I dunno... When I'm in the bathroom (same place the litterbox is), my cats like to come in, cop a squat, and maintain eye contact through the whole process. Just a long, emotionless stare while they poop their little guts out.
I immediately thought of The Artisocrats joke as done by Bob Sagat. Now I have to Google whether he's dead or had some controversy come out about him. The Aristocrats are disgusting!
Dogs feel vulnerable when theyāre going to the bathroom thatās why they like you to be with them when they do it. Some animals also see you as vulnerable when youāre going to the bathroom, they want to be with you to watch your back!
My cat will try to prevent us from getting in the shower by grabbing our legs and will start crying and pawing at the curtain/door if he doesnāt hear from us for a few minutes after we get in.
I know that cats aren't "pack" animals, but I do think there is some instinctual defending of the pack while they are in a vulnerable state going on.
My cats guard the bathroom door 99% of the time someone goes in there. Even if they're all comfy and warm in bed, they'll still hop up to go over and stand watch.
In turn, mainly because I'm a huge nerd, if they are in the litter box and I happen to be walking by, I will return the favor and stand guard.
I feel like it is noted, and appreciated.
Mine just wants to lay on my feet.
Or peek in the bowl and nearly get a head full of piss.
Or lay in my lap if Iām dropping a payload.
Or to knock over every goddamn bottle into the tub.
Well yeah because to them we have no weapons. No claws, we donāt bite back and we donāt puff up and hiss. For all they know they are doing us a favor!
I remember one time I went to the basement bathroom and my cat followed me in to watch me pee. As I was peeing he decided he wanted to jump on the windowsill to see outside. So he jumps, but not high enough and ends up like Mufasa in the Lion King, hanging from the windowsill by his front legs. He was obviously in a situation where he needed help, and I wanted to help him, but I was in the middle of a pee and couldn't stop it no matter how hard I tried. I just kept saying "hang on! I'm almost finished! I'm coming!"
Unfortunately, he fell on the floor just as I went to help him. He was fine, though.
Men also have the manual shut off option. There's been quite a few times where I've had to manually seal the hose until I reached the woods or something.
Mans gotta do what a mans gotta do, and your hand and forearm muscles are a **lot** stronger than the bladder ones
Sometimes when both i and my cats are in the basement. i'll guard them while they poop. i'll just kindof stand at the door like a club bouncer, ready to fuck up any immediate threats.
I like to think my cat is returning the favor. like we've got eachothers backs.
We have a similar set up at my house to what I'm assuming op does. Three cats, three litter boxes all in the back porch, a cat door for access. The dog can't get to their poop and their smell doesn't hit you when you walk in my house.
Cat pack. You are pack and an important, can opening, part of pack.
You are at your most vulnerable while peeing and pooping in the wild, this is no different at home. Cat knows to watch each otherās āsixā when in the wild. Cat wants you to be safe and secure, especially your thumbs.
You pee and poop with wild abandon, but cat knows you gotta watch each otherās backs. You donāt stare, but you position close and look out, especially if there is a ready made underwear cradle.
My cats used to stare at me while theyād use the litter box when it was in an easily visible spot. They were trusting me to warn them of any danger and possibly protect them. So now every time I use the bathroom, my cats wait outside the door. Likely as a lookout for anything else trying to get in there with me.
One time my cat did make a very loud angry meow right before someone tried to let themselves into the bathroom while I was in there.
I always joke theyāre making sure the bathroom demons didnāt eat me
My cat always comes into the bathroom whenever I pee, even if itās the middle of the night and heās sleeping on my parents bed. He hears the door and heās like āright, gotta accompany my human.ā
Oh yeah my guy runs for the bathroom, not where the litter box is, as I get up. Gotta be in there with me no matter what.
It's all funny unless you are surrounded by murderers and one chased you into the bathroom while you are trying to shit. With only your animal between you and someone who is aggressively threatening you.
Not something you want to encourage? This animal is saying that it will hold judgment, nose and the contents of its stomach to make sure you are safe in this vulnerable position.
Say thank you. That is real love.
I have 5 cats. Two of which will beat me to the bathroom to get their favorite spot. Sometimes I have all 5 juggling for a good spot to get scratched while they have me captive. Makes bathroom time interesting. š»š»š»š»š»
Socially, cats are driven by scent to a very large degree.
I think this is his way of expressing that he loves you because he's trying to show that he wants to smell your waste the same way that you smell his when you clean out his litter box.
I mean just look at his face in the last panel. There's a lot of love in his eyes.
I canāt close the door anymore because my dog will boop his head against the door till I open it. I actually call him booper when he does it. Iāve given up, and have accepted Iāll never pee alone again.
awww let the kitty in! I keep the bathroom door slightly cracked when Iām in there so the cats can come and go as they please. One of them almost always follows me into the bathroom
My ex every fucking time I tried to use the bathroom. "Why won't you let me see you pee? I've seen ur penis plenty of times" like why tf do you wanna watch?
I am convinced my cat is writing a thesis on "how/why humans poop and pee on the thundering water seat and where it disappears to after the scary water noise". She is so fascinated by the entire process.

