Not all cats like to bathe, but almost every one of them will rush to the bathroom like a bullet if their owner comes in there.

Why is this room so attractive to the pet? There are several reasons that explain this.

The cat may perceive the bathroom as a place to play. The rug, robe, curtains, towels, etc. Perhaps some of this attracts the animal.

Many owners of purring pets know that they can't stand closed doors. For them, it's a kind of challenge.

That's why they immediately start asking to go to the bathroom if they see a closed door behind which a person has disappeared.

It is also known that cats love attention. But only the kind that they ask for themselves. Pets decide for themselves when to start demanding it.

The fourth reason is related to water. Some are thirsty, while others like to watch the drops drip and try to catch them with their paw. It's also a kind of game.

The fifth reason is related to the animal's special affection. Perhaps the pet knows that after all the procedures in the bathroom, the owner will leave it for several hours, so it tries to spend time nearby.
