Woman names her cat "The Soaker" in her language, unknowingly creating a self-fulfilling pawphecy when he constantly gifts her toys he dips in the toilet: 'I've basically created a monster.'

Cats are weird little creatures, and yet here are - adoring their every whiskery weirdo deed.

As we should. Cats are to be worshiped, as the kings and queens they are, who rule our lives with an iron paw. Even medieval emperors adored their cats, so who are we to dispute that? But that doesn't change the fact that cats, these beings we admire so, are fluffing weirdos. They will literally scream on blank walls, try to parkour on your ceiling at odd hours of the night, and insist on napping on your laptop right when you have an important meeting (and let's see you dare to move them).

But let's see if your cat, who's definitely weird in their own way, beats the complete coo-cooness of this one. He dips his cat toys in the toilet water. But wait, there's more! This is, most definitely, done in good faith. No, it's not that the cat thinks the toys are dirty - he gives them as moist gifts to his stunned human, delivering them right on her bed. Thoughtful. And you think she just accepts it? This human tried everything to stop this strange gift-giving from happening to no avail.

You have to see it to believe it. But what we always know, with seeing or not, is that cats are weird. So, so, so weird. But honestly? We wouldn't have them any other way.

    My kitten is "marinating" his toys in the toilet and bringing them to my bed. Send help.

  • Look, we're not saying that seeing this cat stare and “marinate” his toys in the toilet isn't a strange sight to behold - we're only saying that if it's documented, it means the human who took the pictures has seen this done enough times for them to not even be phased anymore. She was ready. She knew this was coming, because she had already gone through it all - probably started by finding wet cat toys on her bed, thinking “What in the world?!”, then following her kitten's weird fascination with the toilet, only to find him in the act. And now?> She was ready with a camera… as anyone else would do, being in her shoes, we're sure.

    Just look at this little rascal, this adorable criminal, this cute boi just minding his own business (even if the business is dubious and not recommended as a hobby by literally anyone). This phenomenon might be beyond our understanding, like a supernova in space - but as that, we stare in awe and admiration because how can we even start to comprehend what we're looking at.

    I've had cats my whole life, but my 7-month-old, Mochi (full name: Momčilo), is on a different level. He has a genuine, slightly alarming fixation with the toilet that I was not prepared for.

    It's the flush that does it. It doesn't matter where he is in the apartment or how deep he's sleeping, the second he hears that water, he's sprinting.

    He doesn't just watch, the guy tries to get involved. If the lid is up, he'll dip his entire head inside to watch the vortex like it's the most interesting thing he's ever seen.

    I'm used to cats liking toilet water. My 3-year-old female is a fan of bowl water too. Because of her, I already have ceramic water bowls that I refresh few times a day. She's happy with the upgrade. Mochi? He couldn't care less.

    So, I started keeping the lid closed. Problem solved, right? Not even close. Mochi has decided that the lid is a personal insult. I actually have video of him biting the rim of the seat and shoving his entire paw(arm? leg?) elbow deep into the gap to try and lever it open.

    He's still small, so physics is on my side for now, but the brute force he uses is actually impressive. Closing the door should do the trick? Well, not quite. My older cat has mastered the art of opening doors, meaning the bathroom is essentially a 24/7 public park for Mochi's shenanigans.

    The real chaos happens if the lid is left open for even a second. He's started this habit of dunking his plush toys in the bowl and bringing the dripping mess to my bed.

    I've realized his name was a self-fulfilling prophecy: in my language, močiti (mochiti) is the verb for soaking or dipping. So when he's at the toilet, on moči (he is soaking). I basically named him 'The Soaker' and then acted surprised when he started marinating his toys.

    I've basically created a monster. He doesn't even wait for the cover of night anymore. He'll deliver a soggy offering right in the middle of the day while I'm trying to read or work. I am being haunted by a creature. of my own naming, and my patience (and my duvet cover) is wearing thin.

    I genuinely need to know: 1. Has anyone else dealt with a "Toilet Extremist" like this? Is it just a weird kitten phase or is this my life now?
    via Thunder_Pigg787
  • 14
    2. Does it get worse? I'm worried he's going to figure out how the handle works and just spend his day flushing my money down the drain. 3. Will he eventually grow out of the "soggy gift" stage, or should I just start sleeping with the bedroom door locked?

    He's a great cat otherwise, super sweet and energetic. He just seems to be spiritually aligned with the plumbing. Please tell me I'm not the only one dealing with a kitten who thinks the toilet is a playground.

    TL;DR: My kitten is obsessed with the toilet. He tries to pry the lid open with his elbows, and my older cat opens the bathroom door for him like a locksmith. He brings me toilet-soaked toys in bed as gifts. Ironically, his name (Mochi) sounds like the word for "soaking" in my language. He is fulfilling his destiny and I am very damp.

    AletheiaNyx Check out baby locks for toilets. They exist and will likely save you a lot of moist surprises.

    table-grapes this. baby proofing is pet proofing! my doorways are (unfortunately) covered in baby gates to keep the d in rabbit out of certain rooms but baby proofing is clutch for pet proofing!

    HotPurplePancakes My dad says his cats 'baptize' their toys haha
    via HotPurplePancakes

  • We can see in our mind's eye his cats meowing:

    "I baptize you in the name of the Human, and of the Cat, and of the Holy Water".

    A very moving purrayer, indeed.

    dollmoth9 door Absolutely baby locks! Either for the toilet or the so they can't access the bathroom at all. My cat likes to play with the knobs of the gas stove so I had to get baby locks for those right away in case she actually managed to turn them.

    idkkkkkkkkk69 I'm so happy my cat does this in her water bowl rather than our toilet.
    via idkkkkkkkkk69

  • Being happy that your cat dips their toys in their water bowl and not in the toilet is like being happy for the least of two evils. Like, oh well, at least you have to deal with changing the water in their bowl more often and not with… whatever the people in the other option have to deal with.

    Kuneria My boyfriend's cat used to dip my dirty underwear in his water bowl, and then drink from it, then he would drag my wet undies all over the house. I used to think it was my boyfriend being an absolute degenerate but then i witnessed the cat doing it. I told my boyfriend about it and all he said was "my MAN."

    panicnarwhal yep, i have to change the filters in our water fountains at a remarkable rate, all because our cat like to play in the fountain - and dunk toys in the fountains, and dip her entire chest in the fountain several times a day her chest is perpetually soaked, the fur pulled into little wet spikes lol it's gross, but at least it's not a toilet

    chchchcheetah My thoughts exactly. Thankfully I have never left my toilet lid open (after she almost fell IN once) for more than 2 seconds, but I come home to toys in water bowls every day. Attempts on the water fountains but she doesn't usually get it all the way in. Thankfully she does not deliver them to my bed either haha

    rockinem 192 This sign hanging in my bathroom for that very reason; There is no reasoning with tabby cats, so we must be the ones to adapt... ☺ PLEASE CLOSE THE LID

    llamacorn96 Maybe try getting the boy a lil running water fountain. An ex's cat refused to drink out of anything but the faucet till he got her a fountain. Some kitties just like the running water, they don't drink from stagnant water in the wild.
