THe bathroom door is the only one of my interior door that ha a doorknob and will therefore stay closed when you close it The dog will stand guard outside the closed door (well, lie on the floor in the hallway but in an on guardish way) but he won't come in. I think that even though we have never given him a bath in this tub, he knows what it's for. He'll also run inside if we start unspooling the hose. Baths are bad.
The one cat will occasionally decide that since that door is closed she must be on the other side of it because she is that sort of portal-worshipping feline, but really she doesn't notice most of the time and the other one doesn't care at all. Not now that there are linen closets easily accessible from the hall.
I've come home to muddy footprints in the tub more than once. Where she got the mud is still a mystery.

I'm convinced they can spontaneously generate mud.
I like your dinner plan, Laura. DH thinks 7 is way too early to eat and it drives me crazy.
Percy knows the danger of the shower monster. If anyone is in the shower he must be in there, too. At least he no longer tries to hamstring us as we get into the shower. Matt thought it was sorta funny when I ended up with 4 paws and teeth on the back of my knee. Until it happened to his ankle. Percy was banned from the bathroom for awhile.
I felt better after a nap. now i feel all loopy again
The Cat Daniel is absolutely convinced that teh hoomans need a cat wingman any time they venture into the bathroom, for any purpose.
One of the cats always sits on The Boy's lap whenever The Boy is on the john. Always. She never tries it with me, because I think she knows there'd be hell to pay.
Eating earlier is better if you can. Partly because it can take 5 hours to digest a meal - not so good for sleep. Yes, I have read at least 3 books on how to sleep better.
The last place we lived had shelves in the bathroom above the washer and dryer where I kept my folded sheets. The cats liked to sleep up there. Unless the shower was on, then they had to get out Get Out GET OUT!
Ok, I have a question that is completely from left field.
I need to know which Buffistas sprog are in the 3-4 year old range.
I know I should be able to rattle of names, but dang it - they are all still babies in my brain.
Yeah, I've suspected for a while that the late dinners are messing with my sleep. The only way I'd be able to eat earlier would be separate dinners and that seems like a really bad idea. I was raised with a strong "whatever else is going on we eat dinner together as a family" and it really took root in my hindbrain.
