Cats and toilets

My dog acts like a cat. A PMSy one.. :(

My mom's cats don't drink out of the toilet. They do, however, drink out of the fishbowl. If you ask me, they're just hoping a fish will get curious and.....SLURP!

My cats are just strange. One, I swear, must photosynthesize. No matter how much or little he eats, he just gets bigger, and bigger....I now make AMN sure he's well fed, because if he isn't, the way he looks at me as I fall asleep, I worry I'll wake up with a finger or two missing. Or worse.....The other one lends whole new meaning to the term "fraidy cat." I bought a couple of those hollow plastic balls with bells inside. I gently rolled one her way, and she ran. In the opposite direction. And hid. Yeesh.

But yeah, no toilet drinkers.

Two of my cats, The Cheat and Scummy, drink out of the toilet fairly regularily. My dad 'yelled' (read: pretended to yell) at me once because my toilet was so dirty... turns out it was all just paw prints. xD

You naming your cat The Cheat earns my undying love. :love:

My cat used to do it when she was little, until she slipped and fell into the toilet. I don't think she liked the icy cold water. :D

Why is your toilet bowl water icy cold?

Beats me. *shrugs*

Sometimes my male cat jumps into the bathtub and drinks the water that collected around the drain. There are constant lil gray pawprints in the tub.

here's an answer: Drop the cat in the toillet and flush it

I used to drink out of the toilet.

xD

i've never seen a cat do that...but I remember my friends closing the door to the fridge after the cat had jumped in there and did not get out. it stayed in there for 15 minutes before they remembered that she was in there. She also got a tumble in the dryer for being stupid and jumping in there too. :lol:

If my cat drank out of the toilet...I'd try and stop it... :eep:

yeah, 2 of my cats used to do that. but now i keep the bathroom door shut.

I caught my kitty Atticus playing with the toilet. He had his paws inside. Then I pulled him away and said, "no, no, you shouldn't play in the toilet." Silly kitty. :D

Naw I'd rather do it to you and have my kitties watch while I do it.

I'm not sure about my current cats (they're still very small), but their grandmother, whom I no longer have, would regularly drink from the toilet.

ALL of the cats tend to like to sit and watch it flush though. XD

I've never had an indoor cat or dog. My cat lived in my room when I first got him, but only in my room so he never went in the bathroom. Since then my stepfather kicked him out so he's scared to come back in the house.
