and she can get up there and maybe get through the screen if she has enough time.

So since it's a forbidden place, when given the chance, she streaks in and flies right into the tub under the window. I've considered filling the tub and setting her up. I'd better have a tourniquet handy if I try that though.

My house 4.5 years ago:

Yeah Uncle Ruckus! Ruckus does good potty!

While standing and watching him do good potty.



So now - he shows his love by watching me do good potty.

They are just showing you their love!

My cats, especially Goldie Bear, would "nest" in my underwear. He would crawl between my ankles, do his little two spin recon, then plop down. Purr, OMG, he would sing. And drool and stick his tongue out. Weird cats..

I am in the habit of never closing the bathroom door, why discourage their affection. When my little granddaughter visits I usually give her a bath and one of our cats is always there, meowing and wanting attention. Don’t think he wants a bath.

The dog doesn't like to come into the bathrooms because "shower"! He looks in, but won't come in the door, even when it's been months since he had a shower. He remembers the horrors.
