Sometimes we use the other bathroom, same deal. I never find the lid down, she never finds it up.

I feel like this is some magic that should never be talked about openly, like we agreed without speech and discussing it would break something. Lived with many women, this has never happened.

I’m just being weird, aren’t I? I love her for it in any case.

EDIT: I wasn’t clear. I’m talking about the seat. We’re gross and don’t put the lid down when we flush. Yes, I’m aware that tosses bacteria around, don’t care. Unless one of us ends up with a compromised immune system, it’s not a big deal. And we pretty much never fall ill.

    Yea this actually used to annoy me with a female friend who’d come over. Other than the droplet spray issue, my cats fascinated by the water in the toilet. He generally tries to follow anyone going to the bathroom anyway to keep you company as they often do. But as soon as you open the door with the lid up he runs straight over, starts pawing at the water and very quickly ends up falling in head first.

    I always wonder if he thinks his own reflection is another cat. I think that’s what was going on with my last cat when he would stare at the washing machine.

      I have a new 6-month-old kitten. She’s shown interest in the toilet. Last night I discovered what she’s been so interested in. Warning: the following story is equally disgusting and hilarious.

      We use flushable litter, so after using the toilet, I scoop litter then flush it all together. After scooping, I caught her with both paws in the toilet and chased her out. She managed to get a little bit of her target, the toilet paper!!!, away with her. So she could EAT IT.

      I was laughing and shouting in shock and horror so loudly my partner came to check on us.

      After cleaning her up, as I continue getting ready for bed, she went back to the toilet to bat at the water. I pulled her off then took one square of TP to wipe the seat off where she left a couple drops and threw it in the toilet. She immediately grabbed the square of TP (from a thankfully otherwise empty toilet bowl) and ran away with her prize, carrying it like a proud huntress. I had to chase her around the bedroom to get it back and clean her paws again.

      So yeah, she’s going to train me to always leave the lid closed because of my disgusting but adorable pet.
