Today I received an email responding to a Craigslist ad about a room we are looking to fill in our apartment. "I have a weird question," the girl told me.
"Would your roommates mind sharing a bathroom with a cat?" she asked.

I messaged back, "Sure, they love cats."
I assumed, of course, that she meant the litter box would be in the bathroom. This felt normal to me.
"Really? Are you sure it's not weird?" she asked.

I was confused. "Nope, will probably be fine!" I replied. Litter boxes can go anywhere. What is this girl's deal.
"The main problem is," she said, "he doesn't know how to flush."
It was then, dear readers, that I understood.
Her next message contained only a single photograph.
