This is exactly what my youngest cat does - we don't even shut the doors fully anymore, otherwise she'll scratch at the door and yowl (as if I'm gonna drown without her watching lol)
Both of my ragdolls do this. They put their front paws on the edge of the bathtub, and watch it fill up. If it's a long bath, usually one of them will climb on top of the toilet tank for a better view. Sometimes they will tap the surface with their paws or lap a tiny bit of water.
One of my cats has even fallen into a full tub, before, after goofing around in the edge. Doesn't seem to have changed anything.
Yes. Before I turn on the water he rushes in. He likes to be petted while in the shower. I guess he found out that I am "available" to pet him. He would stay there forever if I would not put him outside.
My cat PeePee will meow loudly from the edge of the tub if I start singing. Not sure if he wants me to shut up, is worried I’m dying, or just wants to sing along.
The younger one will regularly hop in the tub and get wet, she seems to almost enjoy it.
Almost always they’ll sit and guard me while in there.
My little calico watches and commentates. I imagine her saying, "Human. Human. HUMAN. WHY do you take off your fur and get all wet and then rub smelling things on you and then get more wet and then get dry and put fur back on??? I cannot fathom this! Help me understand!!!"
Mine will come into the bathroom as soon as I turn off the water, walk onto the bath mat on the side of the tub & wait for post-shower rubs! She'll also roll around on the bath mat. Lol! 🤣 She's so cute!
I bought a tub liner after the first time I reached down next to the curtain for my body wash only to feel fur. It scared me so badly that I nearly slipped.
The reason why cats go in the bathroom when your in there is safety going to the bathroom in the wild is full of predators and they gotta protect you! when your in the bathtub they meow cause WHY U IN WATER HUMAN WHAT IS HAPPENING?! and also I GOTTA PROTECT MY FOOD SOURCE
I have a video from 2020 where one of my cats (Wookie) came into the shower with me (not on a shelf or smth he was very much wet) and just chilled as we showered together😭✌️ at that time he was upset that I «left him alone» (aka the strange little see through room where it rains hot water) he wouldn’t stop screaming until I let him in😭✌️ I actually left the shower to put on socks so I could record him in the shower with me, the video is 5.40min long with him chilling under the stream😭 (I know, the socks, fucking criminal, it was disgusting, but it was either that or having my feet on a video I was gonna share, and I am not releasing my feet to the public.)
(The pic is dark, I know, we only change the bathroom lights when they’re all completely empty)
My previous cat was a little clingy so when she saw me heading for the shower she’d run over and demand I open the second shower curtain so she could be trapped in the window seat while I showered. Typically about 5 minutes in she’d be all toasty and decide she had urgent business to attend end to so I’d be attacked by a shower curtain until I wrapped both shower curtains around me as she only wanted to leave if there was no chance she would get wet. Yes I had to wake up early for this.s
My Winston likes to loaf in the corner near the door till I’m out or if he’s feeling adventurous he climbs and walks on the edge of the tub in between the shower curtains.
🥹🥹Please inform Smolder I would commit crimes for them and if they ever decide to take over the world I fully support the decision. Please give them lots of kisses and treats on my behalf.
Seven doesn't even wait for leftover water, he throws himself into the shower crying at the top of his lungs to drink hot water. I don't get it but it makes him happy!
Yes. Both boy cats I have been around love to come on in when I am showering. The girl cat would love to give me a tongue bath after my shower because apparently I didn’t clean myself good enough.
Follow? As soon as she sees me going for the shower, she jumps in the tub and lies down. Believe me, ahe does not want to shower... She just seems to enjoy blocking me from having mine.
When I first got my cat I kept him in the bathroom, he would hide behind the toilet and poke his head out, and I would say "there he is!". Now if I ever want company when I shower, all I have to say is "there he is!" And he comes running meowing trying to lick the water off my hands.
I thought this was my cat Tofu and was so confused for a moment before I remembered my partner and I have never had blue walls. She also has a small white circular marking on the dark side of her face
She came up to PA from west palm beach during a hurricane when the shelters needed to make space.
Yes. My Tortie Aimee comes into the shower every day as soon as I finish, walking around on the wet floor before sitting down (and getting a wet bum) until I get out.
When I first brought my cat hime from the HS he was scared to be alone and followed me everywhere. Including having to sit on the tub ledge when i was showering. He would also have to be holding onto me with his paws through the shower curtain. Really glad he grew out of that.
Mine sits under the curtain and meows at me. Shes white so she blends in until she makes a sound startling me. I never hear her sneak in when I get in the bathroom. I have plants in there they love to drink from. <3 so cute
Mine sits on the tub edge and I give him running shower water as it trickles down my arm. Sometimes I turn around and see he’s INSIDE the shower with me just chillin there. Like, buddy, you’re getting all wet.
It has to do with the scent. You are part of their family and you keep going into he shower, washing off their familiar scent and applying chemical fragrance to hide your scent.
Cats dont just rub themselves on people for no reason, they are marking whats theirs and what isnt, and also covering themselves in your scent so you both know who is whos family.
Regular washing for humans is normal but not for cats. Our cats avoid the bathroom because we wash them, so they learnt about getting their scent stripped by shampoo at a young age. But not all owners wash their cats for obvious reasons, so there may be some distress in that cat in OP for constantly seeing their human wash off theri scent like they dont like it or something.
My kitten does! She’s been getting progressively more adventurous about it, too. Last night she insisted on jumping into the tub after I turned the water on. She got annoyed when the water finally reached her paws and jumped out.
Then when I stepped in she started jumping up and pawing at me, like she’s trying to grab my leg.
