Is our Cat watching our backs while using the bathroom?

[cattivo!!]

My Fiance and I have a second cat named gravy, every time we go to use the bathroom he usually follows us and stands at the door and looks the other way. Is he protecting us? And does anyone else have a cat who does it? (Only photo I could get, bear with me lol)

I've never had a cat who didn't do this!
Yep, he's protecting you while you are vulnerable.
Ghost and Magnus prefer to 'go' where we are too and will choose the closest litter box.
Cal spent his babyhood in a busyier home and likes to choose the quietest box now. (5 siblings, plus mom and some RCS at his fosters lovely home)

A very good sign that he loves you. He's supervising you.

Sitting guarding you is a good thing! And more subtle than my two ... when they're not synchronising by using the litter while I'm at the loo, they're sitting on the laundry basket (which is right beside the toilet) watching me, or in Phoebe's case, jumping onto my lap, climbing up to my shoulder, and demanding cuddles while washing my face!

Yep. And, my girl would sit on the edge of the tub when I bathed, apparently concerned that I might drown. She was properly horrifed that I would choose to pull off my fake fur and sit about in deep puddles of water. Dangerous stuff, that!

I'm not sure about Bond since hes new but Indy can be a bit pervy at times even going as far as to sit in my underpants while I pee. I usualy just lock her out.

Hadji used to do that!

If it fits they sits!

Hadj' would guard the loo even when it was unoccupied.
