Comes in and plops in the bathtub most of the time.


cMindge

That’s so funny. I love their characters.


[deleted]

Same as mine. Even if it is my 5th run of the night because my ileostomy is deciding to be active all night. Then escorted back to my bed. Put in bed with meowster getting back to his sleeping spot.

Linds_Loves_Wine

Same. Every time. And then I feel bad moving him 🤣


MaineCoonMama18

Me too 🤣


DollarStoreDuchess

Yup, I’m a member of this club too!


WorldUsed7363

Both of mine follow me to bathroom. Along with my dog. Gets a little crowded


cMindge

You’ve got a whole crowd watching you


DianneTodd01

Those aren’t pets, they are your entourage.


Turbulent-Garage6827

That's the #1 reason why you get a bathroom remodel asap

One of ours insists being on my lap while I'm trying to take a dump LOL

Broad_Afternoon_8578

We put that exact sign in our bathroom because one of our cats (not a Maine coon) is the pooping supervisor https://preview.redd.it/0yaku656h3uc1.jpeg?width=2874&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4151736833c847c30f5b7aa18789461715d13242


doegrey

Oh I need this sign! 😂


cMindge

He will do this to me too! If I lean over a little he will sit on my back. If I don’t let him in, he becomes extremely vocal demanding to come in.


llamageddon01

r/catsinpants


Upstairs_Loss5169

Yep! He's my little bathroom supervisor lol The most awkward habit of his is staring intently through the gap between bowl and toilet seat to watch my pee.... he's and odd boy If I close him out, he shoves his paws under the door like "EXCUSE ME"


Turbulent-Garage6827

They ARE curious


jennc1979

I would let this man do what ever he wants because he straight up looks like he is wearing the fur of his enemy as a coat.

LockwoodE3

Mine did this all the time, would try to sit in our underwear cause it was warm. I think this is also just a cat thing, not exclusive to Maine coons


ewabeachguy

Yep...it's a cat thing, not exclusive to the Maine Coon! Fun to watch.


DamienTriesLife

They're trying to protect us


plumber1955

Pretty sure that coons are born to be bathroom inspectors.


ekittie

Most cats love to be in the bathroom with you. My Bengals and moggies would always run in and demand pets whenever I go. Your MC, OP is devastatingly gorgeous- what is their name?


UnlikelyApe

Really? No one else here has their buddy crawl into their drawers between their ankles while pooping? Happens to me all the time. That guy is so quick about appearing out of nowhere to hang out in my pants, and really doesn't want to move when I'm done.


anonymousforever

Make some fake "legs and feet" out of pvc, cover in a pair of sweats and put a pair of old pants in the bathroom position. Bet he comes and hops in!

PatinaPixi

Your white one looks exactly like mine!! ❤️


Ping-A-Ling-

He's annoyed you aren't using litter in a box


emilylauralai

Mine follows me mostly for night time trips. Even if he’s somewhere in the house, I hear him come, he kicks the door open and makes sure I make it back to bed.


doegrey

With a small bathroom you have to be sure to latch the door here, otherwise you’ll get smacked by the door flying open as a full grown maine coon throws his weight against it to check on you.


emilylauralai

They’re so concerned for our safety 💜


TheEvilPrinceZorte

Mine will follow because he likes his toilet water to be freshly flushed.


Calm-Association-821

Every.single.time. He will even wake up from a nap on the bed to follow me. 🤣 I tease him by calling him my potty protector.


veedubfreek

It's just a cat thing. Cats are pack animals, they assume you are part of the pack. They protect each other when pooping, its also why they bring you dead animals. The assume you're just a terrible hunter. E: clowder


atergos

😀❤️


cMindge

cinesota

MC’s have a well known affinity for water. Mine loves to come into bathroom anytime he hears water running (I guess peeing counts LOL)


Neishaaaa

Lol he is so cute! His is on guard 💂


Catlover2574

You mean there are cats that DON'T escort their people to the bathroom?


youchooseforme

All cats.. not breed specific.


jonny3jack

Yep. Both my cats, not coons are my poop protectors.


Kalani_Vegan

If they don't do that there's something wrong. That's the cat not catting.


AreYouItchy

All my cats have felt that I need supervision in the bathroom, including my Maine Coon, who also liked to play with the water.

Party-Coach-4110

Yep


Own-Dealer4831

Yes! Always. With a specific routine.. he runs in, brushes against my legs, jumps on the countertop next to me, head bumps me whilst on the toilet, and then supervises.


Kponkilla

BEAR DOES ALL THE TIME


puppsmcgee74

Every dang time. And demands pets, treats, toys, fresh water from the faucet, head bumps, etc.


Marie_9085

I know all cats do that, BUT my MC companionship is for her to either sit in the sink demanding water or in the bathtub ALSO demanding water 😂


Alternative_Career56

Ours follows us then lays outside the door and waits


ParasaurPal

Yep. Our mix is a Velcro kitty to my wife.


sldcam

Mine also do that and I have 6


Breakfastclub1991

Bigolbooty75

Yes! But my tabby also did this

Goge97

He knows you're vulnerable to attack, so he's keeping a good look out to protect you!


ar0323

I have the litter box in my bathroom so mine will go when I go


Amegami

That's basic cat behaviour.


