Anyone with cats knows there is no privacy. You can close the door, but there will be a pitiful mewing behind the door and tiny paws reaching under the door. You can leave the door open and your feline entourage rushes in with you.

Dougy waits outside the door so he can swat Andy when he rushes by. (Unless Andy waits by the door to…. Yeah! To swat Dougy!)

Andy rushes in to hop on an invalid chair in the bathtub. Dougy can’t get him there!

All I can do is sit there while Dougy zig zigs around my legs, making sure I am properly marked as “DOUGY’s PROPERTY ~ ANDY STAY AWAY! “
Snoops sits outside the door and waits for us to open it. Then she rushes in. We’re supposed to close the door and give her belly rubs and nuzzles. It’s the only play where Kommando can’t get in and steal the attention. Kommando must understand. She patiently waits outside the door until we’re done.
Great! I enjoy hearing about the travails of other cat servants. We are all in this together, right?!
Snoops and Kommando always like to know their are humans who understand.
Hey, someone has to open the cans….Or clean the litter boxes…. Yeah!
I am never alone in the bathroom either.
LOL! If there is one person with cats in the family who is, I’ll say they lie!
The girls can be sound asleep, but when choose to go to the human litter box, both are right there with me, insisting on petting and being held. MOL
Yeah, that’s the wicked part about it! I feel stupid picking up the cats to satisfy their desire to be held and loved, but it is awkward when one is on the throne! LOL!
You two heros are admiring you whatever the situation !:)
In friendship

LOL! I thought it was more like they knew I couldn’t get away from them for a moment, so they made use of the opportunity. “Make hay when the sun shines,” as we say in America.
Oooo I do know what you mean. Some of mine think I just sit down to create a LAP, just for them. Others are sure I’ve closed the door, which won’t latch unless I slam it…old house remember…and are SURE, I’ve got a baby or a “sickie” in there to feed the kitty heroin…baby food…and push on the door until it opens. I had one, Bette Noir, that used to come in and pee in the tub because evidently she thought I needed the companionship. YUP, I can’t even pee alone. Hi to the boyz and have a good weekend Doug. ~~dru~~
Hilarious stories! Bette Noir is a great name, incidentally!
Our Princess hates and gets angry when we close the doors… In our home all doors are open except the house door 🙂 Actually she wants to be with us wherever we go in the home… as you mentioned, there is no privacy 🙂 Thank you dear WB, lovely post and photographs, have a nice weekend, Love, nia
“Princess”! Of course she is one! I guess we wouldn’t have cats if we couldn’t handle the constant surveillance.
You have a wonderful weekend, too! I hope to see more of your beautiful Istanbul and Turkey through your photos, something I encourage others reading this comment check out, too. You are a superb photographer and blogger, and your postings are always fun and interesting. Of course, I especially like the cat photos, but there is so much more to see in your blog!
So true, never alone in the bathroom.
I’ve gotten used to it, though it is almost worth closing the door to see those little paws searching under the door for a path to kitty nirvana! LOL! It gives you a mouse’s point of view on what it must be like to be a little prey animal hiding from the cat.
Same in this house LOL
We all suffer so! LOL!
Not only do ours open the door, they open it WIDE! 🙂
Ha! Ha! Mine march in with serious intent and purpose, surround me, and sniff my underwear in a gesture of incredible insensitivity and rudeness!
So true…only mine is a border collie that can open a door that is not locked…no privacy…LOL
LOL! I’d expect a border collie to be that clever! I think they are wonderful dogs, border collies. If there is one breed you suspect understands us more than others, it has to be a border collie, they are so intelligent.
Oh yes…she lets me know when it is time for her pill…..she knows the difference between good bacon and fast food bacon….she has more brains than most of the people in my neighborhood…LOL
