A scene from Meet the Parents 2000
Greg

Pam, I didn't know you had a cat.

Pam

Yeah, I left him here when I moved to Chicago.

Dina

Your daddy's found his new best friend. You won't believe it. He even taught him to use the potty.

Pam

He did? Dad, that's kinda weird, isn't it?

Jack

What's so weird about it? Now we don't have to smell kitty litter all the time. That's right.

Greg

That's incredible. How did you teach the cat to use the toilet?

Jack

Oh, that was easy, Greg. I just designed a litter box to put inside the toilet, and then once he got used to it, I took it away.

Greg

Yeah, makes sense.

Dina

But I don't think he likes it. I mean, every chance he gets, he tries to dig, squat and bury. I had to move all my potted plants off the floor.

Greg

Plus, you got another guy around the house to leave the seat up.

Jack

[The family stares at him blankly.]

He can't lift the seat, Greg. He lacks the strength and the opposable thumbs. Yeah.

Greg

[Long pause]

Ah, right. Opposable-- I didn't think about that.
