Default Cat paw prints on the toilet bowl

My foster cat has a habit of hiding inside the toilet bowl.
The behaviour is strange to say the least, but we live with it.
What I really need help with is the black paw prints on the toilet
bowl. I have tried
bleach, Baking soda, vinegar (made a nice white foaming volcano) but
the
cat's black paw prints remained. I've also tried Dawn dish washing
liquid. Nothing has worked for me. The cat prints on the inside of the
toilet bowl make it look dirty all the time. I am embarrassed when
company stops by. Help! :~ (
Thanks, Nicole

You're kidding, right? What would make the cat's paws leave such a dark
stain?

Tell your company to be sure to flush because that is where the cat hangs
out.

As long as it is a ceramic one, try acid.

When we moved into this house 12 years ago, there were prints all over
the inside of the bowl that I hate to think about even now.. but a
gasped breath and a generous dose of acid got shot of everything in it
& believe me there was plenty of marks all over it.

I left it in there for a few hours and went back to it & flushed it,
it was like new again.
Good Luck,

S;o)

Doesn't your toilet bowl have water in it?

Or a lid you can close to keep the cat out?

He's probably drinking from it as well, Nicky. You should stop this
behavior immediately. The reason for his attraction to the commode is
really quite primitive. He wants to share your scent, and apparently
the normal means afforded to him as a cat is not sufficient.This
behavior sounds a little on the unbalanced side. I'd have this checked
into by a professional. But definitely stop him if he's gulping from
the toilet. That can lead to a nasty little infection of the digestive
tract, I believe..

Good luck.

If he's not in the USA, there's not a lot of water in it. From what
I've seen, only us Yanks still have toilets that have more water than a
goldfish bowl.

Then how do your turds go down with just one flush? You see... over
here, we 'yanks' tend to be a bit larger than you limy *******s over
there. You've been inbreeding on that little island for so long that
it has affected your body size (your teeth, too. And a larger body
translates into bigger crap-piles. I'm not trying to be gross here.
This is a fact. So when we sit down on a toilet that has only as much
water as a fish bowl, but when it comes to flushing, our mess won't go
down in one attempt. We have those new 'water efficient'
environmentally nutty toilets over here, but everyone who gets one
ends up ripping it out for the old original model.
The stuff has to go down, bub. And we don't flush our waste out into
the streets, as I've heard you people have done in times past. We are
sanitary folks. We don't have plagues and world wars and the like
going on over here. Not unless the muslims or the blacks are involved.
We just so happen to be large people. And I don't mean fat. I mean
taller, broader and wider. Just like everything else we do, make and
say. So don't put us down because you happen to have small azzholes
over there. Because the next time Germany comes calling, we might just
**** on YOU instead of pulling your asses out of the fire. Again.

My pussy is fasinated by a flushing toilet. She often jumps up to
watch when she hears a flush.

Once I caught her drinking from the toilet. After that I don't let
her eat off my plate any more and also now keep a cup of water in the
tub so she don't have to drink from the toilet.
