Can you please give me an advice on how to litter train my 9 month old cats?? My parents taught them to go in toilet and do their job on the floor but sometimes they do a mess and get dirty. Need help please!!

Cats usually have no issues using a litter box. I suggest you use sand instead of litter because they prefer that over litter in all scientific studies done. Also, put as many litter boxes around the house as you can and use dilute bleach solution to clean all the places the cats have already gone to remove the smell. This article may help you more.
