Even if you could just teach him to put the toilet seat down, the others might take a bit of notice. ::)
And I know what you are saying...one husband, two sons, two grandsons.....surely they can make that tiny little flow get somewhere in the perimeters of that dam big round toilet bowl.... :o

That is such a cute story Fiona! Thanks for telling us about your cat!
That's one of the many reasons why I love animals so much. Just when we think we have them figured out, they turn around and amaze us once again. They really are much smarter than we give them credit for. My dog Cody knows how to pick up his toys and put them back in his toybox in the livingroom. He's pretty good at doing it too, although sometimes I have to remind him.
And my tuxedo cat Oreo has fallen in love with an old dish rag. He's been carrying it around with him for months and I have no idea why he's doing it. He has plenty of toys too, and he plays with them, but he INSISTS on packing that rag with him everywhere he goes. ???

My cat Vivien has a "security blanket" or "wobbie" type toy too. In her case, it's a green feather on a long stick... it's a tickling toy designed for cats. My parents gave it to her as a gift the very first time they met her when she was a 2 month old kitten. And immediately... and I really mean immediately, she picked up the toy from the feather part and carried/ dragged it around the apartment with her. It was soooooooooo cute because the toy was so much bigger than she was. And, now that she's 3 years old, she still drags the same toy around with her all the time. She hates it when people mess with it and has no interest in me "dangling" it or playing with it for her in the manner it was intended. She also likes to sleep with it. The green feather part is disgusting and matted from all the times she's carried it around in her mouth. But, she loves it even in it's current, sort of sad condition.
I bought her two other identical green feather toys on sticks and she has no interest in them. Some how that first one she got as the present from my parents has the magic touch for her.
As far as Vivien turning things on and off... she definitely knows how to flush the toilet. She goes through phases where she finds that fun. And, she also knows how to turn the light on and off in my kitchen. The light switch is right above the counter, so all she needs to do is sit on the counter and it's easy for her to reach the switch. It's really funny and surprising when she gets into a mood to play with the light because she rarely does it and it can be quite a shock at first to see the light flickering on and off rapidly (she likes to flick it on and off repeatedly when she's in the mood to mess with the light).
Lately, her bad-cat habit has been opening cabinet doors and climbing in. She seems to be able to push her way out of the cabinet doors with no problem... but this new habit really worries me. I would really hate to think of her getting stuck in a cabinet when I'm at work or something. I'm seriously thinking about child proofing some of my cabinets.

I am just happy when they decide to USE the indoor plumbing instead of my landscaping...
