^Yeah, I've thought of that, but I think I'm too busy for any pets right now. and damn does that kitten look small...

[sv650s]

i'm usually not a fan of cats but this one is pretty cute.....till he grows up and starts giving you the evil stare

[windowpane]

Cute kitten but pets are a trajedy waiting to happen, that's my feeling now lost my cat four years ago and I will never replace her, any pets I 'get' in the won't be mine.

Okay... got a sad story about this little guy...

Woke up yesterday and went looking for him, but couldn't seem to find him anywhere. Checked every place I could think of without any luck. I was thinking he was just sleeping somewhere hidden and we'd find him a little later, but I had to pee, so headed to the bathroom only to find him inside the toilet, curled up in the bottom of the bowl with only about half of his head above water.

I thought he was dead because he wasn't moving, and his eyes were open just staring straight ahead. It wasn't until I picked him up out of the toilet that he started to cry, but still was not moving at all, and was cold as ice.

Basically, it appears that overnight, somehow, he managed to fall into the toilet, and he's so little that he couldn't climb back out again. I'm not exactly sure how long he was in the toilet, but I do remember hearing him crying around the time I went to bed, and it was the same sound he makes when he's hungry, so I wasn't concerned about it.

Looks like he just wore himself out trying to get out, and succumbed to hypothermia from being in the water so long, and went into shock.

Spent the morning with him wrapped in blankets and a heating pad to slowly bring his body temperature back up, which took quite a while. He appeared to be improving quite a bit, but whenever we stood him up on the floor he would just wobble and fall over and wasn't really making any attempt to move, so we took him to the vet.

The vet held onto him for a while, and eventually, he just kinda came out of it, and looking at him now, you'd never know anything had happened. I swear that cat was no more than about 15 minutes from being dead, so we're lucky we found him when we did. I felt so horrible seeing him there in the bowl like a drowned rat. Got him on some steroids and antibiotics now...

It's true what they say, cats DO have 9 lives...

cold as dead:


not a happy camper:


Warmed up, but still unresponsive:


All better:

Glad he's ok (guess that's life #1)


(One good reason to close the toilet seat!)

True, reading that last post of his, I feared the worse, but glad the little one is doing okay. I would keep the toilet seat down and the bathroom door closed from now on. Try to keep the kitty confined to a area, they love to be nosey and roam around and you will be surprise where they can get themselves into.

again glad little kitty is okay.

that's horrible! good thing he's ok, cats do stupid stuff all the time, so be prepared

my cat loves to go outside and when he was a kitten we used to keep him on a leash tied to a tree. well he climbed up the tree, slipped off a branch and hung himself not cool when ur 6 and u walk outside and see ur cat swinging from a tree. my dad saved him tho so it was all ok. my cat is down to 4 lives i believe, he's done a lot of stupid shit over the last decade

Okay guys, not to sound like an ass, but this isn't the first cat I've ever owned... I've had cats ever since I was little, and I'm pushing 30 now. currently, I have 4 of them ranging in age from 8 weeks (Toby) to 5 years (Sophie)... I know exactly how much trouble they can get into LOL.

What puzzles me is... did you notice him in the toilet before or after you took a piss?