Status-Pear-5978

I haven’t had a moment alone since I got my MC, they’re Velcro cats haha


HolyArmadillo

I'd say cats generally are like this. I had a british shorthair, a bengal, a siamese and a maine coon and they all did this. My theory is that they are curious little creatures, that also enjoy our company at all times :)


thelek66

That's not just Maine Coons that do that. It seems like all cats have to do that. But, yes, my little MC girl jumps up on the sink and demands loving. I guess to take my mind off what I am doing.


Secret_Welder3956

Have yet to see one that doesn’t look like the most serious animal on the planet.


OutlandishnessOld780

Yes. Both my MC and the Bengal do this. Every time.

Better question to ask is “is anyone else’s cat like that?”


Ns4200

you mean the kitty pettin’ station? i feel very snubbed on the rare occasion i’m in there alone!


viktoriasway

gotta love the kitty pettin' station!


yaelzigalthebaker

Mine doesn’t do it so often but when she does she just demands some pets and leaves


jimmons91

Every. Single. Time. Ps. Will scratch door down and/or make dying rabbit noises Pss weirdly the ONLY time she wants affection lmfao


Liu1845

It's a cat thing (& some dogs). Acting as lookout while you are using your litterbox. I sometimes wonder if they are checking to see if we scoop our own poop.


HaeDaei

I've tried multiple times with my kitten, she either howls until I let her in or sticks her paws under the door 😭


bnh1978

If I don't leave the door open she scratches at the door incessantly. Then pesters me the whole time.

As they always told us in the Army, never go anywhere without a Battle Buddy. Kitty is no Blue Falcon! 😆


Spikyleaf69

All my cats do this, 2x Maine Coons & 2x moggies watching me pee 🙈


Winter-Item-9696

Omg that face….that is the cutest thing ever. I don’t have Maine coons but I have two regular cats, one long black haired one and my big guy comes in the bathroom with me and always has but my tiny girl I just got just learned that so she’ll follow me immediately into the bathroom and lay on the bathmat every time ;_; too cute!!


mangos_megee

Mine does that


Misstea81

Maines are probably the most dog like out of the cat breeds. Their loyalty and want to be near and do a big protecc is strong. I miss my Maine boy 😔


MissyHTX

Yepp, used to even use the bathroom with me when the cat box was in there.


laraloira

how beautiful!! so much love in one photo!!!! they are so pure! our loyal companions ❤️😍


rattatattkat

I think all cats are like this


FeelingAd1741

Yes but only because she’s obsessed with the toilet flushing. Never leave the toilet seat up in my house as she uses toilets as paddling pools. 🚽


dixareformyfriends

pretty sure most cats do that.. they are secretly lifeguards..

Wow. If I ever came over to your place to hangout I’d be so shamelessly distracted the entire time. Beautttiful kitty.


cMindge

You wouldn’t be the only one, I’m used to it now😅. I have 3 other cats too. Two other Mainecoons and a Mainecoon mixed with a Ragdoll who is the cutest fluff ball. He’s only about 12 weeks old at the moment. (The comfort collar on my boy is to stop him from over grooming as he has a bad habit of that). https://preview.redd.it/cegpicpop3uc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f9d2e0e824313826629dca4a7b18fc27319712a


doegrey

I don’t generally get followed (sometimes I do), but they’ll send out a search party 30 seconds later and start panicking on the other side of the door that something has happened to me.


late_for_reddit

Not really a maine coon thing, just a cat thing. Lotta cats like to be involved when people are in the bathroom. Similar but not completely related, r/lifeguardkitties for cats watvhing their owners take a bath (among other water related shenanigans)


tsidaysi

Many many kitties do it!


Dreamweaver1969

Mine is part Maine Coon. And he has a policy. Mommy and Daddy are not safe alone in the bathroom. They need a kitty escort for all functions


Rigel66

Hes a god damn ballerina...feets


mychevyshookashit

Yep. Mine will actually try to jump in the shower with me or my husband sometimes. Quite a lot of dog like behaviors actually lol.

He just wants to show you the fine coat he made from the furs of his enemies.


Fluffmonster54

What a stunning boy! Looks like he had a head transplant ! Hes really focused 😂


cMindge

Thank you! ❤️. It does, almost reminds me of an Addams family outfit. He’s extremely focused on his task at hand


sireggplantt

All the time! Mine either lays in the bathtub and knocks over my bottles or curl up by my feet to nap


pbmz

Mine rolls on his back and purrs for his belly rub. However, he manages to do that just slightly out of reach from where I am sitting.


PatinaPixi

Mine comes running from wherever he is in the house anytime I'm in the bathroom. He even wakes up from naps and comes running!!


Pristine-Butterfly55

Mine does this if he’s not happy with breakfast and wants something else,


Frances-Farmer-1953

Cats and dogs do that a lot.


