I too like Alexandra's Ping have a ferret with an obsession with the toilet. Kyba's obsessions is when you flush it. He will do anything to get into the bowl as soon as you press the handle. This includes but is not limited to nipping the user on the leg to get in there. As soon as you lift him up, he chases the water till it all comes back and then does his little tail wag to show his appreciation and since he knows I can't stand to watch the tail wag without seeing it again, he knows I'll flush again just to please him. And Jeez Louise if someone is on the "throne", he will bounce and nip and Dook at the side of your leg to let you know he wants to play with the water. This also includes climbing into your underwear, (which as you are sitting is so convienently located at knee height) and using them as a trampoline to launch himself to the rim of the bowl. SHould you try to foil his plans, and leave the seat cover down, he will latch on with all 4 canines teeth and shake till he's ripped the seat to shreds. Now mind you, I have had to replace my toilet seat 3 times already this year due to slashes, rips and teeth punctures. Since Kyba's diving expeditions have started, I clean my toilet almost daily and no longer use those drop in tank tablets to keep it clean. If anyone wants a laugh, I actually have pictures of my toilet diver who is now teaching my Shea the fine art of toilet diving.
