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

Always escort me to the can. At least one of them, if not both. I wonder
if they think of it as 'The hooman's sand box wif water' ??

I am so glad that I am not the only one with a bathroom escort. When I go my kitten just watches contently. But when my husband goes she will baalance herself on the back of the seat (my husband is still sitting when she does this) and will proceed to try and cover the stink.

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.


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

thinking about it,its a captive audience thing... they know youre
going to be there for awhile, and what better time to score some
attention?

lol!

My cats sometimes escort me for bathroom duties. But what they really
do is based on the fact that I am such a creature of habit, as are
they! I always take a visit to the throne just before I feed them.
They, being smart, have figured this out, and pretty much the entire
herd follows me up an accompanies me on my throne by using theirs,
awaiting the dinner that will fill them up once again ;-)

Yup. Oscar always wants to be nearby, even if she's not *right there*. It's
disconcerting, but if that's the worst habit she has *shrug*

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

When Oscar was a kitten, she would meow at me for getting in the shower. I
don't know when she stopped, but she really doesn't care anymore. Baths, on
the other hand, are rare enough that she has to investigate. I'm convinced
she's going to jump right in some day, and both of us will be very upset!

All of my kitties did the escort thing. I guess they thought that I'll
fall in and they'll have to get help.

Chablis loves it when I shower or take a bath. When I shower she stands
on the edge of the tub, in between the shower curtains. When I take a bath,
she sits on the side of the tub & watches me, occasionally wanting to sniff
at a hand or foot & take a swipe at them as they dip under the water.

They escort both of us. Either Lady Jane Grey, Sumo, or Smokey is
sure to follow me in. There's a small chest of drawers opposite the
throne and we keep a few cat toys in there. Mostly what they want
though is attention, but sometimes they want a drink from the faucet.

Lynda gets Sumo, Smokey, or Squidget and maybe sometimes Lady Jane.
One time Smokey just wouldn't leave her alone when she wanted some
solitude. Lynda heard a skritching noise on the door and yelled that
she'd like five minutes of privacy please. The skritching stopped for
a moment and then started in again. Stop and start! Stop and start!
Lynda was getting more and more heated till she was swearing vengeance
on that damned pussycat as soon as she was done. She finished washing
up and opened the door to find her DH kneeling on the floor skritching
the door at kitty level.

If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't have been kneeling, I'd
have been in a sprinter's crouch. ;-)

My kitty, Mindy (http://steve-and-pattie.com/mindy/index.html#top), is
always there when I am, and I take the opportunity to pick her up and
get some kitty-hugs, generally with purrs. Mayby I should list this
among he interests and hobbies on her web page, but I'm not sure how to
explain it.
