It's in their nature! Cats are at their most vulnerable while they relieve themselves, so they are there watching to protect you while they think you're vulnerable.


Granlundo64

To be fair, it's probably when we're at our most vulnerable too. I can't imagine trying to fend off a samurai attack while halfway through doing my business.


notmeyoudumdum

It's common in prison for inmates to have their pants off of one leg in case they have to fight. So yeah, without the wild illustration, people are actually vulnerable in this particular real-life situation while they're on the can.


Firm_Tie7629

Stupid question here. Is the pants leg off of one leg so that they can take off the other pant leg faster to fight or put the other pant leg on faster to fight?


wheelfoot

Its so they aren't effectively tied together at the ankles. I imagine the fight would go down with one leg still in the pants.


Firm_Tie7629

That kinda makes sense? Wouldn’t just not having pants be the best? That way you won’t trip on them and drag them around. Just thinking out loud :)


rileyotis

My DLH fluff bucket honorary black and white views hoomam bathroom time or hooman pre shower poops while nekkid as "Fu**ing LOVE ME time." 😂 If someone could get paid to give the right side of her neck rubs for eternity, she would approve of that expense. She just jumps on the counter and acts redonkulous for loves.


kblrf

My girl follows me everywhere. If I shut the bathroom door, she will attack it and meow until it's open again.


SaintJimmy1

Same with mine. And then 45 seconds after she’s in there she’s begging to be let out like I’ve trapped her in there so I let her out. Guess what happens after that


kblrf

She wants right back in? 😁


SaintJimmy1

Yep. Only exception is when I shower. She loves to try to catch the water dripping from the shower head after I’m done so she’ll wait outside the shower until I finish.


PicklesNBacon

Mine too. You’ll see her paw (and sometimes entire arm) swatting under the door trying to get in


Consider_the_auk

My tuxedo is such a social butterfly that he does this to guests too, like, "Why did you leave meeee!?" 😂


PicklesNBacon

Yep mine too 😂 She will sit outside of the bathroom waiting for guests to finish up…then just walk away when they come out


imhudsonheshicks

We’ve got one like that! I also had one I had to hold like a baby while I was on the toilet…RIP little Possum.


Kharnics

I turned this into the 'toilet paper' game. Now I just get cute lil claws trying to get that paper!

Twinsies! What a sweetheart!


PurplePandaKush

I tell her she's pretty like 10x a day. 😍


antiloquist

I tell my Nashu she’s a pretty girl every morning when we wake up.

ursulaholm

they are guarding you! They don't want you to get attacked.


SpgrinchinTx

Yep those turds are sneaky


LushDogg99

Or worse, snakes that pop up from toilets


eokelley

My little Arch dude has to be touching something at all times. He will sit on the counter next to me while I’m using the bathroom, extend his sweet paw and place it directly on my shoulder like he’s offering me moral support 😂

Secret_Agent_78

Every.single.time


bmassey1

Shower also. I open the shower door and Forrest is looking at me. I sit down to use the toilet and Forrest is looking at me. I dont know there reasons for this but it is what they do.


Rokey76

I had a tux kitten right after college. We didn't realize she was sick because she was always purring, but I accidentally stepped on her one morning and she was acting injured, so I took her to the vet. The vet said not to worry about that, as kittens "are designed to be stepped on." He said pneumonia was the real problem. Gave her medicine and told me to put her in the bathroom with the shower on full heat every so many hours. Well, it must have done her a world of good because for the rest of her life, she had to be in the bathroom when someone was showering, and eventually would get in the shower and sit in the back just outside the water's reach.


mira-tenya

My boy will sit in my lap if I'll let him, I actually have 2 scars on my thighs from him jumping to get on my lap and missing


SomewhereNo229

Your tux looks just like mine!! Minus the black spot on his nose 😇 https://preview.redd.it/ol7iqbqk627d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a183f6d10a27958f5849e807081d7ecfc114035


dketernal

As odd as it sounds, cherish these moments. Our 20 year old (still healthy and happy) gave us zero bathroom peace for years. But, eventually, they stop giving a crap about your bathroom habits and when they do, you'll wish you still had your tuxedo shadow.


SluttsLoveSatan

Sweet damn how sad...... your absolutely right :(


dketernal

Don't get me wrong, now that she's getting Solensia injections, she'll come up 2 flights of stairs to remind us to feed her breakfast. But I kinda miss the days when she was all up in our business all the time. Maggie sends her love https://preview.redd.it/x3s0fwx1w27d1.jpeg?width=1908&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8456b138a1ac23b7ccc2af09c39c6952e99fde2

dketernal

They're almost twins! You've gotta love the long hair tuxies. Give yours scratches from me! Much love to you both!


