I think toilets have changed a lot. I have a Toto toilet that uses something like .7 gallons a flush and I am fairly sure is easily capable of flushing a cat or, at least, a large russet potato.
30 years ago a toilet needed 5 gallons and would clog if you used more than 12 inches of toilet paper.

- Wistar 7y agoFair call and I was wrong. I have two, one is the Toto Drake II and uses 1.28 gallons per flush. The other is an Aquia IV dual flush which uses either 0.8 gals or 1.0 gals per flush. https://www.totousa.com/aquia-iv-1g-toilet-10-08-gpf https://www.totousa.com/aquia-iv-1g-toilet-10-08-gpf
- speedplane 7y agoI was more interested in the cat claim.
- Wistar 7y agoThat's just a guess. I don't have a cat to test it with and I like my russet potatoes too much to try and flush one.
- stevenicr 7y agoWhile they may have changed in many ways - as far as the UX for the average user, it's been a lever to press to make it flush. Now I still see new low flow ones that have levers, and some new ones have 2 buttons. Of course there are those that auto-sense arrive/leave in some commercial establishments... But to the average user they have no changed that much I think - most still have a lever, if you can't find it and you are looking in that general area you will see the two buttons and likely press one to see if it flushes.. and press it again if it doesn't flush enough.. just like the old ones :)
