Depends on the cat -- mine likes to follow me down to the basement and go when I'm in the middle of cleaning the litterbox.

- ianai 6y agoI wonder whether that’s a neurotic thing about wanting clean litter or an emotional support thing. Your cat might only feel safe enough to go potty with you nearby. Just guessing with little info admittedly.
- smichel17 6y agoI don't know! There are counterexamples to both hypotheses: She'll often go before I actually start cleaning, so if it's clean litter, she's not very good at recognizing it; and similarly, while she likes to poop in my face, it's not the only time she uses the box, so I can't say she feels uncomfortable without me, either. I'd be more inclined to say the latter (or some variant), since she also likes to come visit me + keep watch while I use the bathroom, if I don't latch the door shut.
