When you adopt a new family, remember that they may have hygienic practices that are somewhat… different from yours. Always remember to be tolerant of those whose ways are strange and unfamiliar (or if that fails, just don’t look).
A Public Service Announcement for Cats
November 18, 2011 By
Gorgeous kitteh needs to edyoocate his pet hooman.
Love it!
Ah!! My eyes, my beautiful green eyes!! Make him stop already 11!!!
Those eyes, they’re like black opals.
LOL! Oh, man, that’s terribly cute…
My cats insist on coming with me to the bathroom and won’t leave me alone wile I’m “busy” there. I always suspected they were trying to tell me I’m “doing it” wrong
Your theory explains everything. My dog is in on it too.
At my house, we call this “poop-ervising.”
thumbs up, Kari. I’m stealing your line, OK?
By all means. It’s in the public domain.
LOL Love it!
LOL! Love the term…totally describes my little “poopervisors”.
mine used to freak out at the door until i let him in and then paced nervously until i was done, then watched everything go down – i thought it was some sort of weird acid flash backs from before i adopted him and didn’t judge… life is hard on all of us you know…
that’s probably a good thing to keep in mind when we bring home our furbabies of mysterious origins.
So that is what the scoop is.
I see what you did there : )
My cats do the same and they get very upset if our hyoomin guests don’t let them come into the bathroom. My GBCWBGE will body slam the closed door to let everyone know HE WANTS ADMITTANCE TO THE BATHROOM NOW.
Um… acronym demystification please? Great Big Cat With… Bacon Gravy Everywhere?
haw!
GBCWBGE = Glossy Black Cat With Big Green Eyes. I picked it up from ceejoe. I’ve seen some other commenters use it, too. The body slamming can be pretty alarming to company if we forget to alert them beforehand. Some of our friends opt to let him come into the bathroom with them.
One of my cats insists on talking to me very loudly in a whiney voice when he comes into the bathroom with me. I imagine he’s saying “Whhhhhhy? For the love of all humanity, whhhhhhy must you put your poop there? It doesn’t go there!”
I have a cat that almost never meows…except when the bathroom door is closed, when he lets loose every stored meow. I will now consider his words to be the same as yours.
Our rabbit does the same thing! Whenever I go in there I can here him snuffling just outside at the crack in the door. And then when you come out he sits there looking very expectant. Strange.
Universal Cat Motto: “You’ll Never Pee Alone.”

Dear Terry, that was very funny , REALLY ! B D
It’s good that the kitties are so tolerant of us humans.
he had me at meow…
Is the cat upset because the human child doesn’t kick the sand all over creation? Do cats get some sort of “style” points for that?
I have always believed that they do, yes. It’s the only thing that makes sense.
Yeah, my cat goes for distance.
We have 3 litterboxes for the 4 cats. The covered ones are in the laundry room & face the wall to limit litter flinging. The plain pan-style one is in our bathroom. I got so fed up with crunching litter on my bare feet that it is now empty. The cats just use th bare plastic and I just rinse it out in the shower a couple times a day (after tipping poop into the toilet). So so so much nicer now. The neurotic cat still spends 3 minutes “burying” her productions though.
That voice is familiar. Reminds me of this gem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JynBEX_kg8 “you better not put this on the internet.”
Kar – I thought the exact same thing.
iT’S already on the internet, and frankly my dear , I don’t give a beaver dam about it !!
The eyes on that cat! Amazing. I’ve never seen an orange tabby w/ eyes like that.
My Sammy – my lovely Sammy had eyes like that – and he watches me from beyond !! he was Jet Black though, and used to sneak about and pounce on people’s feet.
Yes – arachnophile it is those eyes though aint it !!
“Poop already!” Hilarious. I love this little guy.
This is so much more effective than that heavy-handed crap Sarah MacLachlan is up to. I have two cats I rescued already and this made me want another.
Oh, my…LOVE this ad! Wish everyone would adopt instead of buy. Save those pweshus aminals!!!!
Yes, it got posted to the main page! Check out the other videos. The one with the lady and the cat in the sofa is funny but sad too, at least for the couple.
And if you have a place in your home for a cat or dog, then the shelter is the first place to go.
They will love you forever and a day!
Thought I was the only one… one of my cats scratches to get in the bathroom when the door’s closed.. Small bathroom so I can lean over and let her in. It’s actually “Our Time”: I pick her up and cuddle while I’m “busy”. Yeah. Weird, I know but we’re all friends here, right? This is the main time this cat, my 17 year old, cuddles with me. Why? She thinks it’s “Prime Time”? who knows what they’re thinking, but this is my Honey and I love her! (in fact Honey is my avatar over there to the right)
Honey is such a pretty princess, SoCalSis!
No wonder she rules you 
i agree, she’s a beauty!
and btw, chillin with the cats while on the john’s one of my fave hobbies too. they’re pretty sure it’s all about them, i think…
Well..humans are more than welcome to use the litter box too!
