why do cats do this?

Post Reply New Topic

yes! especially in the house that i live in up in baton rouge. it's a new house to her. every time i close the bathroom door she freaks out and starts meowing like madness.
she's obsessed with the toilet flushing as well and she would rather drink from the sink than drink from her bowl.

Our cats only ever want in the bathroom because that's where their food and litter box is.

What I want to know is why my cat always meows for attention and has me follow him into the bathroom, only so I can pet him while he eats?

I wonder why my cat does that too.

"I know you're in there."

"You're doing something in there."

"What are you doing in there?"

"Is there food in there?"

You've certainly heard the expression "Curiosity killed the cat."

But do you know the second line of the epigram?

"Satisfaction brought it back."

When you close that bathroom door, you're killing them indirectly by their own curiosity.

When you open it again, they get the satisfaction of seeing that "nothing, nothing, nothing--nothing at all" (apologies to Archibald MacLeish) has happened, at least as far as they're concerned, and that the important work of the kitteh committeh can resume.

That is, they can go back to sleep.
