My brothers cat used to do this until he kept visiting her while she was using the litter box. Broke that habit right quick.
We have a litter box in the bathroom, the cat loves to do pair pooping
You watch over it at the vulnerable pooping time, never know if a larger predator is about to burst in through the door.
Never mess with a cat using litter
Cat sits there staring at you with disgust
It wants to remind you about the way it poops.
With smug superiority.
That’s also why they always show you their butthole.
Cats mark their territory with urine and feces. The only place you poop or pee is your bathroom.
In your cats eyes it’s your holiest place, therefore it wants in.
Most Italian cat 🤌
I have a cat who has collectively become known as “the bathroom cat” among our regular guests. She normally hangs out in the linen closet if she’s not holding audience atop the vanity demanding her scritches tax or waiting for an offering of running water into the sink.
It wants to protect you in your moment of vulnerability
