Exactly, with the captive audience thing. My cat knows I ain't going anywhere, so she can get all the ear-skritches she wants.
And now, she has her bowl-bed in there...I was sick a few days ago and had a big stainless steel mixing bowl by the potty to puke in while I was on the can if I needed to, and she's adopted that as her bed. I go in to crap, she curls up in the big bowl and rolls around and looks cute...I don't have the heart to take it away from her.
