I have a cat. A psychotic cat. A cat who will not let me go into the bathroom by myself. I think she’s afraid that I’m going to somehow hurt myself. Which actually brings up a funny story.
One day I went into the bathroom with a cat underfoot, and I asked her (yes, I talk to my animals) if I needed supervision. She looked at me as if to say “of course you do.” I proceeded to to step into the garbage can. I said ow, my husband laughed hysterically.
Anyway, when I do close the door all I hear at the door are furious, furry beatings on the door. Since my husband works during the day, I can usually do everything that I do in the morning with the door open. This appeases the cat, and doesn’t freak me out when I hear the noises at the door.
So, one day I’m in the shower minding my own business. The cat had been in the bathroom with me when I got into the shower, therefore I expected her to be there when I got out.
Yeah, she was still in the bathroom with me. Hell, she was in the shower with me. And she appeared to have no problems with getting wet. I on the other hand, did have a problem with a cat sitting in the shower with me and staring at me. Maybe I need to learn to shower with a swim suit on?
Whoever says that cats don’t like water, is a liar and must meet my cat.
Hahaha… She wants to make sure you are not planning an escape out the window. She is your personal body guard?
hahahaa! Funny .. sounds just like my dog!
The tub is positioned in front of the toilet, and Jerry has to sit on the side of the tub and watch me as I do my business. . .. .every single time.
Betme – It’s funny you called her that because that’s what my husband says she is. From the moment I get up, to the moment I go to bed she is with me. When I leave the apartment she just looks at me like “How dare you go where I cannot follow. What if something happens to you?” She’s lucky, there isn’t a window in our bathroom (ah apartment living).
Red – I grew up with dogs who did just about the same thing. You think I’d be used to this, but I’m just not. It’s a little unnerving not being allowed to be in the bathroom alone.
I live with 3 cats. One is obese, seriously and grotesquely. He is old and fat and smelly. The others are a brother and sister set of 5 month old kittens. (one is currently removing pillows from the sofa) We all do everything together. My baby girl will cry out a desperate little cry when she finds herself in a room without her people. She loves her people. And that is all you have. A kitty who loves her people.
*cringes* (they really are too big now to be a cute little ball of furry fury, now it is slightly frightening when they bust out with the UFC Kitty moves)
Does anyone have a bandage?
This is a bit odd. However, as a previous owner of a black cat (RIP Paco), I’ve come to expect odd things from black cats. Ours like to be reprimanded and bit people for fun.
I don’t want to meet the person who doesn’t talk to her pet.
Rosie – I love that she loves her people (well, person. She could seem to live without my husband). She rarely “talks” to us. She’s a very quiet cat content with walking underneath your feet.
Allison – A bit odd is an understatment. My girlfriend has a black cat who likes to be spanked. I don’t even want to talk about how this little discovery was made, but nonetheless no one can pet him and not spank him now. He even has certain people he prefers to spank him (oh how lucky I am to be in this select group, when he sees me he runs up to me and just meows until I give in and do what needs to be done). I’ve decided that cats are a very weird animal indeed.
if u think thats wierd my cat camps under the sink and waits for the water to stop running and she comes and aboshes me in the bath
she looks so cute wet
I love my cat because she’s a bit of an airhead (like her mom), she has recently fallen into the toilet (flushed and clean, thank god), fallen asleep in the bathroom sink and continues to join me in the shower. It’s unnerving and amusing at the same time.
