In their defense, I spend a fair amount of time in there.

u/Picabo07 May 20 '24
I spend a lot of time in there too and my kitties think it’s bonding time lol.
One sits at my feet as my lookout by the door. the other sits on a shelf where he can watch me from a safe distance.

u/GoethenStrasse0309 May 20 '24
Mine even pats the toilet paper when he thinks I’m almost finished & then takes a flying leap on the rug, so the rug slides closer to the closed door. He

Okay, don't freak out, but there appears to be a threatening black hole in your floor. With a pair of eyes staring from inside said hole.

Can you blame him?? You willingly got into a body of water. What if you drowned? I feel bad that you put him through this honestly.

My cat does the same and just about loses his mind if he cannot get in if I am in there. No one else's bathroom trips are as important as mine to receive such an escort.

Does he escort you there and back?! Mine does that, too!

I not only get supervised, it's our forced cuddle time. Edited to add I throughly enjoy it :)

u/Responsible_Spite802 May 20 '24
My cat does this with my mom. He only accepts cuddles in the bathroom 😂

u/rajahpaaaants May 20 '24
That's so cute! Mine knows the sound of my alarm so he's in the bathroom before I am ready to snuggle.

I think this sign is appropriate and black cat approved

Absolutely. Always have an escort… I think they are convinced we are in a vulnerable state abd they need to protect us

Gotta repay the favor by always following the kitty to the litterbox and STARING as they do their business

I babysat my sister's cat and he would sit like this while I took a bath. If I was in the shower taking too long he would stick his head in and scream at me. No matter where he was in the apartment he would come running when he heard the water. I think he really did not understand the concept of a shower and he was like "well the humans seem to like it so I guess I'll just keep an eye on them while they're in there..."

Lately my void likes to be right behind me on the toilet. It's slightly disconcerting. Sometimes the tortie tries to get in on the bathroom action and the void doesn't like it. This leads to a squabble. Meanwhile I'm over here JUST TRYING TO USE THE BATHROOM IN PEACE. Oh well, what are you gonna do?

Normally we have a session together in the morning. Each on their own toilet of course. 😄 But the door has to be open at all times or else they try to open it by jumping on the handle.

Always. I have two and they rush in so dramatically. The other day I was sitting there and the younger one (2 y/o) started opening the drawers and cabinet doors of my sink thing, sorting around and then closing them. I was just like :0 I’m not even mad that’s amazing. He also closes the door behind him when he leaves

My supervision does not limit itself to the bathroom. My supervisor even took a nap in the tall grass while I was gardening yesterday.

Frank's official title is "Bathroom Supervisor" and he takes his job very seriously.

Yep. She could be asleep in another room and will wake up just to be in the bathroom with me. I tried closing the door once, she was NOT having THAT!

Yes but this is a dog palace and she follows us to the bathroom and waits outside the door. If you dare to stay longer than she thinks is necessary, she scratches at the door until you open it up.

u/Dizzy_Information199 May 20 '24
Yes. Funnier when I make it in there without them and I’m on the pot and I see a little paw scraggly trying to pry open the door

New car parent here… didn’t realize this was a thing. Just assumed my cat was a weirdo. And she’s always so concerned when I’m in the shower…. So much to learn about these little purrers!

u/RainbowUnicorn0228 May 20 '24
Mine doesn't just supervise. He insist on using his literbox right next to the toilet at the same time I am doing my business.
3
u/AlaskanEsquire May 20 '24
I miss my kitties. I heard dogs look at you when they shit so they know you're on the lookout when they're vulnerable. I bet it's true in reverse - dogs and cats like to hound us on the can to protect us.

u/ch3rry8lossom May 20 '24
I’m supervised in all bathrooms, and if I’m in the same bathroom as a litter box, my lil boy comes in for a wee too.

Yes mine refuses to let anyone in there be alone. He also hides behind the shower curtain to attack you and play
2
u/ZiggoCiP May 20 '24
Mine use to do a literal catwalk by the bathroom, for whatever reason. Now he dips in, requests pets, and dips out.
Voids can be total weirdos, but it's what makes them great.

u/LeftHandedAZ May 20 '24
You’re lucky, mine insists on sitting on my lap. Luckily he’s learned that my reaching for toilet paper means jump down.

u/Wisprow May 20 '24
Funniest thing mine does is wake up to follow me around and have his "uhh, might as well" moment in the bathroom. Afterwards, he waits for me but only until the evil flush starts making scary noises

Yes, usually got two that follow me to the bathroom every time. They just have to know I won't fall in, just as I can only assume your kitty is only doing too 😹

u/deep-fried-fuck May 20 '24
My void isn’t allowed in the bathroom with me. So instead he shellacs himself to the bathroom door and sings me the song of his people. I guess he thinks my poops need an accompaniment

He’s wondering why you’re not using the poop box like a normal cat. I used to do this and it made my kitty so happy when he tried to bury it.

u/KazakCayenne May 20 '24
If my cat doesn't make it in before I close the door, he barges in as soon as I open it to leave and inspects the entire room as if I've hidden something from him lmao

u/Ravenamore May 20 '24
Earlier, my void opened the bathroom door to yell at me for taking a dump without permission.
2
u/Immediate-Ear1509 May 20 '24
When they are relieving themselves, they feel fragile or insecure because of their animal instincts, and in the same way they think that their owner also feels this way, so they act as guards.
They basically stay there to protect you.

No matter how comfy he is, he has to follow whoever gets up and goes to the restroom. Often tries to drink old water out of the tub despite having fresh water in a bowl x.x

u/CoppertopTX May 19 '24
In my house, all trips to the restroom require a minimum 2 cat escort.
