Does your cat do this?

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I have no idea if my cats would drink from the toilets, because I also always keep the lid down! To me this sounds really gross, so I don't want to give them the occasion . They are not allowed in their either, unless mommy is siiting on the toilet, covering it with herB***

umm my cat is odd
he used to drink from a replenishing water bowl. But recently he has been turning his nose up at it. I dont understand is it the water?is it the wrong temperature ? i dont know ...all i do know is now hes taken to scaring the poop out of the goldfish. its kinda funny but at the same time wierd. i cant see anything wrong with letting him drink from there except that the fish are scared. (they get over it ). i think its cute

different species, same problem

my dalmatian Frankie is, for whatever reason, *Terrified* of the doggie drinking dish in the kitchen. So he waits for someone to accidently leave the bathroom door open and drinks from the toilet, or he'll wait until he gets outside and drinks from puddles, etc.

Pepper, if it makes you feel any better, your boyfriend is a toilet drinker too.

Oh Kirin! I'm so glad you share my love of toilet drinking. We seem to have so much in common, we really must meet some day. Your place, or mine?

Do you share my other disgusting habit? I have been known to PEE in the kitchen sink. I don't know what all the fuss is about. For some reason the hoomans seem to think that I should drink from the sink and pee in the toilet. How boring is that? D

Love,
Pepper

The toilet????? Doogie used to love taking a "sippy" from the bathroom sink faucet after my shower, but NEVER the toilet!!

Oh Doogie! What's happened to you????

Nope, Dudley and Sammy do not drink out of the toilet, thank goodness!

We got Sandy when she was 3 weeks old, and I was her mommy ever since. I use the sink as a water fountin and she has always copied me. I now have a proper water fountain for them because of Freddy destoying the bathroom garbage cans. It keeps the water cold and filtered.

Our dog never drank from the toilet, but when Pixel arrived - I caught him doing it. so now we try and keep the lids down at all times.

I do give him water in a little bowl, but I've NEVER seen him drink from them! Though sometimes the water level goes down, so he must - sometimes.

I have also seen him drink from Fizz's big Water bowl - which is heavy ceramic, like a big flowerpot.

I think they like the toilet and the 'ceramic's' because the outside of these bowls 'sweat' , just like your toilet tank sweats - and the evaporation keeps the water cool.

After I saw him drink from the toilet, which was at night - I started leaving just a tiny bit of water in the sink at night, after a brush my teeth. It's usually drained thru the plug by morning, but he likes to drink from the big porcelain sink bowl, or play in the water.

Since he's an indoor/ outdoor kitty - it's a good way to get his feet clean, too.

the first time I plugged the sink, he drank, played in the water a bit, then he curled around and LAID in the sink bowl! He was so cute, I went to get my camera - but of course, he couldn't stay put! LOL

Our cats prefer the dog bowl in the kitchen or their own little personal bowl in the bathroom (which is what we used to discourage them from drinking out of the toilet). It is a very rare occasion where we will leave the lid up in our bathroom because all of our "stuff" is stored in a cabinet above and never fails you will knock something into the toilet bowl if you don't lower the lid! LOL!!!

Ha Ha!! What a funny boy!

No, we keep our toilet lids down cause I'm terrified that something will happen when I'm not home. I'm sort of a worry wart.

Pee Pee has jumped IN the toilet and two occasions where David was using the potty. Hense her name.

we keep the lid down, so no toilet drinkers here. They do however like to drink out of the fishtank.

How cute, what a priceless pic that would make, none of mine are toilet drinkers to my knowledge, perhaps they just have not been caught in the act, but I doubt it somehow, they prefer puddles outside when they can find them, even though they have lovely fresh clean water inside bowls and outside, thats kitties for ya.

lol...this thread is too funny...no Zip nor Shy are toilet drinkers..(they are faucet drinkers from bathtub)...but Zip loves to watch when i flush..lol..she hops up on her two front paws and watches it go down and then she leaves...

I heard of a cat that drowned in the toilet when the owner was gone. She said the vet told her it commited suicide. That some cats are known to kill themselves.
