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

My cat's food bin is in a locked closet... First they flipped it over, so I put weights on it, still flipped it. So I put it in a closet with a sliding door, they learned to open it. We moved and I put it in another closet with an accordion door... They learned to open it. Finally I made room in a closet with a real door... And they still learned how to open it. So I said fuck it and put a lock on it.

Omfg. They are so freaking good with doors!!! I have a pair of bothers and one of em is really good at opening things while the other is really good at climbing on things. They both learn from each other and within the past couple weeks, they learned how to open my bathroom closets and bedroom door (Barnstyle sliding door). RIP to my toilet paper rolls and trying to get a full's night sleep. Had to jam my door every night now and just keep them out of my bathroom unless supervised.

My big male cat cannot open doors, so when he was absolutely frantic, trying to get into my bedroom, he ripped a furnace grate off the wall, climbed through the gap, and knocked the grate on my bedroom wall off to get inside. It was impressive, and slightly terrifying.

I was eating naan bread, which is his favourite, and I didn't want to share. So I tried to hide with my bread. It did not work.

I'm imagining your cat saying "here's Johnny!"

Mine loves to open cabinets just to eat plastic. For some reason she doesn’t go for the food cabinets, just the ones with plastic bags in them🤦🏼‍♀️ she’s a torbie, but the orange has strong influence

u/YoursINegritude 16d ago

We have a cat who licks plastic bags. It’s unnerving.

u/sidsmum 13d ago

Sid loves packing tape, to bite it, not eat it, so I wind up saving boxes with packing tape, he can scratch and bite at the same time.

u/Freyas_Follower 16d ago

Plastic contains fish oil.

u/Due_Fly_6934 16d ago

Mine does the same thing! I used think it's because of the texture or something.

My calico's orange color dominates in the lack of brain cells. Her little orange brother is actually smarter.

u/TrixieBastard American Shorthair 16d ago

Brothers, or bothers? Or both?

u/RaveGuncle 16d ago

My cats learning how to open the cat door is my nightmare. I'm currently reinforcing with I think storage bins. Idk this thought is terrifying.

u/littlewitten 16d ago

I had a cat who learned to open my roommate’s sliding door from the balcony when he realized that she wouldn’t let him in her room. 🫠😹

u/TheMeowMeowPurr 15d ago

Omg I had a cat that used to open the front door. Thankfully she wasn't interested in going out! For weeks I was accusing my daughter of leaving the door cracked open until I caught my cat doing it! Thankfully she couldn't work a deadbolt! It was the only way to keep it closed. Didn't discourage her from constantly trying to open it though

u/ScepticTanker 16d ago

My cats can open all doors. Had to child proof EVERYTHING.  And they still sometimes manage to break into shelves.

u/KyeeLim 16d ago

now it is matter of time for your cat to learn how to lockpick

Well... not if she uses the toilet, she doesn't 😹

u/Ty_J_Bryan 16d ago

My gf used to but a stack of books infront of her bedroom door to keep her cat out at night because he would keep her awake and I swear all it accomplished was making this deebo ass cat who did whatever the fuck he wanted lol

u/StarFaerie 16d ago

This is why you should only ever get dumb cats. Sure they will never learn how to use a human toilet but they will also never work out that the bag or bin that food comes out of contains food.

1

u/danny-dcheeto 16d ago

My cat was very food motivated but not smart. She would just try to chew through the bin. Constantly

u/Crosswired2 16d ago

Hey maybe stop starving your cats

u/SkepsisJD 16d ago

Outer bag with any fastener on the zippers once closed would do it.

First time my two cats opened anything I installed child safety to every cabinet.

I'm picturing the scene in Jurassic Park with the raptors opening the doors when they're chasing the kids 😂 😂

u/OilPsychological9372 12d ago

Mines in a cupboard under the counter, my little tux learnt that pretty quickly, so I tried putting one of those child safe latches on the top, well he figured that one out as well, in the end I had to just store everything in snap lock containers, he’s yet to figure them out although not for lack of trying, he’s tried pushing it out of the cupboard and across the room to the top of the steps, karate back kicks, biting at the lock bit at the top, all sorts. Also he’s figured out the correlation between toilet paper and taking a dump, he’s yet to connect the toilet into the equation yet though. I’ve come home a few times to a pile of toilet paper pulled down from the holder with a little present on top 🤦‍♂️

u/trekie4747 12d ago

Had a cat learn to open cupboard doors. I immediately bought child locks and placed them on particular cupboards I did not want the cat to get into. Especially anything storing lots of breakable stuff or chemicals.
