Why does a cat follow its owner into the bathroom: obvious and not so obvious reasons

Cat owners often note the amazing desire of their pets to follow them everywhere, even when it comes to the bathroom.

Let's try to figure out what thoughts are going through the heads of the whiskered and striped ones at this moment.

The first reason why an animal does not want to leave “its human” in the bathroom unattended is that the cat views the room as a place to play.

Here, in the cat's opinion, there are a lot of attractive toys - a fluffy washcloth or a roll of toilet paper. "Or maybe this time I'll be able to taste a toothbrush?" - the pet probably thinks.

In addition, a tender love for the bathroom can be caused by a banal desire to drink fresh water straight from the tap.

In addition, in addition to being in close proximity to a life-giving source of moisture, few pets would refuse to cool off in a cool sink on a hot day.

“What if the owner is eating there?” is another cat thought that will not allow you to hide alone behind the bathroom door, because, as we know, cats are well-known lovers of satisfying their hunger.

Finally, you may hear a plaintive meowing behind a closed bathroom door for the reason that it is important for a cat to exercise control over its territory, and opaque doors completely deprive it of this opportunity.
