Almost, but I pictured her ears pinned slightly back and a look of disgust, lmao.
Sorry about the spelling, will she forgive me?

Yeah, but you forget--she grew up with two Great Danes! She's seen it all: poop, vomit, mud, blood, you name it! (Blood? Yeah, when Little Freddie tore the end of his tail open. My entryway had walls on both sides, so when he'd run to the front door to bark at someone, his tail would continuously hit one side, then the other, ultimately breaking the skin, and spraying blood all over the place. My vet ended up amputating about six inches after all bandaging attempts failed.)
Of course! She's very forgiving. Even after I had to inject subcutaneous fluids in her every day, she forgave me. So I'm pretty sure she'll be good on the spelling thing.

But my guess (and I maybe wrong here) is that she has never seen YOU do that outside.
Cats are very observant of change.

I haven't watched it yet, but the first thing I noticed in the printed part was where it says "If it was made before 1994..."
I would strongly commend it to you. Please don't be misled by a piece of script.
You're 100% right on that!!
But....
Does pooping in bed count?
When I first came home from the hospital, and was still too weak to get up, I was in diapers....and did everything in them. Joy Noelle would sit and watch as my butt got wiped clean and the poopy diaper taken away. She'd shake her head in disbelief and say, "Mommy, *I* was potty trained when I was just a baby, remember?!"
After finally passing the pooping-in-bed stage, and moving to the bedside-commode stage, she'd watch in disbelief as her mother pottied right next to the bed.
Given all that, I'm not sure ANYTHING would surprise her!

Well, you could have a giant litterbox put somewhere, fill it with litter, and pop a squat in that.
Then, of course, don't forget to paw at the box edge incessantly for a good 20-30 seconds.
I bet she would really get a kick out of that!

You think that's long enough?

It seems to be for most.
Cats have better things to do.

Maybe shewould join in the fun with you.
Just don't say her name!
Cats hate hearing their name called while they are pooping.
Don't believe me?
Catch your cat in the act, look right at the cat, and say the cat's name.
Bet $1 that the cat pins its ears back and stares straight ahead- like, "Leave me the ____ alone!"

Well, I have three cats to experiment with, so we'll see! But only one box is uncovered, so that narrows down the number of opportunities.
The only time Joy Noelle doesn't like her name called--and I do NOT KNOW how she knows this--is when we're going to the vet!
I'll deliberately, consciously try to make my voice sound exactly like it always does when I call her, but somehow she always knows. Not just that, but she's actually gotten to a point where she knows BEFORE anything happens that it's a vet day. Say that our appointment is at 11:00, so we need to leave the house at 10:45. By 10:00, she's HIDING. Either hiding hiding, like in some inaccessible hiding place, or way up high, on top of the tallest bookcases--which *I* cannot reach--and refuses to come down. I seriously don't know how she knows!

HAHAHA, cats are hilarious!
No kidding! And I'm so glad they've been a part of my life my whole life.
Something I forgot to mention about the Joy/vet thing is that I deliberately avoid having her carrier brought inside until AFTER she's in my arms. But, even so, she somehow knows when it's a vet day!
Following instructions online, including these, we measured the distance from the wall to the center of the bolts. ALL of the rough-in sizes I've seen have been 10", 12" and 14". What do you buy when yours is 11"?
Who says size doesn't matter?!
Who says size doesn't matter?!
I would guess a 10" center would be the choice. That would leave an inch between the back of the tank and the wall. A 12" would have the wall in its way. That is strictly a guess for I know absolutely nothing about it.
I decided to plunge in and get the damned thing ordered, so I went with a 12"--and here's why. As I did more research, I found that 12" is the most common, most standard measurement. In fact, most of the toilets I even considered weren't available in anything *but* 12"! So I ordered the one I want, directly from Kohler, and we'll see what happens when we attempt to install it!
All I have left to buy (unless I'm forgetting something) is tile for the floor. I've narrowed that down to three that I really like, but I can't quite make up my mind.

Going outside is sounding better and better.

Why not get a toilet that talks, or makes smart remarks when used?
Let's make them like cars.
How about one with a 'check engine' light that stays on, or that bings incessantly when you leave the keys in it?
Let's make them need keys, and/or a stupid keyfob with the batteries that are always dead.

You won't be surprised by this at all, but.... when I was searching for toilets, one of the filters available was 'smart' (or 'intelligent'), i.e., usable with a smart phone/Internet connection. Really? No, I mean REALLY? MY TOILET?
Thanks, but interacting with it while in the bathroom is all the interaction I care to have.
You're right, pooping outside *is* starting to sound better....

"Congratulations!
Today you only used 10 squares of toilet paper during your first vist to the restroom.
Thank you for reducing your carbon footprint with your bathroom habits!"

I hope those toilet apps don't have a "share" feature.
My beautiful pedestal sink was delivered today....sort of....
The FedEx guy told my helper it sounded broken; she listened to it and agreed, so they didn't even open the box. He's returning it and getting it re-sent.
