My dog only trips when I take a shit. Not my wife. Not my daughter. But when I go, it's Howlin' time™.
I don't even bother closing the bathroom door. One of the cats is gonna have to come check out what's going on.
Had a cat before that did the same thing. Except, it was more of a “you are using the bathroom, so I need to as well. And I want to maintain eye contact the entire time.” (The litter box was in the bathroom)
actually, that's a great argument. They always poo with you watching, they might as well assume that's how things should be. Seems like a learned behavior.
