Has anyone heard of this type of litter box? Does it really work?

Apparently there is a design flaw:

Automatic cat poop cleaners
They don't work. We had the Littermaid Ultra or whatever it was (to fit our huge Ragamuffin cat). It worked well for a while but then became a pain in itself to clean and maintain. It finally wound up getting jammed all the time so we went back to scooping every day.
Is it really possible to train a cat to use the toilet?

<span style="font-size: x-large;">ABSOLUTELY!</span>

<span style="font-size: medium;">My mom told me years ago she used to have a cat which they had trained to "go" in the toilet. </span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">I've heard of other people with similarly trained cats!</span>

I understand...
That you can teach a cat to use the toilet, but it is hard to teach them to flush...

Having once had cats, and having had to deal with the "joys" of the litter box, I'd have to say that the cat not flushing the toilet would be a small price to pay to get rid of that litter box.
Besides, there is a possible problem with the cat flushing. Cats, being the way they are, might find it entertaining to watch the toilet flush. And decide that there really is nothing better to do than sit, and repeatedly flush all day long. Running up a sky high water bill, or causing a small flood in the process.

That clip was what I was thinking of.
I thought of another "cat in the bathroom joy" while watching that clip: the cat having fun with toilet paper. Growing up, we had a cat who liked toilet paper so much that we ended up keeping it in a cupboard at all times.
