fetch : throw light toy or object and they retrieve and drop it at my feet for next round.

Use the toilet and remember to flush

Pick 1

Only knowing how to flush sounds really annoying. Knowing cats they would just start flushing over and over again when they are bored.

I'm ok with explaining to guests why there could be a surprise in the bowl

Easily done.

To teach the shitting part you'll need a spare toilet seat. Take that seat and screw it into a toilet box and place it next to the toilet. Every few weeks raise the spare seat up by a few inches until it's next to the toilet. Then remove the spare seat and box.

To teach how to flush, react with treats every time the cat hits the flusher. Be prepared for all night flushing.
