additional points on the toilet monster from my earlier post:
at this moment, in the kitchen, Dude is telling Chita the cat that she took care of the sea monster and the credit is all hers, and is petting and praising her. she is eating this up, mostly because she does not speak English and doesn’t know what he’s on about.
point the second: this happened once before, and it was a mouse, a big mouse, and the lid of the toilet was up, so we heard the splashing and then the thing leapt out of the toilet. Chita was quite young at that point, but we flung her in there and slammed the door shut and there was a ruckus for a little bit and then we relented and went in there and trapped the mouse under a garbage can and threw it out the door, and Chita was mad that we’d taken it away but it had been pretty clear she hadn’t known what to do with it, so.
Nobody believed us that it had come up through the toilet, last time; they all said it must have been in the house and fallen in there, but Dude researched and found pages about how animals can totally climb through that U-bend, and frequently do, and in the decade or so since I’ve always been slightly unnerved about that toilet whenever I’m drunk or very tired or alone in the house, but.
Now we can incontrovertibly say, listen, it came up through the toilet. There’s no way whatever that was got in there any other way. And there’s no way all three of us imagined it. We just didn’t see it.
But don’t panic, fellow toilet-users: 1) it generally only happens on the first floor of a building, 2) it is uncommon, 3) you can just flush the animal back down if it’s small, 4) it’s not a bad habit to just take a peek into the toilet before you use it to make sure nothing’s in there, 5) if it’s a large animal like a snake well you’re fucked, figure it out, but i’m good they don’t live in this climate and winter is just the price I pay for that, 6) seriously the next time someone bitches about the weather I’m going to tell them about snakes in toilets so there, 7) honestly we don’t even have big spiders around here, that’s how great harsh winters are, 8) i fucking love winter you guys 9) i’m not scared of rats compared to how scared i am of giant snakes in my toilet ok, 10) i like snakes but not in my toilet, 11) so the composting toilet out by the yurt is literally just a bucket that we empty into its own dedicated compost pile and i have to check around for wildlife every time i use it and somehow it’s less disturbing than this? composting toilet-bucket 4 lyfe y’all.
