Do your cats follow you into the bathroom?

mine does, and he has even learnt how to open the door, he always has to come and sit on my lap when im minding my own business and he will sit and scratch at the glass door and watch me when im showering.
When i lived at my parents he loved to sit by the tub and eat the bubbles.

It was so funny 2 weeks ago i was asking my bf why he was taking extra long in the bathroom and his reply was "i cant even wipe my self because gatto wont let me do anything except for petting him"

They try to but I shut the door. If I'm in a hurry and I only half close the door then I get two very curious puppies barging in on me!

Mine HAVE to be in with ANYONE who uses our bathroom! It can be embarrassing at times, but I see it as "If you want to visit you have to follow the cat's rules!"

Tango loves showers She sits at the very end of the tub, gets soaking wet, and gets very angry when you get out!

That's so cute!

Oh yes! Scratchy slinks around my feet when I'm sitting on the loo, and when I'm in the shower she sits in the basin watching me with her little head cocked to one side - so adorable one day I'm going to have to try and get a photo. When she was super tiny she used to launch herself at the glass screening to try and get over the top of it into the shower with me. She also used to climb up the shower curtain which has left a couple of tears in it. Now, if I stick my finger through one of the tears and wiggle it, it makes her go wild and she tries to kill it. So sweet...

Everytime i go Rosie and Sophie have to follow!!

I'm pretty sure I haven't gone to the bathroom by myself in my apartment since i got the boys. If I'm (how do I put this) using the facilities Gandalf wants to be on my lap and Samwise will jump into the tub and lay down. If I'm taking a bath, Gandalf will hop on the side of the tub and play with the water. He'll dunk his paws in and just let his tail hang down while Samwise curls up on the bath mat. However if I'm in the shower they both cry then I'll peak around the curtain and it will stop but the moment I duck back behind the curtain they start again. Needless to say, I take many more baths than showers, yes they do have me trained.

I think the more appropriate question would be: "do any of your cats NOT follow you into the bathroom?". I have added to their pleasure by placing their food bowls on the dryer which is in the bathroom. They can visit with mom and dad AND get a snicky snack at the same time!

Mine jump on the toilet seat (closed) upon entry, which is their staircase to the dryer. I usually have to move a cat or 2 (or 3) before I can lift the lid and do my thing.

Yup! If he gets shut outside he guards the door until I'm done. When he does come in with me he usually is investgating the tub.

Few of ours didn't follow us into the bathroom! The toilet is next to the tub and provides a handy perch to sit on while you are taking care of business. Most importantly - you are expected to skritch them constantly until you are finished.

And we did have one who fell in the toilet when she tried to run across it before I could put the lid down. Yes, she had to have a bath. (Guinevere - RB)

My Scampi sits on my lap while im using the loo,and when im in the bath he will sit on the corner,until i finished.
He has learnt not to jump in now as mummys lap isnt the same when its under water...lol

I guess my cats are perverted. The are fasinated when I take a bath.

I haven't showered with the bathroom door closed in over 2 years. And Lucy loves to sit on my lap while I "take care of business." No privacy in my house.

Havent used the restroom for many years without someone coming in for a visit

Yes! Simple and Pippin don't like me to go in the bathroom without them. Morris occasionally visits as well.
When Merry was alive, he and Pippin would take turns getting on the edge of the tub and peeking around, trying to see what was going on. Merry and Pippin have also fallen into the tub with me anytime I've taken a bath.
Pippin learned how to jump on the bathroom door so he can look over the shower curtain while I'm showering.
Other Pippin tricks include jumping on my back while I'm brushing my teeth, climbing in my pants when I'm on the "throne", and scratching at the guest towels hanging behind my head.
They also like to have the faucet turned on to get a drink, when I'm in there.
Closing the door doesn't help. It doesn't latch and they will team up on it to bust it open.

Obi watches while I shower. I also set a box upside down next to the tub when I'm taking a bath, because he likes to dabble his paws in the water and be with me. When I didn't give him a perch, he'd get onto the rim of the tub and climb onto my chest! He likes to drink the bathwater while I'm in it, too. As for using the toilet, he always runs when I flush it but when I lean forward to us TP he sticks his head in to look! I think the rustling noise is what does it. I can't lock him out or he'll whine about it.

I didn't know there was such a thing as a cat that doesn't follow humans into the bathroom...


I keep the litterbox in the bathroom, so that door is NEVER closed.

oh my... sara loves the bathroom... she attacks everything you touch toilet paper, tampons, the trash bag(the rustle of course) and as soon as your done you better close the toilet seat cuz she jumps right up there as soon as you stand, she almost fell in before it was flushed once no i set the seat down as i am standing... when perched on top of the toilet she stretches her self out and puts her front paws on the side of think and then rest her head on them and watches you wash your hands.... if you are bathing or showering, she tries to help by getting on the side and splashing water, or if it is late she will lie peacefully atop the toilet seat and keep watch over you
cute, but strange... i CANNOT use the bathroom when the door is open or someone else is around, but that all changed when i got a cat

Both my cats do. My female cat always wants to sit in my lap and my male cat will paw at me to hold him and pick him up as well. I think they do that, and this sounds weird, but I think its because they sense we are "relaxed" at that time.

My former roommate's cat, Chilly, loved to follow me into the bathroom when I was taking showers ( I think he liked the steam). He'd sit on the bathtub ledge, between the 2 shower curtains, so he could stay dry but watch me (yup, definitely a male) or just bat at me from around the curtain. It was a hoot.
