Cat suddenly starts to use toilet to pee
I'm sitting at this computer the other night and I hear a sound of
flowing water coming from my nearby bathroom. I turn my head and I see the cat I adopted about 8 months ago squatted on the toilet seat, peeing down into the bowl. He apparently has perfect aim, too. Not a drop on the seat. I adopted him back in January. He was a neighborhood cat who had lived outside, and was eating from plastic bowls of dry cat food an older lady was putting out at her front door. He is probably around 8 years old, judging by the wear of his teeth and the dark spots on his lips. 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. |

It just makes you wonder what else they're capable of. And how much
they're able to figure out about us! calaf wrote: I'm sitting at this computer the other night and I hear a sound of flowing water coming from my nearby bathroom.

news:k2Yjd.5932$0Y5.3118@lakeread07... 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... Anyway, It's both cute and practical. It gives me less work cleaning the litter box.

Well then, he puts many human males to shame. 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? I don't think there's anything in feline evolution that would have prepared them for a toilet bowl. So, I'd say it's not instinct. However, cats do learn by observation, and it's not just other cats they're observing. A little scary, isn't it? Sounds like a smart kitty! Teach him to flush! Joyce |