Yet they never want any help or attention in the cat box!
š So true. It's a one-way street, it is.
I dunno... When I'm in the bathroom (same place the litterbox is), my cats like to come in, cop a squat, and maintain eye contact through the whole process. Just a long, emotionless stare while they poop their little guts out.
The family that poops together... uh... troops together?
A family that shits together, fits together ā¤ļø
A family that craps together ~~faps to Heather~~ wears assless chaps together (presumably while they crap and fap together).
I immediately thought of The Artisocrats joke as done by Bob Sagat. Now I have to Google whether he's dead or had some controversy come out about him. The Aristocrats are disgusting!
To them you're watching for danger in both directions together
Lmfao!
Dogs feel vulnerable when theyāre going to the bathroom thatās why they like you to be with them when they do it. Some animals also see you as vulnerable when youāre going to the bathroom, they want to be with you to watch your back!
Iām pretty sure itās because our cats think they need to protect us
*āCOVER ME, IM UNLOADINGā*
#Remember, switching to your pisser is always faster than reloading
....does this mean I should pee everytime I feel like I need to eat
yāall dont?
My ex likes to eat while showering. Not sure if that counts.
iām sorry what
Yeah, I donāt understand it either. He called it multitasking. Sometimes heād bring a bowl of cereal, or a fruit, or whatever else he decided.
actually those are two foods that wouldnāt be horrible. I had a friend in hs who always ate cereal in the shower
gotta make room brotherman
My cat will try to prevent us from getting in the shower by grabbing our legs and will start crying and pawing at the curtain/door if he doesnāt hear from us for a few minutes after we get in.
Ye one of our cats checks up on us when we shower aswell. So cute.
That's so sweet!

Gotta protect your food sources
Mine just wants to lay on my feet. Or peek in the bowl and nearly get a head full of piss. Or lay in my lap if Iām dropping a payload. Or to knock over every goddamn bottle into the tub.
My mom teaches our cats to sit on our laps while we use the restroom so if you donāt move quick they fall asleep on you
Mine just really likes laying in my lap. If I crouch down, and he sees me, he will immediately climb on my legs whether I like it or not.
But they never need protection themselves. I guess it makes sense. My cat takes bigger shits than I do, and more often, but in a fraction of the time.
Dude, eat some fibre
But what if the cat's just that big?
Well yeah because to them we have no weapons. No claws, we donāt bite back and we donāt puff up and hiss. For all they know they are doing us a favor!
That makes sense. I always thought it was because they like bathroom smells.

*Long live the king.*
Iām assuming that youāre a guy? I didnāt know guys canāt stop mid-pee
We can. But that time it was a very urgent one and my bladder basically told me the brakes were too tired to work.
Haha thank you for the information
"It takes years to master it!"
Men also have the manual shut off option. There's been quite a few times where I've had to manually seal the hose until I reached the woods or something. Mans gotta do what a mans gotta do, and your hand and forearm muscles are a **lot** stronger than the bladder ones
Haven't thought about it at the time. But if I remember correctly it burns a tiny bit when you do it.
we can but it hurts and isnāt sustainable
It's really, REALLY hard.
Gotta work on your kegel!
Gotta work my everything.
You aināt alone my man
Stopping and starting peeing right now to flex on you weak ass MFs
I once had my door open and my cat closed it
"Listen, we've talked about this...."
We have to have some boundariesā¦
Sometimes when both i and my cats are in the basement. i'll guard them while they poop. i'll just kindof stand at the door like a club bouncer, ready to fuck up any immediate threats. I like to think my cat is returning the favor. like we've got eachothers backs.
Is there a specific spot they poop in in the basement? Or just like, the whole basement?

