowl and return it once you are done; if you begin to think it's not worth it, just remember that you will never have to clean a litter box again.
