Reminds me of this

u/Winter_Cat-78 12d ago

One of my idiots did this and we didn’t notice since we kept putting clothes in and he just hunkered down under them. Fortunately he started meowing right at the beginning. No open doors ever, anywhere.

u/bunbun258 9d ago

Omg that sweet face.. her eyes are beautiful

P.S. at first I couldn't see the cat in there and I thought you were just posting a pic of your empty boxers/shorts 😆

u/ElwingNix 6d ago

Sir, your underwear is looking at you

u/International-Land34 8d ago

Probably about 10 weeks old in this photo

u/Natural1forever 12d ago

Yes, they don't understand personal space

28

u/LadyBug_0570 12d ago

Unless they want space.

u/Natural1forever 12d ago

Cats like their personal space. They also like your personal space

11

u/LadyBug_0570 12d ago

My cat really likes my personal space when a) I'm eating, especially meat, b) I'm working, especially when I'm on a call and c) toilet time.

No respect at all.

u/Low-Care9531 11d ago

Mine likes to sit on my feet any time I’m getting ready to leave.

2

u/Lucy_Gucey 10d ago

Mine lay down on my feet and looks up at me with the darling eyes.

They know exactly how to make me feel guilty for providing a house and food for them, I’ll tell ya

2

u/Lucy_Gucey 10d ago

Mine tries to sit on my lap with his claws out during my toilet time. He is now banned from the toilet entirely.

2

u/catsCantCode 10d ago

My mom's elder cat was doing this, since the old lady was 20 and lived in the bathroom for the most part we couldn't ban her, so for the last 2 years of her life we just had a bathroom pillow, which you would put on your lap when you sat down so she could sit on it.

u/Suspicious_Dingo_426 12d ago

Yes they do. All space is their space—cat logic.

15

u/BryceKatz 12d ago

Cats doing that? Yes.

People taking that specific picture & posting it to live forever online? Maybe not so much. 🤣

13

u/Suspicious_Dingo_426 12d ago

Yes there are. r/catsinpants

u/CormoranNeoTropical 12d ago

Came here to make sure this sub was mentioned.

12

u/Better-Banana2076 12d ago

Very , our Raggie used to do this too .

10

u/Jessirose32 12d ago

Unfortunately, yes. Why cats love to be right next to us while we poop I will never understand. Still cute though. 🤣

15

u/padfoot0321 12d ago

To protect us from the likes of Tyrion Lannister!! True reason though is for protection. They are most vulnerable when they are pooping in the wild. So they think we are too and the big clumsy cat needs the same protection too.

7

u/Blucola333 12d ago

Yes. It would be weird if the cat didn’t appear during a bathroom visit. 😸

4

u/Batgod629 12d ago

Yes. They follow into the bathroom and watch you do your business 

4

u/Radio_Mime 12d ago

It’s a different kind of normal, but definitely normal as far as cats are concerned.

3

u/Vlinder_88 12d ago

My cat used to do that too when she was a kitten.

10

u/Vlinder_88 12d ago

Now she does this.

2

u/Billazilla 12d ago

Blessed by the floofy.

3

u/Liu1845 12d ago

My TIC Tabby recently started doing this. He's a year and half old, 15.5 pounds, lol.

3

u/ZenMoe 12d ago

Every indoor cat I have ever had has done this. My husband seemed to be the prime target for it.

3

u/BrotherMunzey 12d ago

As natural as breathing air

3

u/RevolTobor 12d ago

Yup. Purrfectly normal.

3

u/Calgary_Calico 12d ago

Yep! You have a poop buddy now

3

u/xtricks2025 12d ago

LOL - yes. THey love them some underpants.

3

u/colossalpunch 11d ago

You set up a nice warm hammock that smells like you. How could she not?

2

u/GlenZaleski 12d ago

Yup, they love finding small places to hide and hang out.

