Mom is on her way here. The 1 1/2 hour drive has so far taken her 2 1/2 hours due to all the rain.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bartleby comes into the bathroom and puts his front paws up on my knees for a little eye-to-eye time. I have no idea why.

“Not dead yet!”
I guess the one thing we can take away from this discussion is that critters is weird.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, the animals in my house seem to think the bathroom is our very special meeting place too.

If I leave a towel outside the shower, it becomes a great huge tugging to begin drying myself. Bonus? Organic towel warmer...just add kibble.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We recently repurposed an old memory-foam mattress topper that was getting too thin for our bed -- it turns out that if we cut it and stack it 4 thicknesses high, it makes a superb dog bed. Kato is now loafing like a freaking KING. I'm expecting him to request silk sheets any day now.
And the cats are looking at it with a gleam in their eyes that leads me to believe they're going to request a Sooper Special heated bed soon, in the interest of parity.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My cat always has to sit in the hallway right outside the bathroom while I'm using it. I leave the door open when I'm alone, but always close it when someone is over, including Mom, although I will leave it cracked open if I'm using the shower when Mom's visiting. That way, Amarna can come in and use her litter box if she has to while I'm soaping myself up.
I've had times when I've been showering and all of the sudden I'll hear a very plaintive "Mrrrwww?" coming from the sink, where Amarna has stationed herself to check on me, since I'm obviously having a brain melt if I'm willingly getting myself wet. Also, she occasionally likes to watch the toilet flush--it fascinates her almost as much as the DVD/CD tray (when I pop it open to put in a new disc, she's immediately there, using her paw to either push it shut or block it from closing all the way).

Darby knows that we usually walk right after I shower in the morning so she'll keep coming by the door to check whenever I'm in the shower. Like, every 20-30 seconds. I don't know how she hasn't figured out that it's the water turning off that's the real signal of impending walk.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
As soon as my butt meets the toilet, a cat magically appears.
Leo also likes to watch the swirly water go down.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My ex and I had no bathroom privacy with each other. We took a shower together every morning, and the rest kind of flowed from that. My DH and I are more private. I don't mind if he comes in while I am taking a bath (which he always does) but I like peeing, tweezing eyebrows, etc., by myself.
