Bathroom Parade

[happylabs]

Well, I don't have a "parade" - unless you count a parade of one! Pinot accompanies my husband as well as myself into the bathroom. She needs to monitor the situation to make sure everything is done to her satisfaction after all!

Ohhh...a parade of one is still a parade. They are just so curious about the bathroom, aren't they?

Well, to be honest, she's in the master bath when we're not home sometimes, too. It's one of her windows on the world. There are two large windows (and all our windows have deep sills) where she watches the forest behind our house. I talk to her while she's there about what she sees. Also, we have a full glass shower and she tries to get to the drops that are on the other side. It's really funny to watch! Other bath activities: a large garden tub where there are four small rubber duckies to bat around, up on the vanity to try and lick Mom's moisturizer off, figure eights around legs, out to the bedroom to see if Dad's ready to feed her yet (nope-darn), back to the bathroom, OOH, Mom's almost done - food imminent! Meet you at the top of the stairs!!

She has a good life! I always talk to my group as well when they are looking out the window(s). Tink knows the word "bug" now. If I say "Tink...get the bug!", she is right there. My cats will not go near the tub or sink. Apparently they are waterless cats.

I have water bowls in the bathroom for my boys (they are messy drinkers so bowls are only in the kitchen and bathroom. So, they will both go in there. But, Mac is the one who has to supervise things in the morning. He follows me in there and has to make sure I follow the routine to his specifications. He hops up on the sink and just watches. He doesn't even move when I want to use the mirror to moisturize my face and put on makeup! He is just my buddy in the morning. Ming will follow my son in there, he's my son's cat, but not me very often. I always get a kick out of how they just HAVE to be there! Oh, Ming love jumping in the tub and checking to see if there is any moisture left from someone's shower. He will jump to the top of the shower door and bat at you whilie you are taking a shower. I guess he's the closest thing I have to a "water cat".

We have a variety of kitty bathroom antics here.

My Philly likes to run in and jump up on the sink to give me head butts while I'm, errrr, ummm, seated.

In the mornings, it's Molly on the back of the toilet tank peeking around the towel that hangs above, making her little trilling noises at me.

Also in the mornings, Piper gets in the tub and plays peek-a-boo around the shower curtain.

And at any given time Molly can come in and do a bunch of kneading motions while standing, flopping and rolling on the little throw rug, rubbing your legs, etc.

From the bird side. . .

My Senegal Parrots, Sage and Djimo, often keep me company in the bathroom. The amuse me while I sit. They walk around on the sink and like to knock things on the floor. Sage asks for kisses and Djimo does his "Mr. Fluffy" routine, where he fluffs up to twice his size and sways back and forth to let us all know that the bathroom is his domain. He likes to give the "other Senegal" in the mirror a bop with his beak to let him know that he doesn't belong there. Djimo understands bathroom etiquette and will turn round to poopie in the sink so that I can wash it away. Sage doesn't care. . .

They also like to walk along the edge of the open vanity cabinet doors and peer inside, perhaps thinking that it might be a nice nesting place?

The other morning while I was getting ready for work, Sage was on top of her cage and I was brushing my teeth. She fluttered down to the floor (her wings are clipped for safety) and walked into the bathroom to stand on my foot while I brushed. It was adorable!

That is so cute! I think birds are very intersting. I have never owned one myself but had a friend that had one that could sing "I left my heart in San Francisco". I can just picture them walking on the sink and knocking things over.
