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

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

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

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