Locking the cat out of the bathroom while y'all are at work, but I bet your cat already has had a key made.

And we won't even go there with why he has to flush multiple times.

I still have such poor experiences with toilets that they will pry my old, water-inefficient, toilets out of my cold, dead hands.

We have ~5 softening/iron remover/neutralizing tanks before it comes inside.

But they do a good job - it returns to the water table via the septic system & filtration - and all it costs is the electricity/salt/neutralizing products for all the water we want.

often required more than one flush. I use one that regularly requires 3, and sometimes 4 (even just for urine and a bit of toilet paper).

I'd blame it on adjustment to the new regulations on water efficiency (and the cost of replacing the bad first post-regulation models) - except that the regulations are no longer old, and this particular toilet is less than 3 years old.

And - when it isn't refusing to dispose of the waste deposited in it, it is giving me a free shower.

It is likely only available as a commercial model.

I think its issue (unlike the early low consumption toilets) is bowl design. It both catches the toilet paper (with not enough water flow in the area of the catch to wash it down), and is at an angle to the inflow when there isn't paper to flush to make the relatively high pressure water hit and bounce. I get a shower about every other week.

(And it's not that I use an unuaual amount of paper - it just happened with a twin of the toilet I usually use with about 5 squares of paper and nothing solid. Further, at least once a day I come in and find someone else's mess still in the toilet.)

He's not funny; he understands nothing about water efficiency.

All he exists to do is stick a finger in the eye of people trying to make the world a better place.