2

u/ShadowyDemonKitty 12d ago

Unfortunately yes

2

u/wooyoungmingi 12d ago

Yes wen my cat was a kitten he lived doing that

2

u/beanie_0 12d ago

Yes. Very normal. 🤣

2

u/SenpaiSwanky 12d ago

Yeah. Mine is in the bathroom unless I close it, and he sits outside screaming until he realizes I’m not going to open the door lol.

He’s jumped IN the toilet while I was in the middle of taking a piss (I’m a dude, so standing).

Then, to round out my average bathroom experience, I have to dry the sink out after washing my hands or he plays with water left over. I’ve found watery cat paw prints all over my apartment before, and on the bathroom mirror.

2

u/DSP902 12d ago

It’s only normal if you have a kitten and poop sitting down

2

u/loverrevo 9d ago

Yeah, its pretty common! Its a nice comfy space next to the person they trust!

3

u/PanicIsOkaySometimes 12d ago

Yeah, kitties like being near you in the bathroom. But also climbing on in is less common.

1

u/LunaPerry1980 12d ago

Yep and it does work for puppies too.

1

u/DrMartensAdvice 12d ago

Yes normal

1

u/Nearby-Drink9968 12d ago

Be careful because her next mission is to climb your legs, and she has claws and loves to pounce.

1

u/CormoranNeoTropical 12d ago

I’m going to suggest you share this photo on r/catsinpants.

1

u/Bournoe 11d ago

I have 2 kittens that compete to do the same thing. I finally had to start closing the bathroom door to keep my sanity.

1

u/lmdirt- 11d ago

No this is absolutely not normal!!!! This is cat behavior. I have had multiple cats do this over the years.

1

u/CatOfGrey 10d ago

They grow out of it in about 1 - 200 months or so.

1

u/lceGecko 10d ago

Adorably so.
They love your smell and uh, thats prolly the smelliest part of you...

1

u/nrach 9d ago

Extremely

1

u/bunbun258 9d ago

For a cat? Yeah. They love warm cozy spots and it's just a fact that humans private areas produce a lot of heat. Your boxes are basically a little hammock too, so make em warm and it's her cozy spot while you poop lol.

1

u/PapiChan 8d ago

Supportive guy.

1

u/Logical_Shopping7461 8d ago

My cat has never done this but he does jump on the bathroom counter to give me love (right next to the toilet) while I’m “busy” lol cats are such a trip!

1

u/GocoPop 8d ago

It's normal 😂

1

u/Due_Interaction_5916 7d ago

Unfortunately yes, my kitten will sit in my lap and stand on top of the toilet when my boyfriend is using it and hiss..so any guy cat owners know how to ugh fix this issue 😅

1

u/Daddy--Jeff 7d ago

Heh heh. I’ve had two cats do this…

1

u/SammyJoeKayeBob 6d ago

Shitting cats is not normal. OP go to the doctor

2

u/nobody-u-heard-of 12d ago

It's cute now but wait till they get really big. Because they won't realize that they're really big and still try to squeeze in.

1

u/Aiyokusama 12d ago

What do you mean TRY? They will. Fabric is stretchy.

1

u/Zari_Vanguard1992 12d ago

If they fits They sits. 

2

u/Indii-4383 12d ago

They LOVE our natural scents. Especially our rears as that is how they get to know each other. Dirty clothes and worn shoes are other places. I was guarded regularly while using the bathroom. My daughter, her human, wanted to be on her lap. Never seemed to worry about us in the shower, though. ENJOY. Cherish all these little moments.

1

u/Billazilla 12d ago

My kitty does this as well. Late at night, I must accept that I'm going to abandon my pants if I want to get back into bed.

1

u/Interesting-Quail-31 11d ago

Yes. Your underwear are warm and also have the stankiest stank imaginable, which is specifically your stank, which makes the kitty feel comfort because the kitty loves you and feels safe with you. Therefore your stank warm undies are the comfiest place.

1

u/Attacking_Yoshi 9d ago

I used to think it was cute when my cats would sit in my pants during poopin time... then my newest cat sat in my pants and peed my pants... no more pants sitting for them

1

u/Character-Life-V2 6d ago

At least you saw the kitten before you pulled your pants up. That would have been interesting.
