A pet toilet suitable for use indoors, including a housing having electronic sensors built within the walls of the housing, which in operation, the electronic sensors are adapted to determine the ingress and egress of a pet, after which the sensors automatically relay a signal to flush the housing via conventional household drains. The drain of the housing is covered by a moveable drain cover or plate controllable by the sensors. The pet toilet further includes water and electricity supply lines and feeds such water and electricity through suitable water distribution and electronic distribution lines which are within the walls of the housing.
