When Gimli first joined our family, I thought his insistence on jumping in my lap every time I sat down in the bathroom was odd behavior. After Gimli developed an inexplicable habit of using his litterbox every time I went in the bathroom, I honestly missed the good old days of potty lap cat.

Now, Gimli has decided that his favorite bathroom activity is to stealthily blend into the tile until the moment that I am looking away from the toilet and beginning to sit. At that exact moment, he magically leaps from his hiding spot to standing on the seat just as my bare skin unexpectedly makes contact with an unseen furry creature.

I’m really starting to hate that cat door.
