Why Cats & Toilets Don't Mix (But They Do)

You've got the flowers, you've practiced your best jokes, and you're ready to make a great impression. And then, as you're showing them around your place, you hear it – the unmistakable sound of water rushing in the bathroom. You push open the door, and there it is: your cat, sitting pretty on the toilet, looking at you like, "What? I was just checking if it's clean."
