Hi! I have a 5 month old kitten who is the sweetest boy in the land. He never bites, doesn’t scratch, and he has a purr so loud that it could start an earthquake. He is a very snuggly guy and usually follows me room to room like he’s my own personal shadow. I keep my bathroom door closed, because with open access he WILL pull the shower curtain and rod down, destroy my TP rolls and bath towels, and try to eat on my skincare products. In this economy, I cannot be replacing TP rolls on the daily, and I also worry about him getting smacked by the shower curtain rod when he pulls it down and/or poisoning himself by eating something he shouldn’t. SO TL;DR, his bathroom access is permanently revoked and has been for about 3 months. 

But the dude comes SPRINTING when he hears the bathroom door open. Like he could be in a dead sleep, completely ragdoll and drooling in his cat tower all the way *across the house*, but the second he hears the bathroom door, he is immediately there. Even if I have my bedroom door closed (my bathroom is an en suite), I can hear him sprint to my bedroom door to stand there. He’s actually spooked me a few times because it’s like he instantly appears at the bathroom door. If I leave the door open, he just sits there and stares at me while I go. If I close the door, he just loafs on the side of the door against the wall and is sitting there when I come out of the bathroom. My question is (out of sheer curiosity), why does he do this?? He doesn’t sit with his back to me, so if he’s protecting me, he’s doing a poor job 😂 What is this fascination with the bathroom door opening?? Is it just because he remembers how many fun things there are to destroy in there?? 😂
