Question: Does anyone else's pet run away when you use the bathroom?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Just wondering.


:toast:

1. Yes, it freaks my dog out.

What is up with that?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

5. Even taking a leak....

The dog runs for the hills!

[Kire]

2. no, my cat comes in and rubs my leg

I guess I don't live alone, after all.

[Kire]

3. wait a minute

what kind of thread is this?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

4. If you ask me, it's kind of shitty.

:)

[donheld]

21. If you ask me, what kind of Kitty

Rubs upon you when you're shitty:evilgrin:

[miss_kitty]

13. it pisses me off

:)

[tridim]

6. My dog sits at my feet and stares me down.

Wondering what the hell I'm doing. :)

7. My dog freaks out when I'm in the bathroom

and the door is shut so she can't come in. She whines at the door ... but if you let her in than she acts scared! If the door is left open a crack the dog will let herself in everytime. That seems to be the best of both worlds for her. She gets to be next to me, but since she left the door open, she can leave if she wants.

My dog is a freak.

:hi:

8. Mine used to be that way...

I think she figured out that absence makes the heart grow fonder at certain times.

:hi:

9. Our cat Kizmet..

... takes a keen interest. :)

10. Papa jumps on my lap!

But then he runs away because the flush sound scares him! :D

11. One of our cats would try and bury the door when my dad...

Was in the bathroom. It was hilarious, Annie would be over there trying to pull up floor tiles and move them in front of the door.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. My dog has to escort everyone to and from the bathroom.

Come to think of it, Jessie thinks she has to escort everyone everywhere they go. That can make for one tired Sheltie. :hi:

[VOX]

14. On the contrary, my cats give me no privacy...

They just think it's all fine and dandy, and interesting to boot.

If I close the door, I see paws waving wildy under it, and hear little cries coming from the other side of it. I'm so "wrapped," I let 'em in.

They know I'm an soft touch.

[Starlight]

32. Mine do that, too. n/t

[TrogL]

15. Mine help

by their definition of "help".

[Big Kahuna]

16. Human hypocacy.

Humans are allowed to shit in the house, animals are not.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. very possible answer there

they are nervous because they think you are a pack-mate and you are shitting in the house and will be punished?

[Blue-Jay]

17. Hell no.

If I forget to close the door, Ash (the cat) will wander in an look at me as if I had just fouled his water bowl.

[woofless]

18. Yes. Everyone else's pets run away when I am enthroned.

My dogs are used to it by now though.

[joeybee12]

19. Hell no! One of my cats runs INTO the bathroom as soon as I walk in there

When she was a kitten, she came barreling in and jumped onto the open toilet, and nearly fell in! (I was standing).

She's not THAT curios anymore, but she still thinks something's up when I walk in!

[Misunderestimator]

22. My cat comes running into the bathroom as well

rubbing up against my legs... playing with the toilet paper... jumping in the bathtub to play "bat the shower curtain"... etc. silly thing.

[joeybee12]

26. Yeah, and it's not like she walks in--she really runs in, like she thinks

something great is gonna happen!

They're always both in the bathtub because when they were kittens my apartment's tub had a very fast leak, and they would love to stick their tongues under and drink from it. Now I have two water bowls in the tub and they prefer that over their regular drinking bowl!

[skygazer]

23. My cat yowls at the door

And when I let him in, he jumps up on the vanity and insists I fill the basin so his Highness can get a drink.

They're worse than kids! But of course, I do it.

[Pithlet]

24. Mine always goes in with me

And then sits by the door. It's as if he's guarding for me. It's really cute. Like what the cats used to do in ancient Egypt.

[Dookus]

25. no

the opposite. Two cats LOVE to follow me in, and the dog INSISTS on it. I have to lock him out, or I'll end up peeing on his head.

[deadparrot]

27. Nope. My cat scratches at the door.

[politicat]

28. Nope... they play life guard.

After all, I'm around all of that nasty, evil water, right? I MUST be in danger.

I have cats. I haven't had a dog in many years, so ...

Pcat

[Red State Rebel]

29. Heck no, it gets to be a real party in there with 3 dogs and 2 cats...

It looks like a parade anywhere you go in the house, they go with you.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. Mr.GoddessOfGuinness finally started closing the door

after the dog came in to drink from the font.

Heehee.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

31. Serious LOL on that one!
