Does it ever happen that a cat was sleeping soundly a minute ago, but as soon as the owner decided to go to the bathroom, the pet immediately ran after him? What could be the reason for this?

The simplest reason is strong affection and love.

After all, cats are social creatures, and some breeds cannot imagine their life without constant communication with humans.

But there are several other explanations for this behavior.

The thing is that the bathroom door is usually always closed.

But these animals always like to control all their possessions, which means that they do not like it if they cannot enter any room and inspect it.

Another reason is that you can always taste fresh water running from the tap in the bathroom, especially if it is hot weather.

Besides, the cat may simply perceive it as a game. After all, there may be more toys for him in the new room, for example, a washcloth or a brush.

The cat may also decide that the owner is hiding food in the bathroom. Therefore, behind a closed door, the owner may hear a plaintive meow when the cat asks to open the door to check if everything is okay.
