Why does my Maine Coon sit by the bathroom door?

Maine Coons are incredibly social and curious by nature, so your cat is likely sitting by the bathroom door because they want to be near you and know what you’re doing. They see you as part of their territory and feel a strong need to keep tabs on their favorite human, even if you’re just taking a shower. It’s a sign of trust and affection, not anxiety-they simply don’t want to miss out on any time with you.

It could be a few things, honestly. Maybe your cat just loves the warmth and humidity that seeps out from under the door after a shower, which is a cozy spot for them to lounge. On the flip side, it might be a territory-checking habit - they’re curious about that closed-off space and want to make sure nothing’s changed inside.
