Even Ultimate Cat Lovers Don’t Know These Feline Facts
The Reason Your Cat Follows You Into the Bathroom
Cats are mysterious little creatures. One second they’re pretending you don’t exist, then the next they’re scurrying to follow you into the bathroom. But if you’ve noticed your cat always seems to follow you into the bathroom, there might be a reason why.
While there’s no concrete evidence to explain why cats love following their humans to the bathroom, Mikel Delgado, a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis, has some ideas. “Their litter box might be in there, so it could be a room that smells very familiar,” she says. “Cats also probably know that when we are on the toilet, we are a captive audience — nowadays we are so busy and distracted that many cats are probably looking for an opportunity to have our undivided attention!”
