Well, well, well, you wanna know why those furry little devils, I mean cats, wait outside the bathroom? My old bones have seen a thing or two, and I tell ya, it ain’t no big mystery. It’s simple, just like mashing potatoes.
First off, them cats, they’re nosy little things. Always stickin’ their whiskers where they don’t belong. You shut that bathroom door, and bam! They gotta know what’s goin’ on in there. They can probably hear the water runnin’. That’s a big deal for a cat. Might be thinkin’ you’re havin’ a party without ’em!
And them cats, they love ya. Yeah, they act all tough and independent, but they love ya. They just wanna be near ya, see what you’re up to. It’s like when my old man used to go out to the barn, the dog would follow him. Same thing. They think the bathroom is a place to hang out, and they don’t want to miss it!
- They’re curious, them cats. Always pokin’ around.
- They love ya, even if they don’t show it all the time.
- They don’t like to be left out, those cats.
Another thing, those cats are smart. They know that when you’re in the bathroom, you’re a captive audience. Nowhere to run! They got you cornered. Perfect time to rub up against your legs and meow for attention. It’s like they are saying: “Hey, you pay attention to me!”
Sometimes, them cats, they just want a drink of fresh water. They like that cold water. Better than what’s been sittin’ in their bowl all day, gettin’ all dusty. Cats like fresh water. Just like me, I like fresh coffee.
My neighbor, she’s got a cat, Muffin. That cat, she waits outside the bathroom every mornin’. Sits there like a little queen on her throne, waitin’ for the door to open. My neighbor, she says it’s cause Muffin wants to play. I think it’s all of the above. That cat wants a drink, wants to play, and wants some love.
It don’t matter if you’re in there for a minute or an hour, that cat will be waitin’. It’s like they got nothin’ better to do. Maybe they don’t. Cats, they got their own ways. Maybe waiting outside the bathroom is a cat’s way to relax. Who knows?
And get this – them cats, they get worried about ya! Yeah, it’s true. They hear you in there, makin’ all sorts of noises, and they think somethin’ bad might be happenin’. They’re protectin’ ya, in their own little way. They think they are your bodyguards. The bathroom is dangerous, maybe.
- Cats wait outside the bathroom for fresh water.
- They use the time to get your attention. Clever, right?
- They might be worried about you. Sweet, ain’t it?
One more thing that them cats, they love routines, I swear. They want to know that you’re in the bathroom at the same time everyday. Then they know where you are, they know when to expect you. They know when to wait for you. Like my old rooster, he’d crow at the same time every mornin’. Cats, they are not so different, I think.
I remember my cat, Patches, she died a few years ago. Bless her heart. She did the same thing, waited outside the bathroom. I miss that old girl. She’d sit there and stare at the door. Sometimes, she’d scratch at it. Other times, she’d just sit there, quiet as a mouse. They are just waiting for you, you know. They don’t want you to forget them. You go into the bathroom, you close the door, they get sad. They don’t want to be alone.
My grandson, he told me that cats don’t like to be alone. They like company. They are not happy when you are not there. They think you are not coming back. They wait for you to come back. They just want to know you are safe and sound. So, the bathroom is a perfect place to find you. They think you can’t get away in there.
Now, I ain’t no cat expert. But I’ve lived a long life, and I’ve seen a lot of cats. And I tell ya, they’re all the same. They’re curious, they love ya, and they don’t like to be left out. And maybe, just maybe, they’re a little bit worried about ya. So next time your cat’s waitin’ outside the bathroom door, give ’em a little scratch behind the ears when you come out. They deserve it. They just want you to come back, that’s all.
So, there you have it. Why do cats wait outside the bathroom? It ain’t rocket science. It’s just cats bein’ cats. And that’s all there is to it. Don’t overthink it, just accept it. It’s a cat thing. You wouldn’t understand. Just like my old man used to say, “Some things just are the way they are.” And that’s the truth. No matter if it is about cats or not. Some things are like that.
