Is your kitty a voyeur? o_o

I'm a big fan of baths - the long, two-hour, with-a-book variety - and indulge frequently. The kittens love to sit on the ledge or occasionally on a body part that's sticking out of the water! Lately they've also taken to sitting on the ledge during a shower when the curtain is closed, or even poking their heads around it - naughty kitties!

I don't let them get in the water because I don't want them to get chilled - I keep the house pretty cool; but I think it's fun how they are not frightened at all, even of the thunderous faucet when it's running my bath. One of these days they might end up going swimming if I'm not quick enough!

Does your cat enjoy sharing bath/shower time with you??

Trout has in the past sat right on the edge of the tub...but she doesn't do it much in her old age

When I lived alone with Callie, she used to sit on the ledge between the shower curtain and liner every morning when I showered. She would sing with me, too! As she got older and we moved to a house, she would just lay on the rug in the bathroom while I showered. I so miss her!!

Hannah waits for me to open the shower curtain when I finish my morning shower. She then jumps in and starts licking the water off the tub. I always make sure to rinse the curtain, walls, and tub well before I finish my shower. Does she have me trained or what?

Stephanie - mine do the same! About the licking I mean. The way the water is treated must taste good. I try to discourage them, though - I fill their bowls with bottled water as I certainly don't drink my tap water and won't let them, either! I grew up with well water, and city water just isn't the same. I can smell the chlorine. Yuck!

Just got out of my bath - check out the reason behind this post -

Peanut is! He'll sit down right on the mat outside the shower- I have a glass door shower stall, the tub is separate- and watch my every move. He'll sometimes raise up on his back paws to paw at the door. He won't ever come in, but he sure acts like he wants me to get out faster!

Aya liked to watch me bathe, after setting off the kitty alarm. "Mew! Mew!" I think she was trying to say "OMG, what are you doing stewing yourself in a pot of hot water!"

My foster kitty Cuddles also likes to observe the bathing.

Let's just put it this way!

I live alone and haven't had a moment of privacy in all of the years that I've had cats! I poop, they;re in there doing the same or just watching me. I shower, they watch!

Cindy sits on the edge of the tub when DH is taking his bath. They both like to watch running water.

This is so funny! When I come home from work and have to take a shower right away, Maia meows and howls till I let her in with me, then jumps up on the sink so she can watch my shadow as I occasionally peek out and give her kisses !

We have a bunch of voyeurs, I guess.

Or, more accurately, probably petting opportunists. Ella waits until she hears the shower door close twice, then comes in the bathroom for attention while we dry off. Flambe comes in when he hears the shower quit running; he wants to chase hands behind the glass.

Punkin comes in and gets on the divider between the tub and shower, begging for attention.

Sterling got on Dottie's chest the other night while she was taking a long bath and reading.

Misa hates baths so I don't think she will be interested. Same thing with my older sisters cats.

3 out of my 4 are terrible pests when I'm in the bathroom doing *anything*. If I so much as brush my teeth I have an audience and Swiffer tries to piddle with the water. She love water. I don't take many baths but sometimes I turn on the whirlpool in the tub and relax in it. They all sit on the edge watching and Swiffer does just about everything she can to play with the water. She fell in once but did not care much for actually being *in* the water. She also fell in the toilet once which I could not stop laughing about. Where is the cam when you need it?

Hannah fell into the toilet ONCE and never again! Now she's a bit more cautious when jumping up on the toilet.

Holland loves to be in the bathroom with me. I'm not a bath person, but when I shower she likes to sit on the tub between the liner and the curtain. And she's another who likes to get in the tub after I shower and lick up the water. I swear, the places that girl gets her water from you'd think that I don't leave a fresh bowl out for her every day...

Lynxx used to take showers with me Luna and Midnight aren't allowed in the bathroom.

Lucky used to bite my butt when I got out of the shower.

I've LOVED reading all these responses! What a weird, wild bunch we all have!

I agree, Natalie - I live alone as well and they are ALWAYS in the bathroom no matter what I'm doing!

NutroMike, a few weeks ago the boys fell into the toilet when I neglected to put the cover down. It was almost bedtime and I'd already fed them and closed my door for the evening (they don't sleep long enough to be bedkitties yet, unfortunately). They NEVER scratch or mewl to get in so when I heard the frantic howling at my door I knew something was up. At first I thought their fur was darkened with poop as this was about a week after I'd gotten them and they still had a bit of diarrhea from my switching their food too quickly. I looked through my tiny house for it and it wasn't there. Then I noticed the tracks of water in the bathroom leading away from the toilet - and the toilet seat completely covered in water - LOL!!!

Poor dears. It did stroke my ego to know they wanted Mama for some soothing! My guess is they were fighting and doing the "bounce" thing where their feet are like springs - one sprung up onto the toilet, the other followed, and oops! I've been much more careful to keep the cover down since then, but I still bitterly regret not having witnessed it

When I take my hour long bath (I too enjoy it with a good book), Monet decides to relax in the sink next to the tub. He'd curl in there and nap when I relax, lol.

I used to LOVE taking hot bubble baths...and then came Google... he eats the bubbles so I can't use them any more... tried the bath salts. He puts his whole tail in the water to let it soak... seesh! He also sits between the curtain and the liner when I shower. Joey has been getting locked in the bathroom with us because he has been stuffy. He doesn't care fore it...