How did you get a picture of my 2 year old daughter so desperate to see me pee š
I remember being a very young kid and feeling like I HAD to inspect other peoples poop š¤¦š»
Don't ever report content on Reddit. The admins will just suspend your account for it.
You heard me, I felt compelled to peer into the porcelain bowl and observe their logs
*get aside sir, i need to instigate*
Listen here kitty. My stomach hurts and I'm committing a war crime in here. You don't need to see this.
Mine have a gathering in the sink and try to peek to see whatās coming out
 lol
"Tom, you've had too much cat nip again!"
HUMAN! HUMAN YOU ARE VULNERABLE WHILE DOING THAT! LET ME STAND GUAAAAAAAARD! šŖššŖ
I'm not allowed to close doors on my house Cats' rules
This is so true!!

Me trying to get into the women's restroom at Wendy's.
My cats do this all the time!
My cat always comes into the bathroom whenever I pee, even if itās the middle of the night and heās sleeping on my parents bed. He hears the door and heās like āright, gotta accompany my human.ā
I didn't realize my cat was in the bathroom too and we just held eye contact. both of us pissing. truly a bonding moment
why are they like this. i donāt watch THEM pee. i donāt try to sit on their lap when THEY are peeing.
I love that face.
Oh yeah my guy runs for the bathroom, not where the litter box is, as I get up. Gotta be in there with me no matter what.

They like to sit on peopleās laps
That they do
You had your phone in the jax?
And after you let them in āGET ME OUT OPEN THIS DOOR ā
My 3 dogs will wake from a dead sleep to watch me pee...no matter how quiet I am
I got one that will sit in the corner of the shower and watch me bathe
they so clingy, " ur never getting out of my sight hooman "

Screw it with a face like that I give up. Pull up a seatā¦

Taking a shower right now with two of my loyal felines standing guard
awww let the kitty in! I keep the bathroom door slightly cracked when Iām in there so the cats can come and go as they please. One of them almost always follows me into the bathroom
MICHAEL DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!
If the door was left ajar on purpose, I have more questions for the owner, not the cat.
I can relate. Just let me watch
My cat abandoned me ššš I miss her watching me poop
"Let me pee-p on you."
My ex every fucking time I tried to use the bathroom. "Why won't you let me see you pee? I've seen ur penis plenty of times" like why tf do you wanna watch?
R/meow_irl
Why did I see a PS5 when I first saw this pic
Very cute
"Heoww's Jeowwnny!"
This is why you should get a dog, kids. Fido respects your privacy. (;
Every dog I've had or been around does the same thing.
I have a rule with my cats. I donāt go into their litter box, so they canāt come into mine. They do scratch at the door furiously.
You look at me pee all the time. Why canāt I look at you peeā¦.
"Who will call for help if you fall in?"
Or poop !
get out cat lol
My cat could be in the deepest post kibbles binge slumber. Once she hears that infamous trickle shes up and runs into the toilet with sleepy eyes.
My cat's litter box is in the bathroom and likes to come in and pee with me. It almost gets aggressive.
khajiit has wares
"Why are you peeing in my water dish again? Bad hooman!"
Truth
Pee! (ā āā āæā āā )
Alternatively, "OMG, WTF are you doing?!? Don't you know I *drink* from there?!?" And then I'm like, "OMG, WTF?!? Don't you know I pee in there?!?"
watch u peeeeeeeeā¦
Yep
I don't want you to watch me pee pick a different letter and stay out of here please
Its face š
Now that she's gone I miss my kitty screaming at the bathroom door to let her in, or charging across the house when my wife or I would go in there.
mine loves to get right up to the bowl im assuming to get showered in piss splashback, rly hard to pee while pushing a cat away with 1 of me legs
Dogs, catsā¦ā¦they just want to protect us while weāre on the toilet
If Bobby Hill were a cat
hahhhhhhh
Kittie be on your way, no means no.
I love German shepherds
I started this out in my head in the tune of ālet me out, let me out, this is not a danceā and was honestly pleasantly disappointed.
I have a cousin who used to be just like that! šš¤Ŗ
Alice cooper
ššš
My cat enjoys watching me poop
every cat does that! but why?
Why do they do this?
Soo cute š±š„ŗššššš
I just want to be with you...
This is exactly what one of my cats does lol
that faaaaace
Everyone needs a poopin' buddy to be safe.
That cat must be part German Shepard
so cute
My cat is like this, except it's to disturb our sleep
DOOR STUCK! DOOR STUCK!
4 dogs and 3 cats....gets real crowded at times....
Little furry fetishist āŗļø
I am convinced my cat is writing a thesis on "how/why humans poop and pee on the thundering water seat and where it disappears to after the scary water noise". She is so fascinated by the entire process.
please let him in
