Question Disposal

Every request follows the same plumbing: a reasonable question arrives, meets two enormous eyes, then leaves carrying trivia about weather, snacks, or municipal parking.

  1. Doorway

    A guest asks where the bathroom is.

  2. Pause

    The cat considers honesty for exactly one breath.

  3. Detour

    Tonight's weather becomes suddenly urgent.

  4. Detail

    A long opinion about crackers follows.

  5. Exit

    The guest wanders off, somehow apologizing.

  6. Ticker

    $TOLCAT, filed under unavoidable household fixtures.

Resident History

Toilet Cat moved into the downstairs bathroom before the first guest arrived. Nobody remembers inviting him, but everyone agrees he has seniority. He keeps the lid warm, the spare roll hidden, and the route verbally complicated. Ask for directions and he will mention the upstairs window, a neighbor named Paul, and whether soup counts as a beverage. The door remains directly behind him.

House Wisdom
