Lately my Xena has been extremely interested in the toilet.   Last night I
got up around 1 am or so to use the facilities...and I do this in the dark so
I don't wake myself up too much.  As I sat down there was this warm fur seat
I didn't know was there.  She had been sleeping right next to me and followed
me to the bathroom.  I almost crushed the poor little thing.

How cute to have an escort.  It's a good thing she didn't fall in!

Boyfriend does not trust me to visit the bathroom alone to use the
facilities.  He is ok for me to use the bath or shower but not to use the
toilet all on my own.  He must accompany me always and wind around my legs
for encouragement.
Even if I try and sneak out of bed in the morning for a quick wee, he always
manages to notice even when he's downstairs!
Fortunately he's never perched himself on the toilet seat.
He doesn't trust me to do much on my own at all these days.  I have to be
accompanied down the garden both morning and night to "help" me with the
chickens and at any other time I go into the garden.  This is since he
witnessed me fall off a ladder in the garden last year.
My common sense tells me that this is nothing to do with it.
For whatever reason I am heavily supervised by him.
It amuses and touches me.  What does he think he can do if anything happens?
Do a Lassie?
I know it's his way of trying to show how much I mean to him.  I love him
too.  He has totally changed the way I have always thought cats were like.
Grumpy, and always ready to scratch.  Like KFC and Pooey Pruey, the cat of
my childhood, an ancient intact feral tom.  Touch Pruey anywhere except
touch fingers on the top of this head and your hands were history.
On the other hand he had his soft side.  I was maybe 11 at the time and he
would always wait outside for when I and my mother came home from work and
insisted on me, and no-one else, picking him up and carrying him inside,
otherwise he would not come in.
He stunk as my mother used to say "enough to blind you."  We enquired about
getting him neutered but the vet said he was far too old for it to be a good
idea.
We tried to housetrain him..  That didn't work either.  If we kept him
inside overnight with a tray of soil (earth) cat litter had not been
invented at the time - he would pee or poo in our shoes, or pee on the
chairs.  The last straw was when he pawed the grill off the fridge and
crawled into the wall space to do a big deposit which stunk for weeks and
couldn't be got at.
He was never allowed in the house overnight after that.

LOL!

I wonder if he knows that you're not well right now? I know that dogs can
smell certain kinds of diseases and conditions, such as cancer, impending
heart attacks and seizures. Cats don't have nearly as good a sense of
smell as dogs, but I'm sure it's better than ours. Maybe because you're
having so much trouble with the hernia, and have been so uncomfortable
and in pain lately, you are giving off an odor that humans can't smell,
but perhaps BF can. He's a wonderful boy!

 I sure hope I'm not sick.  Actually I'm going through a bunch of medical
tests right now....I'm 61 and never had any of them done.  In a month or two
I'll find out if this is the case.  I really think it's just a facination
with the toilet.

Are you saying I smell?  Just joking.
Boyfriend is indeed a wonderful boy, and to think I didn't want him and
almost gave him away to the cat's home makes me ashamed now.
If I'd done that, how much I would have missed.  He has crept into my heart.
He is special.

If so, then it's not anything humans can smell. (If it were, then you
would know about it. :))

Unofficial motto: "You'll Never Pee Alone."  ;)
Everybody gets a bathroom escort around here.  ;)   Whenever I go,
there's a little parade. :P
Nobody has got into *that* position, though. ;)

LOL My girlfriend has several cats who have divided up her house
amongst them.  The back bedroom and bath are "owned" by Weebles and
Kinky, who come running for scritches from whatever soul commands the
throne.
