I'm Just Sitting Here Watching The Water Spin Round & Round

Sammy has discovered the toilet.

The sound of flushing brings him racing from whatever activity he's engaged in, whether it be playing soccer with the dog food or making sure the puppy does not nap too long (by attaching himself, via claws, to her face and repeated biting her neck), so he can leap up on the seat and watch the bowl fill up with water. So far, he's been successful at stopping himself on the very edge of the rim and not vaulting into the toilet itself, but the bigger he gets, the harder that will be to pull off.

He's also figured out that the edge of the bathtub, between the shower curtain & liner, is a great place to hide and attack the unsuspecting as they are sitting down to "do their business." There's nothing like a claw in a bare leg to make you speed up the process, which also, of course, shortens the time he has to wait until flushing commences again.


If you're fortunate enough to use the bathroom without his assistance, he will wait outside the door, and as soon as you open it there will be a blur of black fur as he darts past. Depending on how quick your reflexes are, this may or may not result in you laying sprawled out on the floor, half in the bathroom and half in the hallway, muttering curses under your breath.

Does anyone know where I can get a "Use At Your Own Risk" sign for my bathroom?
