I’d say “cat bed”, except it’s plushy and comfortable, which means it will be immediately snubbed in favor of something much more obvious, like a printer tray.
Trevor-Hotep: Nice to meet you, Tommy. I have a special gift for you. Here is a bucket of Blossoms of Blessing.
Tommy: That’s even more than a bouquet!
Trev: These are a special assignment. You may keep one, but you must give all the rest away.
Trevor-Hotep: Now, Tommy, you hold onto Violet-Ifa’s paw and think where and when you want to be.
Tommy: Do I need to click my heels together (Do I even have heels?) and say anything.
Trevor-Hotep: That’s only if you want to go to Kansas.
Violet-Ifa: Alright, ready?
Tommy: Let’s go.
Back in 2022
Beatrix: Tommy! I wondered where you’d gone to. And why is Violet dressed like that?
Tommy: This is Violet’s ancestor, Violet-Ifa.
Bea: Oh, you must be Vi’s Nana Infinity. I’ve heard about you.
Violet-Ifa: That’s right. I thought after I gathered up all the stray space-time anemones I’d take some time to visit with her before I went back to Ancient Egypt.
Tommy: And now to give away all my Blossoms of Blessing.
Ugh, I dislike toilet clothing with a passion! It is one of my pet peeves.
The other one is – and I have only seen it twice in 60 years – wall to wall carpet in the bathroom. Who puts carpet in a bathroom?? When I moved into my house it was the first thing I ripped out because, well, EWW.
Don’t you need to clean behind the toilets with bleach? I do!
What about homes with men/boys who sometimes miss?
Yuk. The only soft surface in a bathroom IMO should be towels and a (washable!) bath mat.
My mom used to have the coordinating tank cover, too. My dad said Heck No! Until Heck freezes over, not in MY bathroom! Heck No! Of course I’m using a very polite term to what he really said!
Loaner Cat would not like that at all. Nope, no way, not a chance. Nothing to do with anything like that. Nothing fluffy, nothing sparkly, nothing…zzzzzzzzzzz
I’m comforted to see so many of the comments being anti-dribble-catchers. I love Georgia (in a totally virtual, non-stalkery way) but The Woman is often clueless!
The toilet seat cover is the worst! What women often don’t realize is that they often prevent the lid from staying up on its own. So you have to hold the cover and lid up while taking care of business. Much more annoying than you might imagine.
Somewhere in the background, Randy Travis is singing, “Operator, please connect me with 1982 …”
I realize I’m a guy, with guy sensibilities, but I wasn’t aware that essentially gluing rubber to carpet remnant and putting it on a toilet was a thing that lasted beyond my childhood.
While the children are no longer carrying litter in their pants, I am not sure they are quite ready for this bathroom extravagance. Meanwhile, I sympathize with Lupin on the utter mystery that is people.
Actually, this sort of thing started in the 1950s. My mother had them, but they were only deployed when we had guests. When the guests left, they were immediately put in the wash—not the laundry hamper, the wash.
I’ve even seen actual seat covers, as well as lid covers. Shudder.
Now all the Woman needs is a crochet doll with a ruffle skirt to sit on a roll of TP nestled right about where Pick is sitting. It has to be the doll version, the TP top hat style cover would not be nearly as good.
My brothers furball, Daisey, used to jump up on the seat and nurse and chill. One day, I’m sitting in the porch, she strides into the bath. Suddenly, I hear a feline screech and a splash. A minute later a soggy head peers around the doorjamb, looks around, locks eyes on me and disappears. Another minute, and with what little dignity she can muster, she primly struts out of the loo, shaking one delicate paw at a time. As she gets to the kitchen door, she shoots me a look, like, "NOT. ONE. WORD ! " and continues on her way. Apparently someone left the seat up.
Unfortunately, those fuzzy accessories are just thick enough to cause the toilet lid to fall down unexpectedly.
There has been some bizarre speculation from (I assume) female commenters about what happens when the lid falls. It makes a loud, distracting noise. Sometimes the distraction makes a mess. That’s it!

Did they also get the little matching rug that goes at the base of the toilet? That’s where the germs REALLY congregate.

Loo covers, the subject
Of the latest news story
Cats rest there so gladly
It’s where they want to be
Others may be jealous
‘Cause it’s the comfiest yet
Sometimes it would be easy
To be the only pet
Don’t flush, don’t flush so
(Please don’t flush)
Don’t flush so close to me
(So close to me)
