Do your cats perform bathroom escort duties too?

Scout and Silver take it in turns to escort us to the bathroom. If you
close the door to keep them out they lie on the other side and poke
their paws through underneath... they REALLY want to be in there, so
they can walk in circles around you, rub against your legs, demand
pets, and in Silver's case, meow loudly until you pick her up and
perch her on your shoulder!

Actually Silver hadn't done that to me yet... she usually reserves
that action for John when he comes home from work. But a few minutes
ago she decided that I needed a feline escort, and she went
MEOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! until I reached down and scooped her up and let
her sprawl on my shoulder, where she purred contentedly. And I had to
stay put until she was ready to get up, when she watched the water
swirl around the bowl and then investigated the mirror kitty from the
comfort of my shoulder.

Yep, it's official... I'm kittypecked

Yep, Persia *has* to come in there when I'm there. And when sitting on the
"throne" she often reaches up and gives me a gentle bite on my knee! If I'm
in the bathtub she gets on the edge of the tub, meowing at me for getting
myself all wet. If I take a shower, she pokes her head around the curtain
and yells at me

I also have bathroom escorts.

Simba LOVES to watch the water swirl. He gets the cutest most
perturbed look as the water disappears and fills back up. You can just
see the little gears turning in his head as he tries to figure out what
makes the water swirl.

Pepper has a compulsive need to mark the toilet by rubbing his face
glands on it - major YUCK. He also HAS to be in the bathroom when I
am. He just knows that if I go in and shut the door without him, the
mean toilet monster might suck me down with all the water. He also
figures toilet time is the perfect time to get attention and pettins.

Speckles sleeps with me. She's learned that the first thing I do on
awakening is head for the bathroom. She gets down and *leads* the
way, down the short hall and to the right!

Folks call her my "shadow" -- wherever I am, she has to be. So we
make several trips to the bathroom, as well as everywhere else, all
during the day.

Rufous always goes to the bathroom with me. Well, he just sits there and
demands scritches.

When Daisy, of the superkitty hearing, hears me sit on the toilet, she
comes running from all corners of the house. Then, like Silver, she
must be petted or picked up so she can climb up & hang on my (always
the RIGHT) shoulder. But she's pretty big, so I put her back on the
floor before I stand up.

Oh well, now-- men are *really* fun to watch. It's a little worrying,
actually.

Absolutely. The bathroom has always been a must for my cats. Stinky
doesn't watch the flush, or peer concernedly at me brushing my teeth
anymore, but he has to get in there with me-- or anyone else, for that
matter. Rule of the house: Nobody goes to the bathroom alone.

Frank often has to escort me, and when I sit on the throne, he often
wants in my lap. / He must also always inspect the flush and make sure
that the water does, in fact, run away.

Do you suppose they worry if we might go down with the flush?
Yes, TuTu always escorts me. She also like to sit on the bathroom
counter and drink from the tap. MLB

TuTu's philosophy seems to be: "wherever you go, I'll lead the way".
Then whenever that is over she leads the way to her kibble bowl.MLB
