Shit in their litterbox as a sign of dominance
Take your cat for a walk and stop being a shitty friend.
I tried. Once. Cat did not share your idea of what a good friend does.
I’ll have to take your word for it.
I personally haven’t tried either.
How big’s that litter box?
Maybe it’s easier, but better?
c/falsedichotomy
Yeah, what about shitting in your neighbors flower bed with your cat?
This is the Way
Yeah, might be better than the litter box, but my dog is always way too interested in my stream and I have to avoid peeing on his head
Ah, I can picture the dance now: Trying to balance on one leg, while you block him with the other, while trying not to miss the bowl which is suddenly too small.
Psh. Like you’ve never log blasted with your furry bestie after 50 cent taco night.
Pissing in the sever room with your assigned sysadmin?
I’m always made the prisoner in this scenario, I would never interrupt a pooping cat
If you are a man, yes. Try pissing outside as a woman.
Not only will you have to worry about being seen squatting with your ass out, you will also have to make sure that no pointy twigs or blades of grass stab your tender buttocks. But oh, we aren’t done yet: good fucking luck doing the squatting dance while you piss to make sure the urine doesn’t trickle toward your shoes and we haven’t even begun talking about what happens if the piss beam decides to fracture into two, three or four high pressure streams that will zap in every other direction than down. Dance, monkey, dance, or your socks and shoes will be baptized in yellow.
I would personally, rather take a shit in the cat litter if I was forced to choose. At least the log will respect gravity.
I didn’t know women experience multiple streams of urine.
Maybe I worded it wrong. English is my second language and sometimes I lack the proper words in English.
I believe you worded it correctly.
“…piss beam decides to fracture into two, three or four high pressure streams that will zap in every other direction than down.”
i thought only males have this issue.
I’ve also had to make adjustments when the pee actually comes back at my feet.
I used to pee in the backyard when my ex was using the only bathroom.
Aye, seems like it is in fact a mutual issue. I thought men didn’t have that problem, lol.
Y’all humans are strange, just pee in the water duh
Only water I’m in is the shower. Peed there many times.
Idk, I quite like my composting toilet and I call the stuff I put in it my human litter soooo.
It’s either that or carrying over100L of sewage in a 40yo plastic tank that will inevitably leak lol
This dude shits
I’ve never seen a toilet that seals, they all fecal plume, it’s just not an actual health issue. If it was, it would be very obvious by now, especially considering most public toilets in America have no lid at all.
Oh, I didn’t think it was an actual health issue or even a consideration for picking my toilet. (I’m on a small sailboat so regular toilets aren’t really a thing)
Although I will say that composting toilets do actually suck dirty air out and often have a seal around the seat. You get a lovely breeze and zero fart smells!
My main gripe with the plume is that most keep their toothbrush out in the open within the splash zone. So not applicable to public bathrooms really. Otherwise just wash your hands and everything is fine.
And my main gripe is that if fecal plumes had any adverse effects, even wrt toothbrushes, the data would be in by now.
There is data tho? Enough that public bathrooms are often covered in antimicrobial surfaces and healthcare settings take it into account…
The undeniable fact is that fecal matter gets send all over the place. If that actively gets people sick seems to be in the “maybe yes, maybe no” category but that’s enough for me to avoid the situation in the first place.
Even if there wasn’t any data, the poop on toothbrush issue is one I’d happily avoid on faith alone lol
For sure, peace of mind is priceless. And I’m not saying it can’t make people sick, but it obviously doesn’t make people sick at any non-negligible rates, or we’d be seeing those patterns. And I realize this isn’t an actual issue for your situation, but closing the lid does nothing.
Public bathrooms have antimicrobial surfaces because people can’t be trusted to wash the actual-disease-causing amounts of feces off of their hands. Healthcare settings obviously need to take every possible vector more seriously, and even they can’t stop it without a sealed lid, which again, I’ve never seen anywhere. Like, there are bathroom attendants, people whose whole job is to sit in the bathroom all day, the patterns would be unavoidable and undeniable.
My wife and I bought an old house which has been rearranged many times over the years. One upstairs room has a sink, but no toilet or shower. The toilet is in a separate room with its own sink. It’s the weirdest arrangement, but it works great.
We call it the toothbrush room. Most houses don’t have such a room, but I do recommend it. It gets more use than most rooms. Obviously the entrance and kitchen gets the most use, but the whole family comes through the toothbrush room at least twice daily.
We’ve set some cabinets, make up mirrors, the ironing board, all the hair appliances and such. It’s perfect for getting ready, ironing a shirt, flattening the hair, shaving or putting on makeup without having to stand in shit fumes or shower moist. It’s the perfect ready room.
That sounds like luxury when you consider that my shower, toilet, sink and toiletries all fit within 0.75m²
It is luxurious. It’s approx. 5 m² , but well worth the space.
If we ever buy a home without one, I’d gladly sacrifice 5 m² from any other room to make this kind of preparation room. It works great for a family.
If I were alone, I’d probably build a tiny house with a combined shower/toilet, but I’d keep my toothbrush in the kitchen.
Says you
Way to not think outside the box, Doggo. Cats don’t have to shit in a box. Neither do we.
Disagree.
This explains why my neighbours have their cats shit outside on my garden
… I have to do both alone :(
Only because I’m claustrophobic.