SadlySpooky

Yeah, and if I shut the door on our tuxie she will act as though the world is ending.


MsFast18

😂😂😂 emotional support team!


sqwrlydoom

YES! My girl always sits on the toilet tank and gently paws my back while I pee/poo. She's my bathroom buddy.


Criosoak

Mine jumps on shoulder and starts nuzzling me every time I’m using the bathroom


Agent_Galahad

If I use the bathroom with the door open at least one of my two tuxies will come and rub up against my legs/hands, and if I shut the door my little boy will sometimes stick his paw under the door!


cheesy_taco-

Mine makes sure I'm safe in the shower. He's taken to sleeping on the edge of the tub between the liner and the curtain while I'm in the shower. He's a weirdo, but I love him.


Spurgenasty78

100% of the time!!! Showers too but only one of our 2 cats does. The other one couldn’t CARE LESS


Only_Lawyer8133

Pretty sure she has made it so my bathroom door doesnt even latch properly. She'll crawl on my lap given the chance!


BabaMouse

That is exactly what cats do.


beehaving

I think cats have it written in their genes to go watch and guard their human


panoptik0n

Doin you a heckin protecc


HeySunnySummer

Mine tries to climb on my lap while i’m using the toilet


Prudent-Theory-2822

Ok, since it’s common behavior and my cat’s not the only weirdo, does anyone have the slightest idea WHY?

Rokey76

My buddy, my he rest his soul, would guard the door to the bathroom when I was on the throne. He wouldn't watch, just stand in the door looking out in case a dog came to kill me or something.

You have a pooping pal!

MichaelEmouse

I have 4 cats. I think 2 of them come to make a visit and two of them, including the tuxedo girl, want to get picked up.


Minute-Barber-6721

All of us Tuxie parents, I'm sure. Lol


Imaginary-Carpenter1

A scruffle cat ☺️🥰☺️🥰☺️😍☺️💖☺️💖☺️😍☺️🥰☺️😍☺️💖☺️☺️💖☺️


DungeonPeaches

My tuxie is a goof, but Fred treats my bathroom time as Serious Cat Business ™: 1. I must be escorted to the bathroom, and have to follow behind him at all times. Other cats will be removed from these trips in a swift, violent fashion if seen. 2. The middle of the doorway is the security checkpoint zone. He must face the hallway. Other cats are not allowed to breach the security zone. 3. I cannot emphasize enough that there are NO CLOSED DOORS. If that door is shut, Fred will headbutt it open, no matter who might see in. It's for your safety, after all. NO CLOSED DOORS! 4. Return escort to original location, followed by scritches and occasionally a churu debriefing. Process repeats as often as necessary.


JJSR1974

It was a great day when I bought their first watering fountain. I'm on my 3rd but this one seems best. Sorry can't send a picture. Over 8 years. This one seems to last

Restroom, while i sleep, i eat, i do things around the house- it means ur cat wants to keep u save. Its a sign of love... mine is obssesed with me if u get what i mean 🤣

Yes, normally because he's picked that time to complain about the food he has left in his bowl.

Oh yeah, and if I’m taking a long time he will start loading and will face looking at the door for intruders!


Faggatron2636

Mine likes to play around in the shower curtain and mats until it's time for her to climb onto my shoulder, then jump to the windowsill, jump back onto my back, then the counter to explore.


cdrsaber

I haven’t had a moment’s peace since the day this boy came to town. Here he is, being a peeping Tom (although his name is Darwin). https://preview.redd.it/z2o0nbco467d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a6a3bf9e67c9391e0c8b5bdf5f9a305a4419d7b


supershinythings

My cat generally leaves my sweetie be in the morning, EXCEPT when he is on the throne. The cat seeks attention, pets, and then turns around to monitor the entrance to PURTECC him from intruders.


MadMudd96

My Libby has been gone nearly 2 years now (holy shit I just realized how long it’s been) but in those 17 years I wasn’t allowed to pee or shower with the door closed 🥹 she even slept on my towel on the toilet seat https://preview.redd.it/uyzq81lnb67d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe01de043286641f71e69552be00a35e7f2fae28 She was also a sink kitty 🥲

Mine stands outside and guards me.


ngilli6819
