Cats Follow Their Owners To The Bathroom To Protect Them From Dangerous Bathroom Things

We scream at the top of our lungs that we want a pet for emotional support, yet do a full 180 when they're a little too supportive. And by that, we mean when they follow us to the bathroom. If you're a fellow pet owner, you've probably asked yourself why on earth is this goober following me to the bathroom? Is everything okay with them? Do they want to go outside? 

Rest assured, all is well! That's just their special little way of saying, 'hey, hooman, I'm here for you. Whatever you need - I'm here. Unless it's to bring toilet paper or help with wiping - then you're on your own. But I'm here to watch you closely'. Because you never know, the bathroom can be a hazardous place, there's lots of water and soap, and you know how scary that can get. We guess their logic is that following us to the bathroom is a way to protect us from all the dangers the bathroom possesses.

    It's an absolute must and there's no discussion. I have to make sure everything is going according to plan. Even though I don't know what the plan is, what day it is, or anything else for that matter. I just know that you're my hooman and I am responsible for protecting you from all things at all times.

    Bathtub - Erich Rahm @ErichRahm Replying to @memesiwish I usually get the paw under the door treatment but sometimes I let him in. 5:52 AM · Apr 11, 2022 · Twitter for Android

    And judging by his face, he's not too happy with getting the under-the-door paw treatment. 

    Don't you get it, hooman? I do this for you, for your safety, protection, and security. And then they say cats are ungrateful. Well, you try living with a hooman who doesn't appreciate me staring at them while they poop, the audacity.

    Font - Taen7 @yoobieyoob Replying to @memesiwish Somewhere, I've read that dogs usually look at their owners while pooping, it gives them comfort while they are in that vulnerable state. Cats maybe think that humans need comfort like that...? 1:38 PM · Apr 11, 2022 · Twitter for Android
