Shower with cat in the bathroom

This may seem a bit random! Had kitten 3 weeks. When she’s not preoccupied by her toys, she follows me and waits patiently outside any doors I’ve closed.
I want have a shower this afternoon, meaning she could be waiting outside the door for longer than usual. If I let her in the bathroom, would she be freaked out by the water and by seeing me in it?

The water would be a bit scary. I would leave the door open.

I don't think cats care about your nudity tbh!!

Leave the door open a little bit? Then it's her choice to come in or not.

Nope she should be fine. I have to lock my cat out of the bathroom when I am bathing as she literally climbs in with me. Loveable but annoying. Lol

My kitten will open the bathroom door to watch me in the shower and play with the droplets of water through the glass of the cubicle. I do evict her from the actual shower itself before turning the water on to prevent injury though!

Be warned, my cat likes nothing more than a big smelly shit as soon as I get into the bath

Leave the door open. But be aware she might decide to try and join you.

Mine did this, there was space for them to sit on the top of the showerdoor.
First time i had a shock, glanced up to see this face staring down at me from above!

cats are very discreet, she won't tell anyone what she saw!

Most of my cats have shown an interest in our bathroom habits, one (idiotcat) used to like to press his little pussy cat nose up against the shower doors while people were in there, and then as soon as the shower was off he would just into the tray and sit in the puddle. And sometimes drink the water.

My cats jump on the side of the bath and try to attack the water Grin

Hopefully yours is more cat like than mine Grin

Where else would you shower with a cat?

You have clearly never read the short story Tobermory by Saki Grin

Mine is obsessed with watching me shower, he loves the sound of the water. Either that or he's a giant perv, not sure which. Grin

caoraich · 24/05/2018 07:30

Mine sit in the sink and stare at me through the glass screen.

Perverts.

Branleuse · 24/05/2018 07:40

my kittens are really interested when i have a shower and always have at least one of them waiting outside. Then they go and sit in the shower tray after

OccasionalNachos · 24/05/2018 07:43

Yeah, mine likes to sit in the bath after someone’s had a shower. He then looks affronted at getting his tail/paws wet.

Idiot.

ShamelessEjeculate · 24/05/2018 07:43

I saw this on another thread a couple of weeks ago. These cats are really not happy about the showering of their human:

senioritabonita · 24/05/2018 07:45

Mine sits in the tray and grooms herself in the mist - it’s funny.

Heratnumber7 · 24/05/2018 07:54

My cat likes to drink the dregs of my shower water Grin.

problembottom · 24/05/2018 09:23

My cat used to sit under the sink, safely out the way of the water but close to his mum, while I showered. Very cute! Only when he was a kitten.

He once did it when my mum had a shower, she didn’t realise until she stepped out and he emerged from under the sink. She was not happy. Grin

Cheto · 24/05/2018 09:31

@TheCatFromOuterSpace GrinGrinGrin for some reason I read it as your cat can't wait for you to do a shit when you get in the bath Confused

ElizaDontlittle · 24/05/2018 17:46

Mine sits on my towel, has done since he was a tiny kitten. He then refuses to move even if I drip all over him and I have to pick the whole towel up in the end. It's become somewhat bedraggled (Towel not Cat).

Bob wants a shower, then it dripped on him, and he legged it in surprise Grin