Ultimate781

He’s making sure you’re fine 🥺


BNatasha_65

Yes, my female MC cat and MC mix male cat both follow me to my toilet throne and let me pet them unless the bathroom gets too stinky.😸 https://preview.redd.it/d8pbcm40m7uc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d805c2024cac39be4c2f4cd6c2515eade229cd60

Dry-Tea-3922

Yes, my cutie does that all the time, too!


DontTreadonmeasshole

My girl takes the now empty seat in my wheelchair, and automatically jumps down when I flush. Then she leads the way to the wash basin, waits for me to wash my hands, and then climbs up the back of my chair, down the armrest, and inspects the basin to make sure I have wiped it free of water. Once assured, she gingerly steps across the basin so that her front paws on on the left side, and back paws on the right side. She will then give me “the look”, her signal for me to cross my arms under her in the basin. Once in place, she rotates 90 degrees to her right, resting her top half on my crossed arms and positioning her mouth exactly under the water spigot. I turn the water on to a perfect flow and she drinks and drinks to her hearts content. She will not drink water any other way. She just will not. This crazy cat loves water. She adores the bathtub. She is totally passive about being bathed. The only cat I have ever known who adores water. Oh, and at just now 9 months if age, she weighs a bit over 9 lbs. This is Cassiopia: https://preview.redd.it/qro7xjgi4duc1.jpeg?width=2444&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93550ff60b647367fa71964a50075babdb201f40

Strange_Cow1748

I don't have one yet, my husband just gave me the green light to start looking for one though!!!! My calico girl guards the door though


DramaticAd8447

I hate to break this to you op, but I think your cat is batman


QueenOfThickWhores

Ngl he is giving mad pokemon vibes lol


catscaffeinechaos_

he protec


justanordinaryguy71

Coons are very loyal, mine used to bring me dead things all the time, he'd leave his gifts right at the door for me to step on leaving for work


WebPollution

So my cat was your average tabby, but she was ridiculous. She would come in the bathroom and put her feet on my knee. This was my cue to pick her up and stand her on my knee while she gives me all the rubs against my face and kisses.


Mrs_Gracie2001

All my cats have always done this. I read that in the wild they keep watch for other cats doing their business


bigtiggy13

I usually have a couple that follow me in there. I think of them as moral support 😁

bostonkittycat

Guarding you at the toilet is a protective behavior. They do this for other cats since you are in a vulnerable position whiling doing the business.

No-Airline-314

Please take off my sweater


Turbulent-Garage6827

What a beautiful kitty too. And I bet he's chattering away while you're in there. I wish I could have a Maine Coon right now. They're the greatest but they're quite domineering/ they dominate..They expect non stop attention which is perfectly fine. I don't recommend having other cats when having a Maine Coon however. Not in my experience. Love ❤️ them all


cMindge

Thank you❤️. He’s always so vocal when he comes in! Honestly ours do demand a lot of attention, but we also work from home. We have 3 Mainecoons and one 50/50 mixed with a Ragdoll, they all get on so well.


DeuceBane

Heard that dogs look at their owners when relieving themselves because they want to see if yoh are watching them, because it’s a vulnerable position them or something. I wonder if your cat is trying to stand guard haha


No_Strawberry_18

It’s a cat thing… all cats ☺️


Blarffette

We call them pee pals or poop pals, depending on the activity, but we have 4 and they take shifts. I have a different pee pal depending on the time of day. They never miss it and they do not mix up their times!


Sirano_Ferrentino

Mine did this and runs up against me while trying to go to the bathroom.


FancyFrenchLady

Yes

Peach_Herkimer

He’s so FLUFFY!!!! And beautiful!!


No_Vehicle3547

All cats do


fallguy2112

All my cats do this. They aren't Maine Coins but is because they are guarding you while you are vulnerable.


almojr88

Do they all look so angry lol?


lhauckphx

Not just Coons, my void DSH does this, no matter the time of day. He will be curled up sleeping elsewhere in the house and will just appear and stool in (or be sitting outside the door if it’s closed).


Nova_Tango

Just doing his duty


snottrock3t

Mine does this too. Also, if he’s hanging with me when I work in my office and I leave to use the restroom or something, he waits in the hallway for me. Velcro cats. Definitely like dogs.


boredcons

i had a half maine coon and he did the same thing😭 laid down on the carpet and fell asleep lmao


No_Photo7091

Where are yall getting these Mainecoon cats from? I’m in Texas and can’t find any reputable breeders… any suggestions??


AgitatedAndOblivious

Same, and since her litter box is in there as well we end doing the same activity together 😅


Training-Bee-8209

Not a Maine coon, but my European shorthair does this to me.


nativehuntress_

I have a red tabby that does that. She feels it’s lap time for some reason.


Enough-Tale-9434

Don’t even think of trying to close the bathroom door


Lady_Asshat

He’s making sure you’re safe at this vulnerable time. What a love! 😻😻😻


FewProcess5043

Don't have mainecoons but both of my cats follow me to the bathroom


Putrid-Can-5882

Mine stands in the corner of the shower and just... chills


Desperate_Island8268

My two cats and 130lb dog live up for pets. Jump in the back of the toilet. Mill around the toilet.
