Why does my cat use the litter box when I go to the bathroom?
Cats sometimes mirror their owner's bathroom habits, with some adult cats continuing a learned habit from when they were kittens. This behavior makes owners wonder how their cats recognize what they are doing and why they copy it.

“my cat used to do that too! When he was a baby he had a urinary track infection so I cheered for him when he went to the litter box. As an adult he still came to potty when I was in the bathroom so i would cheer "yay kitten"”source ↗
