Why does my cat follow me into the bathroom and meow constantly?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 months and 18 days old

Hi I was wondering if you could hopefully help me. My youngest male cat tiger (10months) has a weird obsession for the toilet, he will walk in and meow constantly, and if the door is shut he will meow at the door. He does love coming in with me lol, so could it just be that he is waiting for me or something else? Thanks.

I'm smiling at I answer your question because my cat likes to do the same thing! Tiger wants to know what you are up to, and wants to follow you around. Cats do not like being left out of things, so if you are going into another room, he wants to come as well! It's not uncommon for cat owners, and between my young son and my cat, I never get a moment to myself!
