just adopted a new cat, she's Feeling overwhelmed, Scared and unsure of what is happening. Don't eat or drink. Shuts down and wants to curl up or hide. Do you have an idea for cats??
She treats the toilet like it's her throne. She jumps up on the tank, even if I'm using the facilities. So.... figured the sign was best way for company to know what to expect. One of my 1st indoor cats thought he was a dog. He drank out of the toilet. So, closing the lid has been standard practice for me since 1997 🤣😂🤣
Yup. My boy has a no closed doors policy. I have to warn guests to make sure the door is tightly shut. I get a chorus when I take a shower (it doesn't matter if he's inside w/ me or outside wanting to get in); I can't stand drafts when I shower so it's a price I'm willing to pay.
Oh, lord. My husband will let the dogs in the bathroom while I am trying to poop! The door starts opening, and I'm like, "Dude, I'm pooping in here!" Here they come. "Oooo, mommy. Whatcha doing? Making stinkies?"
Cat is looking out for you. In the wild they are vulnerable when doing their business, and are sometimes known to look out for another in such moments.
My 2 definitely think they are protecting me. They will come in, meow, sniff around a bit, and then promptly sit right in the doorway looking out. They are like little bodyguards and its so adorable.
I had a cat who would yell at me while I was in the shower, because water = danger? 🤣 Literally every time I would shower, he would stand outside the door yelling and yelling like he thought I was on fire. I would talk back to him, and he would keep up the conversation. I loved that cat so much. I miss him every day.
LOL. Too funny. Yep, that's a cat for you. They have to know what's going on at all times. You will get used to it. I leave my bathroom door open. My cat always comes in to check on me when I'm in the bathroom whether I'm putting on makeup, taking a shower, or going to the John.
I’m not sure how true this is, but I think they do this to protect you since they are vulnerable when they go in nature. Or maybe they just miss your face.
Our 17-year-old beagle who is a rescue was definitely raised by cats. She gets right in your face. She will literally jump up on a kitchen table to drink milk out of your cereal bowl. And when I’m trying to take a dump in the morning, she pops her head in the bathroom. Fortunately for her, it also means she has nine lives because she’s eaten entire boxes of cupcakes and crayons, and somehow managed to live to tell the tale.
My cat runs screaming and bodies the bathroom door every time I close it. Otherwise she's perfectly normal. I think she likes being an annoying weirdo.
