Porcelain, fur and my ass

I love my kitty but to be honest,at three in the morning she's a damn pain in the ass. You see, not only does my kitty love to drink out of the toilet, she also loves to play in it and merrily splashes water on the floor and toilet seat.

I would not mind so much but at three in the morning a cold wet bathroom floor, a cold wet toilet seat and my cold wet ass are not a pleasant mix.

Sure enough, I could keep the toilet lid closed but I'm just not that coherent at three in the morning and I could quite possibly wind up sitting on the lid and adding warm pee to the cold water that my feet are already swimming in. At least this way I don't add insult to injury so to speak.

I could purchase a fancy heated electric toilet seat but that would seem a bit extravagant, along the lines of a 27 way massaging office chair, but we won't go there please and thank you. Besides, I can be astoundingly cheap at times.

Enter my home made heated toilet seat.

Normally electricity and water are a bad mix unless you're using a kettle or own a hydro electric power dam. Obviously one should never put a toaster, hair dryer or blender in the bathtub, but toilet seats are mostly wood or ceramic and both are superb insulators.

Thusly, my toilet seat, some duct tape and a $2.99 toaster from the second hand store can be used to build my very own discount heated toilet seat.

Well now - I probably shouldn't feel quite so bad seeing as how the Wright Brothers, Tesla and the guy who filled the Hindenburg with hydrogen had a bad day now and then. On the other hand, I have a horse shoe shaped burn mark on my ass and I doubt that they blacked out their entire neighbourhood by shorting out the damn toilet.

Would anyone like a kitty?
