The purrfect eco-friendly Christmas gift for pussy might just be a CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit, the cat-raption that claims to toilet train your cat right in time for the new year.

Well, at least by Ground Hog Day, since according to the manufacturer, it takes 4-6 weeks for the average fur-face to get the technique of using a toilet down pat.

According to the remarkable press release that just arrived in our inbox, "Kitty litter is leaving a large carbon footprint in our environment."

"Bacterial waste and silica dust created by litter boxes can contribute to health problems for felines and their owners. Kitty litter is not biodegradable and each year more then 4 billion pounds of it end up in landfills throughout United States. Clay, the main ingredient of kitty litter, is obtained by a strip mining process which destroys soil and vegetation leaving the land virtually useless for future generations. Environmentally conscious cat owners can now help reduce strip mining, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill litter just by toilet training their cats."

Who knew?

The Daily Green has absolutely no idea if this gift actually, you know, works, but the visuals alone were enough to pass on to our posse of greenistas.
