Do they follow you in the bathroom?

Yep, all the time, and ususually at least 3 out of the 4 of them (and my bathroom is dairly small for one person and 3 cats to be in there!

Boomer also insists on supervising baths (and also likes a 'spongebath') while Scully supervises showers, he sits on the toilet lid meowing as loud as he can

I have 3 bathrooms, and each cat has a preference for not only which bathroom, but the time of day that I'm in there. Muddy is always in the master bathroom when I get up in the middle of the night. Koko is in there for the morning shower. Pinky, Spanky, Stumpy, Sage and Dakota all follow me into the hallway bathroom.

I know cats like to supervise, but has anyone had a cat jump up behind you to watch? Bob used to do that, until the day he stuck a paw into the bowl behind me and made me jump. He's been discouraged ever since.

I have no cats, but I do have a dog, and Opie will sometimes follow me in there.

When I have the "grandpuppies" Tootsie ALWAYS follows me to the potty, I nickname him Shadow when his mama and daddy are gone, cause he is always following me around.

Yuppers - both of them. Jacob loves to pace on the side of the tub if I'm in there - I put him out now since the time he slipped and fell in - that wasn't fun! You never saw a wet cat move so fast before!

The boys haven't followed DH in the bathroom in a while. After the whole 3am peeing on 8-Bit issue, they've both learned to stay away or they may have to get a bath.

Y'all are killing me!

Jake follows me in the bathroom. And he'll jump in my lap too. Funny little kiddies!

I have no idea what it is like to go to the bathroom by myself anymore. If Luna isn't there, Whitey is.

Either case they BOTH expect to get love and attention...

Ummm...guys it's just not always a good time for love and attention in the bathroom.

Nah, I shut the door so Reeses can't come in. She usually waits outside the door until we come out, especially in the morning when we're getting ready for work.

Not only do I have an audience of Tavia, Lilly the rat terrier, and Macy the boxer but when I am trying to take a bath since my showerhead broke and dad hasn't fixed it, Macy thinks she should try to give me kisses on the cheek since I am at her level. And she will try to jump in the tub with me and let me tell you that is not a fun thing. And Lilly will try to lick my arm while I am trying to get my bath. Its an event every time.

You are a "captive audience" and that makes it the perfect time for skritches.

With 9 cats, I've given up on the idea of bathroom privacy...Actually, only about 5 are "regulars". Jasmine (the Maine Coon) waits by the bathtub every morning, meowing to me to hurry me up (to bathe), as she likes to watch me, and sometimes puts a paw in the water. She also grumbles at me to hurry up and spread the towel on over the toilet seat lid, so she can sit on it (I dry my legs and feet this way). She actually gets angry if I don't move fast enough! I sometimes think her water fascination is due to her breed.

Loki and Willi come in to watch me bathe, as well, and try to drink the water out of the tub while I'm bathing. (I should mention that I shower in the morning for cleanliness, and take a bath at night to relax before bed.) Marge used to come in, but lately, hasn't. When I took my first bath in the new house, she was walking around the tub surround...then I felt claws in my back--she had slipped behind me, and was holding on for dear life! She also has the dubious distinction of being the only cat I've ever seen hanging from a bra in the bathroom. In our apartment, I used to hand wash my lingerie, and hang it over the shower head to dry. One day, I moved my bra to the doorknob, to remind me to take it out. Marge was in there; I was in the tub. I happened to glance over, to see her in the bra, hanging from the doorknob, as if in a sling! She never made a sound, just wobbled her head toward me in a silent, "Help!"

We now have 3 bathrooms; hubby and I each have our own. The cats never go into his, and bother him! Only once: in the middle of the night, he got up to use his bathroom (which is attached to the master bedroom). I was awoken by, "No, kitty, don't drink that, that's DIRTY!!! NO!!! Leave me alone!!!" (Use your imagination here.) God, I was laying in bed, convulsed with laughter! The visuals THAT one provoked...

Let's not even talk about what happens when I use the porcelain throne. All I will say is that it's nice in an unheated bathroom...

yep my kitties sure do follow me in the bathroom and sometimes the dogs do! Bella will alwyas follow me in and she will walk in and rub all over me and jump in my lap, Stormie will go in the bathroom with me and sniff the floor out a little bit and then climb my leg! Midnight goes in and usually sits on top of the toilet looking over u and Willie he will jump in your lap or sit by your feet for you to pet him !!!

Oh, MargeCat!

Yup - all 5 - everytime. No privacy at all, ever. Whether I"m just brushing my teeth, bathing, or using the toilet.

my big cat does it and so does my kitten. Ginger (my big cat) used to sit int eh basin while i had a shower until one day I poked my head out to grab shampoo and he realised i was covered in WATER!!! He freaked out and i had to let him out because he was so scared. I'm not sure if it was just the water or the fact I looked different! But he doesnt follow me in anymore.
Buttons usually climbs onto my lap when i go to the toilet, especially f its nighttime.

Yep, both of mine follow me into the bathroom. 95% of the time there are in the same room as me and close to me. It's cute.

Yup, they love hanging out while I'm in there. They usually jump in the bath tub and watch from there for some strange reason. And Stumpy likes to sit on the bathroom counter anytime we're in the bathroom.

Weird cats.

Oh yeah, I'm not allowed to go to the bathroom by myself! Thats the special lovin' place for Siam and myself. Spud always has to come in too, but he usually leaves with a look of disgust when he he sees Siam in my lap and Siam's head resting on the TP roll!!!