Yeah though oddly, mine hysterically wants to enter the bathroom the moment only the shower’s off and then investigates the shower booth like it’s a crime scene.
Weirdly no. Every other cat I've had would follow me in and sit on the toilet seat while judging me in the shower or bath, but our current cats have some weird phobia about the bathroom. Neither will come in...which is great, so I go and hide in there when they're giving me shit.
Mine are not allowed into the bathroom because they’re gonna track water all over my bed and my pillow. One of my cats, Jesse, is the most nervous when I’m in the shower. I am not allowed to shut the door and he stares at me very concerned until the water stops “attacking me”. He also meows very worriedly at me the whole time. Idk how to convince him that I’m okay, even enjoying the shower on hot days. He’s always so worried, the chonky little gremlin
Cats truly believe it's their job to monitor us during showers, thinking we're in danger from the "water monster." Their concern is both hilarious and adorable.
Right as I turn the water off my little Gonti boy runs into the bathroom to check on me. He usually does a little scream and then loves on my towel, and then loves on me when I step out of the shower. Once he realizes I'm going to leave the room he then inspects the bathtub.
I have no pictures or video of him doing this, but here's a picture of him and his brother, Ugin (Gonti is black and Ugin is gray)
I'm not even joking, my cat does this exact thing and looks just like your cat but just darker and more colors. After reading your description I realized she has the same name as your cats brother...Seven lol
You’ve got a snowshoe!! They are actually known to like water, I’m not sure why. I mostly live with orange boys but have a snowshoe here now and she’s so strange with her behavior. Look it up!
My cat used to scream outside of the shower until I was safely out! That was half his lifetime ago and now I'm lucky if he graces me with sitting outside the shower and giving me a meow when I leave.
Our cat Pops sits on the toilet while my wife takes a bath. If she stays still for too long he boops her with his paw on the forehead to make sure she's okay. Our other cat Monday will sit outside the bathroom when I take a shower and then treats me like I survived a horrific ideal when I open the door back up. She needs me to show her I'm okay before she will leave me alone.
Callee jumps onto the bathtub and onto the counter to yell in the mirror or get water from a ramekin. Mittens, running water is fine, falling water he's out of the room.
Had a roommate's cat who really liked me. She wanted in the bathroom I was in when I showered. She began to cry and yell at me like I was dying in the shower. She didnt want out because I tried to let her out but she didnt leave.
As soon as I got back in the shower, she continued her yelling/crying like the shower was evil.
Mine waits until I turn off the water, then stands on the bath mat screaming until I give him a vigorous massage. He hates water dripping on him so I have to be fully dry, but he stands there screaming with his butt angled toward me to pet. Then when I’m ready he starts purring and drooling and lays on my feet for his meowssage. He’s intense and I would die for him
Mabel must do an inspection before I get in. Then she waits until it's nice and steamy to take a crap in the box so we can all enjoy shower time that much more.
Mine used to actually get inside the shower, yes, while it was on. She wouldn't stand under the water, but she would walk around in the tub, just getting slightly wet, the residual water that splashes off me.
Now if I leave the bathroom door open she'll wait until the moment I turn the water off to get inside and lick my legs.
My orange boy jumps up on the sink beside the shower cubicle and meows his head off until I'm out of the shower, he then steps into the shower, meows at the water on the floor and then licks it. 🤣
My younger cat loves to sit between the inner (transparent) shower curtain and the outer one. She can watch what’s happening and swat at the water running down the curtain without any risk of getting wet.
The shower is also her favorite place to escape from the older cat when they get on each other’s nerves. The older cat won’t go near the shower.
I usually take baths and as soon as I start running the water, my cat runs in and jumps on the ledge. She likes to sit there and drink the bath water lol 🤢
My Renoir-T-Cat would stand on the sink, meowing at me and raising his paw while tucking and turning his head - every single time I was in the shower. When I got out, he demanded that he be permitted to lick the water off my chin (with the wonderful discomfort that implies on a not-yet-shaved face).
I love how arrogant kitties are: "I don't like baths", therefore "momma has lost her marbles and is clearly insane and needs to be rescued from the bath"
I use to have a cat that would wanna jump into the shower with me! Lol I take one in with me cuz she's got asthma... so the steam helps her. She hates it! Lol but she's tried to come into the shower and then felt the water and said nope! I have another cat who loves being in there and she will hit on the curtain while I'm showering so I'll hit back and we go back and forth. Previous cat I had would bite my bare legs before and after a shower 😂😂😂😂
Yes, my cats watch me in the bath. Both of them. One sits on the cupboard next to the bath, and the other pokes his head over the ledge and stands up watching me. It makes me very nervous.
My boy cat also follows me to the toilet, he just rubs his head against my legs when I'm doing either toilet activity lol
Yes. One of ours LOVES the shower so much they run to the bathroom every time they hear the bathroom ceiling vent go on and waits in front of the tub. For some reason he jumps in and tries to play with the water. Even when we turn the sink on hey paws at the water lol
Lol! My little black kitty, Pawz (he's the crazy one out of the 3), stares the entire time I'm showering at the water coming down like he's in awe, and as soon as I get out he runs in and plays in whatever's left and licks the drops left on the tub floor.
omg yes!! 😆😆 my kitty loves to sit and watch me through the clear curtain or he’ll sit on my bath mat and meow until i poke my head out or get out the shower
My cat Mochi always ends up in the bathroom. We've got a hole in the wall where our sink pipe is and he squeezes through there and ends up in the bathroom lol. I had to get him out 5 times this morning when I was getting ready for work.
