He gets fresh water in his bowl every morning; sometimes twice a day. He does have some weird drinking habits. In the morning when he's let out, he licks dew off the grass. It's rather cute to see. If I can get organized, I'll take some pictures. But this toilet bit has me somewhat annoyed. We usually keep the lid down anyway, for aesthetic reasons, but if we forget, he's in there! Anybody else? Any ideas why? Because he's a cat. And it's "fresh" water bleurk. I have two cats who drink out of the toilet regularly. It's cool, it's oxygenated, and they dig it, yucky as it is to think about. OK, everybody, appreciate the input. Mildly comforting to know that I. Am. Not. Alone. g 1. "fresh" water in toilet bowl ??? It's only "fresh" the minute after the toilet has been flushed. Depending on the size of the household, it might be only several times a day. 2. I will try moving the bowl away from the food, though it's hard to understand the cat's "thinking" in this regard. 3. Maybe I will look into the "drip" arrangements that are sold in pet stores, if they don't involve expensive plumbing. Thanks to all. -- Polar |

He has discovered it as a source of water is likely the reason... probably views it as a very large drinking bowl. As you mentioned you keep the lid down... I do the same to avoid another source for possible digestive tract upset. I've got one of those pet fountains that she just loves. Balderdash! It took years of training to get the wife to leave it up. |
