That said, the toilet is only the second germiest place in the house. The kitchen sink is first. Anything that hits the sink needs to be washed before use, both utensils and food. And never ever leave a sponge in the sink!

Years ago, I lived in a tiny efficiency apt. with the world's smallest bathroom: shower stall, toilet, sink, tiny window -- all in a row on the wall. I always kept the toilet seat down b/c Buster cat loved to run in at top speed and jump from floor to toilet seat to sink to window ledge! TA DA!
One morning I was standing at the sink brushing my teeth and heard a loud splash .... looking down I saw the world's angriest, wettest cat hauling himself out of the toilet bowl. Knowing that I dare not laugh in front of him (It would be a death sentence!), I ran into the other room with my hand clamped over my mouth, drooling toothpaste out of my nose. Buster cat obviously saw through my petty attempt at subterfuge, and promptly jumped into the middle of the bed and dried himself on my sheets. Then he peed on them.
We never spoke of this incident again ....
