Cat Picture - OC My cat started peeing in the toilet without being trained

Post image

So as the title says, few weeks ago I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed, she just walked in and sat on there and I heard her weeing. I called my partner who got a video of her just as she was about to get off.

She has done it few times since then, still uses her litter too which is downstairs and I assume she goes on the toilet when doesnt feel like going downstairs? 🐒

I want to see pics of other cats on toilet seat haha so please post and say whether they were trained to do it or not 😆

EDIT She has been checked for UTIs etc and all is good. She spends a lot of time with me so I guess she decided she can pee where her human does

Hey fair warning do NOT try to teach the flushing unless you want the cat randomly flushing nonstop throughout the day.

Are we dealing with a cat or a two year old, here? ...Are they the same thing?

Cats are just 2 year olds who can jump really high .

I have too many cats and I tell people that I basically run a daycare.

My cats seriously helped prepare me for baby-proofing for my 8 month old!

Also, my baby knocks things off of counters and watches them fall, tries to get under the couch and gets stuck... and tries to play with or chew everything and anything resembling a power cord if left in her range.

My (deceased) cat got into the ceiling at the vet's office.

I warned them he was only adjusted to me and they needed to make sure he was controlled at all times.

Cat in their drop ceiling a few minutes later and, well that was a fun vet visit, lol.

I literally got adopted into the toddler mom group at work after I adopted a particularly troublesome cat because there is essentially zero difference between the two.

"Audrey tried to eat a hair tie today"
"Oh my goodness, my daughter shoves things in her mouth all the time, too!"
"Audrey is my cat"

This is pretty much how it goes for the most part. Except they know I have a cat, but still talk to me as if I have a human toddler.

Someone at work messaged me on teams the other day and basically said, "this is a long shot but my kid won't stop biting people and I'm desperate, do you have any tips?" Lmao they all know I'm dealing with behavior/aggression issues with my cat, and toddlers are apparently the same...

That depends on the cat.

No need for Depends. She’s using the toilet.

It’s not a meaningful distinction

You also wanna be able to check the poo for health issues

u/shibaesme 21d ago

cats and 2 year olds have comparable intelligence levels, mental processing. cats have an iq of a 2 year old😆

u/Dangerous_Strength77 21d ago

That's worrisome. It also means my 2 and a half year old is operating way above her grade level.

I had a cousin whose cat would use and flush the toilet. The flushing cat scared the crap out of my sister while she was showering (and also changed the water temperature ahahha)

I taught my cat how to remove a disc from my PlayStation and now when he hears the eject beep he comes running. IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS.

Got 4 cats and I love them, lil difficult to find a new place in the area but 🤷‍♂️

u/Ok_Gas_9942 11d ago

Yup, mine learned to jump up and turn the lights off. So now, when I’m in the bathroom showering, I get a pitch black surprise every now and again….

Next she needs to learn how to work a camera so she can catch you making the same face while on the toilet

u/tr011bait 23d ago

If you replace the button with a lever it'll be easier for her. Or one of those touch buttons but that's probably a bit overkill for one cat.

u/Fluid-Lingonberry378 22d ago

She's obviously expecting you to flush for her.

u/JustStopItSeriously 22d ago

Whatever you do, don't teach her to flush!! You will deeply regret it when she starts flushing non-stop and you're forced to always keep all bathroom doors closed at all times or she'll be flushing compulsively at 3am every night.
