Could a cat learn to use the toilet without having been taught first by another human? Or is it something he's doing by instinct? Very bizarre. Tinùviel uses the kitchen sink for peeing. And that is something she has found out all by herself, she has definitely not seen me doing that kind of thing there. Before she found out about the kitchen sink, she used to go to the drain in the bathroom floor and use that... My mother's uncle was a farmer who had a beloved cat named Gray. Whenever her uncle would go to the barn to milk the cows, Gray would accompany him. One day it occurred to him to wonder where she was going to the john since the barn was closed up tight and was extremely neat and clean and he had never seen any evidence she was going on the floor. So he started watching her to see. It took a while but he finally saw her way over in one corner where she had found the one and only knothole in the huge planks that made up the floor. She very neatly did her business through the knothole, never leaving even a drop on the planks. He thought this was funny as hell and told the story for the rest of his life. Anyway, It's both cute and practical. It gives me less work cleaning the litter box. Hans I hope you keep Clorox on hand. What is Clorox? Some sort of bleach? If so, why would you use it? Urine is urine. It goes into the water and gets flushed away. No different therefore, cat or human. I wish my cats would pee in the toilet! I wouldn't mind flushing for them at all. Could both sexes of cats do it? Tweed That reply was for the slave of the cat who did it in the kitchen sink. Clorox is a good sanitizer and it does bleach. This post just popped up after all these months! In Britain we are trying to get away from using bleach as much as we can as we are told it is very bad for the environment. Tweed I just called my son and asked him about these late "pop-ups" - this is 10th one today. I have been trying to delete a lot of very old ones. He thought perhaps I had some messages stored that I probably resent somehow while deleting others. It's a mystery. Clorox (bleach). I use it sparingly when necessary. It is a good disinfectant. Purrs for your continued recovery. MLB |
