Seat down at home so the wife doesn't freak on me and the way I found it when visiting.
A friend of mine is so cheap he doesn't even flush. I flush first at his house and leave my golden stream for him. |

This is one of those "vive la difference" situations. However, I do agree with leaving things as you found them when visiting someone's home.
The thing that perplexes me is guys who drop pants and underwear down to their ankles to use a urinal. WTH??

I've had 20 some odd cats in my lifetime and their running water fixation is not a generalization.
Cats have poor close eyesight, they can't focus on anything closer than about a foot and they can't see anything under their noses.
They literally can not see clean standing water in their dish which is why you see them tap it when they go to drink.
Moving water gets their attention hence their interest in faucets and toilets.
If you have cats do them a favor and get a watering fountain.
They'll hydrate more and stay healthier.
