he says "do you know my dish is only half full?!?!?"

Their best opportunity to sniff your butt...

My boston terrier insisted on being in the bathroom with me. But he would politely turn facing the closed door and remain there until I opened the door to let us out!

My dogs think the toilet is the Petting Time Throne.

Telling you to invest in an air freshener.

My kitties are very anxious if there is a door between us. Are they just snoopy or what? If I am gone when they hear the garage door open they congregate by the door to the garage. If I come in with someone they scatter to various hiding spots. If I am alone they race me up the stairs. They win. If I am in a room in my house with the door closed they are outside and generally trying to get my attention by reaching under the door. Right now they are both within 4 feet of me. They're not always my shadows, but a good part of the time I'm home they're close to me.

Gideon is exactly the same. Maybe it's something with ginger cats, If I go to the bathroom, Gideon is right there, and he has a definite routine. I have to scratch his back for a few minutes, then pet him. After that, he'll wander off.

We had a cat that insisted on accompanying whoever used the restroom. It was limited to those who ilived in the house though.

Aww Morris looks a lot like my Mazie who passed a week and a half ago.

Does he allow you the same when he goes to the toilet in his tray?

Mine want their petting in there.

They do seem to be conversant in the bathroom.
