He trusts our ability to notice and see him a little too much.

Adotei ele faz 3 meses
- Quebrou a TV
- Quebrou 2 abajures
- Quebrou 1 copo de cristal
- Derrubou o lixo 15 vezes (por 15 dias seguidos todo dia ele derrubava o lixo e rasgava o saco)
- Derruba minha garrafa de água diariamente
- Tenta diariamente lamber a minha escova de dente e a do meu marido (e diversas vezes obteve sucesso porque confiei que ele não faria novamente)
- Matou 2 plantas (mordidas) e encheu a casa de terra (cavou)
- Entra DENTRO DO VASO se abrir a porta do banheiro e deixar a tampa aberta (sim, ele faz isso de forma intencional)
- Rasgou o interior do meu sofá quase todo e um pouco do exterior
- Rasgou o exterior da minha poltrona da sala
- Defecou no tapete de casa 2 vezes
- Acende luzes de casa SOZINHO
- Liga a TV sozinho
- Entra dentro do tanque enquanto a maquina de lavar está funcionando (a água da maquina escorre para o tanque) de propósito porque gosta ???
- Pulou no fogão enquanto eu cozinhava e queimou os bigodes (última foto)

Porém ele é lindo e carente e amamos ele muito! O jeito é exorcizar ele pra ver se o safado fica mais calmo 😂 O nome dele é ✨Pimpim✨

I’m curious if anyone else with a shy/timid cat has experienced this.
I got my cat about two years ago, and I knew from the beginning that she was extremely timid. It took a couple of months just for her to really warm up to me and become comfortable with regular petting. Even now, she can still be hesitant about approaching me, although she’s progressively become more affectionate over time.
But there’s one situation that completely confuses me: when I use the bathroom in the morning.
For some reason, the second I’m sitting on the toilet, she turns into a completely different cat. 😂 She’ll run up to me, start purring, circle around my legs, rub all over me, and act like she practically wants to climb into my lap. This is WAY more affectionate than she normally is with me.
What makes it even stranger is that it seems to specifically be when I’m sitting in that position. At other times, she’s still cautious about approaching me or getting that close.
Is there some reason a timid cat might feel safer or more comfortable approaching their owner while they’re sitting on the toilet? Does being seated/less mobile make me seem less intimidating to her? Or has she just decided that bathroom time is our designated bonding session? 😂
I’m not concerned about it—I actually think it’s really cute. I’m just genuinely curious about the psychology behind it and whether anyone else’s shy cat does this.

I love how Willow and Charly always clean themselves up in this shelf 🤣

And I also love how Eomer often just lays/sits on Eowyn no matter if she likes it or not. He wants to be there so it doesn‘t matter if his sister is already there 🤣

This happened some years ago and I decided to show It to the world. Luckily for my group, we had already presented the project by the time this happened.

All answers welcome

I look over and see her doing this.

She’s only a little mad…
