I Think Socrates Is Gay

Published on August 2, 2006 By MasonM In Pets & Nature

Ever since we got home Socrates follows me to the bathroom and jumps up on the sink (no mean feat for someone that small) and watches as I pee. I think he must be gay or something.

j/k

It's cute how he follows me around while trying to not look like he's following me around. At this point he doesn't seem to like to be outside of about 10 feet of me. I'm sure as he gets older that'll change.

This world is still pretty new to him. They love that attention.

Maybe he's wondering why you're not using "the box."
Buddy is concerned about the shower - he's sure that's why my fur won't grow - I keep on washing it off.

Wait til he grows up and starts to ignore you! Except for food!hehe.

They don't really ignore you though, they just have other interests!

OK, I just gotta say it:

So you're at home tonight, admitting to being a bit inebriated, alone with your kitty. Given the punny title on your previous article, you're obviously thinking of sex (who isn't at this time of night?).

So....PLEASE stay away from the kitty!

Ha!

End of shocking comment.

Yeah, he does enjoy attention. And he's a very curious little bugger.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll eventually start enjoying his own space. I think because of the fact we spend so much time in the truck he's just used to always being fairly close to me right now. His favorite place to ride now is on my arm rest snuggled between my arm and body. I guess it feels like a safe spot to ride.

Nah! My Male cat barges into the bathroom whenever I go. I think it is just a male thing He is looking for alternate ways to spray the drapes.

could be.

Well, he draws the line at the shower. As soon as I turned on the water he was off like a shot.

It's funny and sweet too how he wants to be near you, actually it's very touching. My little tiger cat was like that, and he even tried to get into the bathtub with me! I stopped my cat from doing that cause I didn't want to have to chase him all over the house to try to towel dry him after he got wet. I knew how wild he might get after discovering the tub wasn't a good place for him to be!

Wait til he jumps on your lap when you're on the throne!

I think the need to be around is a cat thing as mine does the same. She also has a habit of hanging around in the bathroom while I shower and then rubbing up against my legs while I'm still wet. The shower doesn't intimidate her in the slightest and she doesn't seem to mind the water too much.

I would REALLY hate to clean out that cat box!
