Help! I've Got Huge Bathroom Issues!

Dear Dr Basil

I hope mew're having a pawsome day! I gotta say, I'm feeling pretty frustrated lately. My human parents won't let me in the bathroom when they're doing their business. I mean, seriously, it's just rude! They watch me use my litter box all the time, but I'm not allowed to watch them? Something doesn't smell right here.

I've tried everything to get in there. But nothing seems to work! I even offered to be their personal toilet paper holder, but no dice.

What's a cat gotta do to get some bathroom bonding time around here? Can mew help me out, as I've heard mew're the best Cat Agony Uncle on the interwebs?

Sincerely,

Arthur McTavish aka A Feline Feeling Left Out

This is my Expert Reply

Today I use the colour blue, as this is renowned for its calming and destressing effects, and a most popular colour for bathrooms. Therefore being the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.

Dear Arthur aka A Feline Feeling Left Out,

Oh my whiskers, I hear mew loud and clear! Humans can be so weird sometimes. But don't worry, I've got some purrfect solutions for mew.

First off, try playing a little game of "peek-a-boo" with them. Stick your paw under the door and playfully bat at their feet if they're in reach. And if they do open the door at this point, and mew're feeling extra brave, try jumping on their lap mid-business. It might startle them, but it's sure to get a laugh.

If that doesn't work, try using your feline charm. Give them your best pitiful look and meow until they let mew in. Or, if mew're feeling particularly dramatic, try pawing at the door and meowing loudly until they give in. If that doesn't work, let them have your best caterwauling yowl, they'll soon come running to open the door.

Finally, try bargaining. Offer to be their personal bathroom assistant, but never the toilet roll holder, mew just don't know what may get on your fur! Explain as best mew can that mew'll guard the door from the inside, make sure the toilet paper is well stocked, and even give them a paw to hold if they're feeling scared about being in there on their own. If mew play your cards right they'll never want to use the bathroom without mew again!

If none of the above works, my last-ditch suggestion is mew hang out in the bath in total stealth, obviously without any water, and wait until they come in to use the facilities, and then pop up when they least expect it. Repeat as necessary until your humans realise that there is no privacy when living with cats! MOL

And in the utter worst of worst-case scenarios, if all the above have failed miserably, I can send Parlsey and Fudge around to remove the bathroom door permanently and dispose of it for mew, no door, no purroblemo! 

I hope these tips help mew out, my feline furiend. Just remember, with a little persistence and a lot of catitude, mew can get anything mew want.

Pawsitively yours,

Dr. Basil
