Why? Why do all cats do this?

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (3 children)

My wife’s theory is that the cat equates our bathroom time to us being ‘vulnerable’ and that they are just checking in on us to make sure we are okay.

Little fuckers.

Mine will sometimes feel rowdy and chase me into the bathroom to bite my ankles. It's good to know that, deep down, he's just concerned about my safety.

part of it is that cats (like dogs) see taking a shit as being vulnerable, so they're keeping an eye out for you. Their instincts predatemodern plumbing.

Not mine, mine just knows she has a captive audience and I'm forced to pet while I poo.

Cats simply hate closed doors. They need to know what's going on behind and why do you close them out. Most of the time ours don't even follow in the bathroom, they simply stand in the door preventing you from closing it or keep one paw in the door. It's like a little game of chasing for them.
