Rupert the Preternaturally Smart Cat would force his way into the bathroom and then demand to be petted. After all, you weren't doing anything important, and there you were, all right at petting level. It was an opportunity, and he'd seize it.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

Congrats to Jessica and Ethan! Yay, baby!
I have had a weird sinus thing since June basically which has turned me into a snot monster. I have tried everything, Sudafed, Coricidin, Claritin, Loratidine. Nothing works. What I wouldn't give for a day without kleenex.
Also, DH and I have no problem being in the bathroom together, no matter what's going on, but I must have the bathroom door closed. Always.

Hmm. Just checked, and thankfully my bathroom door will close to with a little effort, though it normally sticks about an inch open or drifts all the way open against the wall. Out of luck if I want to lock it though, so it's definitely not my hiding place of choice in case of zombie plague.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
My daughter's cats were the same way, although they had a preference for showing up when I showered or took a bath. Particularly when I took a bath. Tucker would always come and patrol the top edge of the bathtub and sometimes sit with his tail in the water. We would play "fish" with my toes, until his paw got too wet and he'd sit there shaking it off and licking it dry. Silly cat. Neither one of the cats were big on coming in when I peed. They might wander in, but then wander right back out.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Jessica and FoneBone!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

kat p.-- sounds like a sinus infection, which will require stronger measures than OTC. Get thee to a doctor-type-person!
I made applesauce-spice muffins from scratch for breakfast! Delicious and virtuous, too!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and there you were, all right at petting level.Pretty sure this was Kittenish's idea. And I was not moving except for being at petting level, so I should *obviously* be petting her. Cute for a skittish creature, now it's just indentured pettitude.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Theo, many people have told me the same since all my friends, family and co-workers got sick of the trail of tissues after about a month. I just really hate going to the doctor. But soon. I actually looked for one the other day, so that's a good first step.
House of Flying Daggers is such a pretty movie. I love just having it on in the background. Every time I look up, it's like "Beautiful" and then it's back to work.

Congratulations, Jessica and E! More savvy Buffistas, yay!
I tend not to close the bathroom door, since I live alone. I do close it when people are visiting--I figure the conversation can handle a pause. However if I'm in a restroom with a friend or coworker sometimes we'll keep talking from one stall to another.
