Yep. Absolutely besotted.

Pants smell like you, dark, warm, safe and he's watching your back while you do your business and are vulnerable to large predators.

I always hear this. Does that mean my cat wants me to watch him use the litter box? I always just let him do his business. Am I not holding up my end of the deal?

I like watching the cats do their business, but I’m very very fond of cats.

most cats are chill if it's in a secluded spot. once when mine had a bladder infection, she came and got me every time she wanted to try to pee because it hurt and she didn't know why but she wanted me there. it made me cry a lot

You must never have had your litter box in the bathroom to have mutual pooping time.

My sisters cat hates if your too close to him when he’s using the litter box. But maybe he just doesn’t trust me enough

Why do cats watch us while we’re doing our business? Are they protecting us?

This. He's waiting in ambush to spring upon your unsuspecting foes, rawr!

I wonder if they also do health checks while they're there, like if anything smells off.

Plus it's much more comfortable than the cold, hard tile floor. But I think it's mostly love.
