> For instance, add a pressure sensor under the bathmat (or seat) in front of the toilet so that the turn-off timer doesn't run while it senses pressure. Alternatively, maybe infrared heat sensor or CO2 sensor to detect presence of living mammals in the room. But both of these approaches can be messed up by your cat/dog spending all day/night laying on the bathroom mat keeping the lights on.
Instead of ripping up your floor or adding weird heat and CO2 sensors, you could just buy a dual-tech (PIR and ultrasound) wall switch occupancy sensor to replace the PIR occ sensor. This problem has been solved already.
