If you ever think you’re going somewhere alone in the house as a cat parent, think again. As independent as they are by nature, even the most solitary kitties want to be in the rooms we are—especially the elusive bathroom!
Cheese Puff may be a strong, confident Black Cat on the outside, but once Mom disappears into the bathroom without him, you can bet he’ll be right by the door the nanosecond she’s finished!

Call him the bathroom butler, the welcoming committee, or just plain curious, but Cheese Puff basically saying “hello” when that door swings open is too relatable. Take a look!
As the “bathroom butler,” the caption notes, “He’s currently taking on more work if anyone needs this service.”
Whenever I go into any room of the house and close the door, it’s mere seconds before I see those little paws swiping through the bottom crack. I don’t know how they know, but they do!

“He said ‘BING BONG,'” one person joked. “He needs a little bow tie,” another wrote. “What a polite young man,” another added, and he definitely is!
Known to many as a Chatty Cathy whose meows are worthy of our praise, Cheese Puff takes the Black Cat theme to another level.
This cutie-pie has a lot to say, and it doesn’t matter if it’s the moment Mom leaves the bathroom or passing by—the funny boy is going to get the attention he wants!
Cats Are Endlessly Fascinated by the Bathroom
Surprisingly, there are a lot of potential reasons cats feel it necessary to join us in the bathroom, and some of them are downright adorable. Being the curious, adventurous pets they are, there’s also an instinctual reason. In the wild, cats stay with their group for safety, especially during vulnerable times like going to the bathroom, and they want to be your watch.
Plus, the bathroom is a place we always disappear to, making it even more mysterious, and it’s full of endless fun with running water! So really, Cheese Puff may be less interested in protecting Mom and more likely wishing he could be a part of whatever cool thing she’s doing without him.
Either way, someone tip this boy!
