He does unroll some toilet paper, but he probably does that because he's seen his human(s) do it after using the toilet. He doesn't seem to have any idea what it's for. He's just trying to 'bury' and when he hits the roll it unrolls... our girls did the same thing (only they dragged the paper down into their litterbox.) Oh, I didn't think of that! Did you notice that he was scratching on the toilet seat with that "burying" motion? I guess since that didn't do an adequate job of covering up the poop, he then moved on to the toilet paper, which you have to admit, did a fine job of burying. I thought he was unrolling the paper because he'd seen humans do that after using the toilet.

I should give away the two sacks of litter that I have, too. Come to terms that I do not need it now. The moment you do, you'll have a "visitor" that prefers the indoor facilities to outside. Maeve ^..^ -- http://moonglowminnow.wordpress.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/minnow/ |

I I know it's possible to train indoor cats to pee/poo in the toilet (they do not flush, leading to embarrassment if a visiting friend needs to use your facilities) Caliban often flushes my toilet, because it is flushed by a button on the tank, and he often waltzes around there and accidentally steps on the button. The weirdest thing is when he steps on the button while I'm using the 'throne'. Unfortunately, he hasn't taken to using the toilet instead of the litter box. My sister's cat, Linus, did learn to use the toilet, just by watching my sister. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Sure, they know you spend time there, and that you're a captive audience for feline attention. And they know that when you stand up, you press that button or lever and it makes a lot of noise, and then the water swirls around, in what is for some a fascinating way. But do they understand why you were sitting there to begin with? Apparently, Linus did. Is he generally a smart cat? Joyce -- Officer: Soldier, do you have change for a dollar? Soldier: Sure, buddy.

wrote: Apparently, Linus did. Is he generally a smart cat? Hmm, I don't know... usually his grumpiness gets in the way of any other character traits. I suppose he's a fast learner. Usually, when I visit my sister, he hangs out on top of a cabinet and just glares at me the whole time I'm there, but once, when I was looking after them (him and Ronja), I took him out for walkies on his leash. He loves his walkies. When I came in the next day, he wasn't glaring at me from some corner, he stood to attention at the door, waiting for me to put his leash on him and take him out for walkies again. That was kind of cute. Suddenly, I was his best friend ever. Hmm, it seems like he was turning into a dog. Maybe if you'd stayed there long enough, he would've started showing up at your side with his leash in his mouth. He does sound pretty smart, though.

Human Litterboxes (was Cat Using toilet and toilet paper)

Maybe less risk of splashback? Toilets are fascinating pieces of engineering, and the different designs around the world can be somewhat confusing. The USofA seem to use bowls with a higher water level in the pan than those in the UK. In much of Europe, there's a 'shelf' on the front inside edge of the bowl where business is deposited (for inspection?) before flushing, and not straight into the standing water of the S-(or U-)bend vapour trap. Much of the [human] world sees defaecation as a normal bodily function that is a great indicator of health (or otherwise), and in less developed countries, defaecation in public is seen as nothing unusual (particularly with children). In my opinion, we have a somewhat strange and prudish attitude in the UK. Our 'bathrooms' are often placed at almost inaccessible parts of public buildings, and eliminating is seen as something to be hidden. It's something we all have to do, so why hide it?
