To think she is doing it deliberately?

Every night, I run myself a lovely, deep, hot bath, lie down in it, maybe with a delicious gin and tonic, preparing to relax after a long day at work.
And every night, without fail, ten minutes in, the bastard (indoor) cat pushes the door open and comes in for a shit (small house, litter tray in bathroom). So now I have to try to relax in a room that smells like off pork.
She's doing it on purpose isn't she. Git..

MipHound has a dried of treat that I got him. It's revolting - one of the most disgusting looking things I've come across.

He doesn't like out. Hut if the house is empty for more than an hour he puts it on my bed. I'm not sure if it's revenge or if he thinks I like it so is trying to tempt me back.

Get an enclosed litter tray.

DustandRubble · 05/01/2018 22:20

I move the litter tray into the hallway while having a bath. Can you temporarily shift it or would your cat take that as an insult?

Pandarific I want that poster!

Yabvvu to be in the bath at the same time she wants to shit in there. Find something more constructive to do like roast her a chicken or smoke a salmon. It's not her problem your house is so small that you keep your bath in her litter tray room.

Mine guards me in the bath. If I have a shower, he guards me there too, then gets in to drink the water...

Stick it outside the door and lock the door ? Our cat likes to do a huge stinker just as we get into bed and turn off the lights Angry

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 05/01/2018 23:14

I do believe you owe us (at least) one cat photo. It’s the law.

jedenfalls · 05/01/2018 23:15

I thought it was just us.

We have several litter trays and 2 cats, they BOTH wait till I’m in the bath then take turns to curl out a MASSIVE steaming turd each into the litter tray in the bathroom. I always thought cats would only poo in a clean litter tray. That is broadly true, unless I’m having a bath.

My old cat used to wander in and look at me in the bath with a ,‘what the actual fuck‘ expression.

I have 2 cats who go mad at the door to come in and stare at me when I'm having a shit Hmm

Cats are bloody weird Grin

Namechanged36 · 05/01/2018 23:20

I was looking after my Mum's dog.
Decided to have a bath, ran it and shut the door. Got in for a nice soak.

After about 5 mins I was sure I could smell something. I ignored it for a while but had to investigate as it was getting overpowering.

Opened the door and saw the dog standing there next to a massive shit.

End of relaxing bath.

All cats are of course Goddesses. AlpacaCat knows this and consistently rubs it in.

I can't find the emoji that is crying with laughter, but I am. Great thread, thank you!! Animals are so great, completely themselves and always honest, got to love them! I'm sorry your bath keeps getting stink bombed OP. Maybe get a diffuser, they're pretty cheap now and you can add whatever scents you like (make it strong;). I have three stinky pets and am loving my diffuser!

whydobirds he just goes and finds random things to knock over. I hear the random things fall. I never find them. This is a really small house. Unless she can open a portal to an alternate reality, I don't understand what it is she does with my stuff.

My cats do this. A few days ago I was happily enjoying a lovely bath when I heard an almighty crash from downstairs and then the sound of a tin hitting the kitchen floor. I went downstairs to see what the little fuckers darlings had thrown on to the floor - nothing. I ended up checking every room, and even the windows, but there was no broken glass anywhere, nor any tins on the floors. I am convinced one of them is channelling their inner mynah bird and has learned to do the exact sound of things being thrown on to the floor just to confuse and irritate me.

My cat sits on my chest every bloody time, curls up and purrs surrounded by bubbles.

StarWarsFanatic · 06/01/2018 01:11

My little darling will only vomit on carpet or rugs. 80% of my home is laminate but she will run and find the nearest carpet when she has the urge. Also she shat on the rug in the hour or so between our house-sitter leaving and us returning from holiday, how she knew is beyond me.

She also has a tendency to climb into my trousers when I am on the loo (will cry if I close the door so she can't get in and do the paw under door thing). Luckily she has stopped doing this every time now, it is down to about once a month.

However I believe the record has to go to a cat of my mother's. When we were staying with them husband needed the loo and cat wouldn't leave the room so DH just shut cat in there with him. He kept jumping behind the hamper (next to the toilet) and swiping at it, after a while a pigeon jumped up. It was a good job DH was sat on the loo.

Cats are wankers with fur. I have 6 of them. They like to watch me bathe, they like to also watch ME use the bathroom, I am sure they are thinking what is she complaining about, have you smelt her offerings lol. They love to wake me up then go back asleep, they especially like to see me going to work daily, while they sleep on the bed/sofa. They adore sleeping on my clean laundry so I look like a crazy cat lady covered in hair. They also sit locked outside my bedroom door wailing maaaaaaaaaaaa while I am trying to have sex. I think they think the other half is killing me lol and no I don't care how damn cruel it is, my sex life is not a fecking spectator sport for bored cats.

I once housesat for someone who had two beautiful Burmese Blue cats. This was back in the days of the Playstation One. One of said cats would press the 'open' button on the playstation, do a perfectly round shit in the disk bay, then close the lid again.

Ah we have a young tortoiseshell as well. She is an absolute A-grade bitch! What's the point of being so pretty when you've got an ugly disposition??! 😁😁
