When she would start walking in, I would say “ah ah” and lift my foot. The foot lifting was to get her attention. Now she knows the verbal command.

Do it.

Nope! Never lived in the US.

This building is in Kazakhstan, and it is definitely a little older.

I’ll be sure to let her know! Thank you.

You go about it in a misguided way. I’m a native English speaker. Hell, I’m an English teacher.

It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to have fun with my words. Despite what I called it, you knew what I meant; therefore, the comment is wholly unnecessary and unhelpful.

Thanks!

Thank you!

We sometimes use the term in Canada as well, though it’s considered dated or used for one with a toilet and a sink (what we now call a half-bath). I enjoyed my solution.

Yup. As suggested by my Kazakh students. :)

Thank you!

I agree! Some toilets in Japan have a bit of a sink the top of the toilet tank. Unfortunately, this one does not, which means you need to go into another room to wash your hands.

Haha. I didn’t know that! Apparently it’s a common name for cats here, and it is adorable.

I am working at an international school in Kazakhstan. Asked the students for a name. Apparently it means “cat” in Kazakh.

People without imagination, sure.

I will let her know!

I assure you that “toilet closet” is correct. It’s the size of a closet and only has a toilet in it.

Thank you!

Same….. it’s an apartment I’m renting in a foreign country, so just something to deal with. :/

Nope. The room the toilet is in is just incredibly small. There’s only the toilet in the room.

Thank you! She was found on the street here. :(

Haha. It is a toilet closet though! It’s as wide as the doorframe and only has a toilet in it.
