Cats.. I want to learn about them - Possibly will adopt in September..

I have a silly question, how do you housebreak a cat? How do you train with a litter box?

Most come already trained, espcially if your getting a older cat. My first cat was 8 weeks old I think maybe 12 when we got him and he was already litter trained. I have 5 cats now and never had to train any of them. I don't even know how to train one to use a box

We rescued Moxie and Decker and their siblings from our back yard at 4-5 weeks old and they learned to used the box quickly. I'd just put them in it right after they would eat and they'd dig a little and then drop and go. It's just natural instinct for them. Don't get me wrong, we did have a couple of accidents outside the box but only the first couple of days.
