It’s an unsettling level of scrutiny for someone just trying to pee, but cats are creepy little voyeurs, every single one
What do you want, small friend? Photo: Getty Images/EyeEm Humans have all these conspiracy theories about cats: That they loathe us, quietly but palpably, because we have subjugated them via our more imposing size and forced petting; that if they happen to find themselves trapped alone with our corpses, they would have zero qualms about eating our faces, lips first; that whatever sweetness they spend on us has been coolly calculated to win food.

Schoville suggested that the purportedly common practice of keeping one’s bathroom door closed at all times might make the space an appealing “novelty” for pets.
Carole Wilbourn, The Cat Therapist, tells me that, if you want to understand cat behavior, you have to understand “what’s coming from underneath.” You have to consider a room’s energy as well as the vibe you bring to it. “If one went to the bathroom to scream and yell and carry on, to dance loudly, I’m sure most cats would not take the opportunity to join,” Wilbourn explained.
