Does your cat hang out in the bathroom?

[RICHARD]

Last year with traveled with Der Katz and his (and the dog's) food and water were put into the bathrooms of the hotels we stayed in.

Ed got into the habit of climbing into the tun and ONLY drinking water from the faucet. I had to wake up, go into the bathroom, open the tap up so it would drip, allow the cat to drink and then turn the tap off when he was done....He doesn't do this at home....thank god!!!

All of my cats have loved the bathroom.

Chessie used to sit on the lid of the toilet seat and watch me shower. Then as I would be drying off and getting out, he would be easing into the wet tub to roll around in the little puddles and then get out and groom himself.

Casey loves to get on the lid of the toilet seat as well and either watch me shower or watch me at the sink when I'm washing up and brushing my teeth before bed. He likes to stand on his back legs with his front feet up on the counter to watch me as closely as he can, sometimes hooking a paw around my free arm to pull me closer and rub his face on my arm. If I'm seated and taking care of business, he likes to sit on top of the tank of the toilet and headbutt me in the back of the head.

Smokey, if I'm seated and taking care of business, thinks he always has to get inside of and curl up in my jeans, PJ pants, or sweatpants when they're down around my ankles. He is also obsessed with the drain plug in the bathroom sink upstairs, having ripped it loose from the little lever on the back of the faucet and taking it and the plastic arm as far as under the fridge in the kitchen at times.

When the tub is dry, both Casey and Smokey like to jump in and stretch out.

Sandie: Mercy No, George is not in the bathroom because he's afraid of ANYTHING including the little dogs. George is boss of the house; sometimes we have to calm him down or put him in a timeout because he gets too rough with dogs. Also he's not in bathroom because house is hot. He doesn't stay in bathroom all the time but often. I think he just likes it for a change from his cat stand or whatever..

cassies mom, Richard, chatanuga: I think George is similar to the cats you mentioned. I smiled as I read your comments about your cats in bathroom. A lot of it sounds very much like George.

George loves to be in bathroom with me and/or by himself. He just finds so many interesting things in bathroom and tub. He is big enough now to get on the counter one way or another & help me brush my teeth (just shaking my head). It seems as if he knows every time I go to the bathroom & in a few minutes I hear his little bell on collar & know he's coming. He's so cute when he walks slowly toward me as if he is stalking me while I'm on commode and he tries to grab my legs which sometimes hurts. Anyway he's still cute and sweet and purring.

Kay, find / buy one of those high bounce rubber balls - we used to call the super balls when I was a kid. I think you can buy a package of them at the dollar stores. They are often in with the party favors, as small gifts / prizes for children. I'm talking about small ones, about an inch diameter. Large enough it can't be swallowed, small enough for the following:

Leave one in the tub. Sparkle LOVED to go in and have a hockey game! Of course, she enjoyed doing this at 2 AM as much as at 10 AM.

George is the right age, you may have to swat it around once or twice to give him the idea, then he will have his own game going! I used to just leave it, it settles on the drain, so I didn't worry about me stepping on it and falling. Thus it was available whenever she wanted to play with it!

Veera loves the bathroom also. if she hears water running she will come to check it out. she likes to play in water and will be present during anything done in the bathroom.

Ping pong balls also work for this, I recommend this all the time!

Ping pong balls don't "ricochet" like a super ball *giggle*

Well Malcolm hangs out in the sink, and Precious Angel, Miquelito and Tubster Panther sleep on the old blankets and towels in the linen closet!!!
And I have great tile floors so Mickey Fluffy Tail and Moose Angel snooze together with Princess Angel.
