There is a rule in our house that states that the toilet seat MUST be down at all times. (Well not when you are using it. LOL) Last night someone left not only the lid up but the seat as well(Indicating a man). The door was just open a little. Just enough for little Mandy to slide in. My husband was in the kitchen reading the newspaper and I was in our bedroom watching TV. I heard water splashing and thought my husband was doing something in the kitchen sink untill I saw my husband run down the hall and into the bathroom. "One of the cats fell in!" he shouted. I ran to the bathroom and there was no cat but water all over the floor and little wet paw prints leaving the bathroom. I followed the prints and found Mandy, all wet, sat on the top step leading down to our front door. I got a towel and picked her up. She had a quick wash in the sink. ( I don't like the thought of her being covered in water from the toilet). She didn't mind sitting in the bathroom sink as I washed her. The look on her face was priceless. I wish I had taken a picture now. It may take a while before little Mandy will jump up on the toilet again. She usually jumps on the toilet to get to the bathroom sink where she plays with the chain keeping the plug on the tap. There is never a dull moment.

Oh and Rosie, I'm willing to bet that toilet training is not an option for little Mandy now. LOL

Maybe not!
OOh poor little thing!
That happened to my girlfriend and her kitten last week - but it was much worse;
Little Zazu is only about 9 weeks old. He was in the bathroom keeping her company as usual. When she flushed - Zazu saw the water swirling and jumped in! Since he's so small he almost got flushed! She said she literally grabbed him in the nick of time!
Can you imagine! I don't know who was more freaked out- my friend or little Zazu!
Awwwwwww poor Mandy!!! Bet she wasn't expecting a bath in the toilet!!

Poor Mandy! Since I live alone, I don't have to worry about that. (unless Moo or Doogie are using the toilet unbeknownst to me!)
Moo took a little swim too, when I first got him. What a riot! I gave him a bath as well. Thank goodness he has no fur.
Poor Mandy....! Humans should be more careful, hey?!http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/toliot2.gif

Poor Mandy! My kitty Kedi had that happen when he was about 9 months old- he was always such a clown! :D
Oh, and BTW NoahsMommy, the last time I was on PT (regularly), you only had 2 cats. How many do you have now?! I think I counted 6 pics...........................

This morning when I was brushing my teeth she came in the bathroom and she actually looked to make sure the lid on the toilet was down before she jumped. They learn really fast!

DEpit the fact that there are several waterdishes about , if i forget to lower the lid , Moose the Magnificent drinks out of the toilet! One day he slid in , paws first , but thankfully he is at 22 lbs, to fat to fall in!

That is too funny!
As soon as I read the title I started giggling, but I'm glad Mandy learned to look before she leaps!
**still giggling**

:D :D When I first read this, I figured she just jumped up know the lid would be down because it always is. Imagine her surprise when instead of landing on a solid lid, she splashed into a big bowl of water! :eek: :eek: And sorry little Mandy sweetie, but I had to laugh too.
It is amazing how fast they learn. :D :D

Awww poor little Mandy. I'm so glad she's okay. My cat Sunny has been known to play in my roommates toilet. One day she heard some swishing noise and it was Sunny just having a good old time playing in the toilet. :) I always keep my toilet down but my roommates usually never do. I'm glad that all 3 of my cats are large so there's no chance of them drowning or getting flushed down the toilet.

I know I posted before about this...but, if it helps one person...
Leaving the lid up with young cats can have a deadly effect. Because of the slope of the bowl, and the fact that ceramic is soooo slippery, a young kitten or puppy CAN FALL IN HEAD FIRST, NOT HAVE THE STRENGHT, SKILL, TENACITY TO RIGHT HIMSELF, AND DROWN!
I don't mean to dampen anyone's spirits, and I am sure it was a cute sight, BUT, this is kinda serious to me...and, it can really have some devasting effects. :(

I agree with you 100%. It almost scared me to death. It was the fastest time I ever ran to the bathroom! The cute part was seeing her getting her second bath in the sink. That I would have loved to get a picture of. She looked so cute all wet. As for the "man" that left the seat up. He has been punished!
