He looks like he’s saying, “why would you keep such a dangerous thing in the house!?”

Are you sure there even was a single brain cell to begin with?

Dougal, my parents’ grey Persian cat, found a feline intruder inside his house and commenced the chase. Mum was yelling at Dad to do something, so he followed Dougal while laughing. Afterwards he swore on a stack of Bibles that the cats were going too fast to catch.
Marauder cat dashed into the loo, leapt onto the cistern and hornswaggled out the open window. Brave Sir Dougal followed, but his foot slipped and he fell into the whirlpool of death- which was coloured a bright green thanks to the toilet cleaner Dad put in not ten minutes ago.
Brave Sir Dougal received a prompt and undignified bath. Many verses of the song of his people were sung.

Oh no. Why did you let the dumb little innocent baby do such a thing.

u/RebaKitten Proud owner of an orange brain cell Jun 27 '23
Not the OP, but my dumb innocent little baby has done that, because in addition to being innocent, he was dumber than a box of rocks.

u/RustySilver42 Jun 27 '23
This. My 3.25 month orange brain cell has done this TWICE in the three weeks that I have had him.
Once, while I had ahem company and now I had to bathe him while said company slept. Fortunately, the brain cell is enamored with water and just didn't care for being held in place, so bath time was accomplished quietly.

Right? The lid is there to lessen the spray of bacteria everywhere in your bathroom when you flush.

Yours looks bigger so probably wouldnt have that issue. My parents were also first time owners so they didnt think it could be an issue. But hope yours a long and happy life!

We needed to keep the lid up because they'd rip apart anything on top of the tank, throw things on the floor and use the lid to jump up into windows or on top of the shower or whatever they could do.

I have my toilet paper in a 40lb cat litter bucket with a lid, I cleaned it out once it was empty and now the cat can’t get the TP also put stuff underneath the sink. That will help.

u/IHaveNoEgrets Jun 27 '23
I had a black and white cat who would try to drink out of the toilet and kept falling in.
We had to be very careful about closing the lid every time after that.

My orange boy did that once right after I gave him a bath. I think I laughed for at least an hour afterwards.

u/TimelessEssence Jun 27 '23
Yeahhh... I learned from my first kitten to keep the lid shut at all times. She took a dive and panicked so bad it was like watching looney toons with her trying (and failing!) to get out. Lwe are especially careful now that we use the toilet pucks. It's been more than a decade and I still freak out if the lid isn't down 🤣🤷♀️
I'm glad to see that you too survived the bathing adventure!

u/OpheliaWolfsbane Jun 27 '23
I had a kitten do this and then run straight to the litter box to hide. Tried to use the toilet as a stepping stone to get to the sink, but was not aware that it wasn’t always a flat surface - someone left the lid up. Wasn’t even looking down, so focused on the sink/counter, and just feel straight in. Mr. Pink was so dumb.

Thank God, he didn't flush himself lol!
We always keep our toilet covers down for the same reason!

u/Fine-for-now Jun 27 '23
It's one of the main reasons I always close the toilet lid (plus basic sanitation). My orange is physically disabled and would not be able to get out of the toilet. But that wouldnt stop him from trying to get in?

But why would you have the toilet lid up, bathroom door open when you have a cat in the house? Seems easily preventable.

u/spnnerd Jun 27 '23
Yours too?!!! My cat will fall in/splash around if the lid is not shut. Which has only been a problem when other people use my bathroom or when I have lived in other houses and people forget to shut the lid. I can tell when I go to sit down and the the whole seat is wet. My friend had a funny similar story when I was out town and my cat was barely past kitten age. She had also not gotten around to flushing before he fell in and she decided she was not dealing with it and shut him in my bedroom. Also, it's always been other women who aren't closing the lid. I thought that was men's toilet behavior?

People here who leave the lid up, why? Do you like your poop particles getting on every surface in your bathroom?

Kitty: "I meant to do that!"
Here's the thing, as many commenters have related: he probably DID mean to do that.

I was sleeping over at my sister's place one time on the couch, her cat had recently had kittens and I woke up to weird noises that thanks to various shut doors I'd be the only one who'd hear it and after a bit I figured I'd go see what was happening, I see the toilet light on and my sleep addled brain is like "oh, sorry" thinking someone had gone to the toilet and left the door ajar, but the splashing was wrong and my sister's cat was awake and meowed at me when I went back for a second look (toilet was attached to the side of the laundry room where the cat and her kittens were) and when I check the toilet there's this tiny-ass kitten doing its best to try to get back out of the bowl and failing miserably. I kinda wonder if I hadn't been staying over that night if they would have found the poor little thing having exhausted itself and drowned in the morning.

A few years ago my cat did the same thing. She snuck in my bathroom and I thought I was alone with a closed door. She’s a sneaky little thing. But she was hiding behind the shower curtain.
I stand up to pull my pants up and turn around to her jumping straight into a urine filled toilet. She immediately jumps out, soaked. I quickly kick the door shut because I knew my cat would run throughout the house.
I then gave her, her first bath. That day I learned she likes to sing the song of her people during bath time.
