The eyes. That’s how you know he’s around. For context, this is what he’ll do if anyone of us goes into the bathroom. He hides around the corner. It’s a game.

I read that cats follow you close to bathroom to protect you, since cats themselves are vulnerable when they take a dump. So they show care for their human this way. Not so much a game as showing care.

He does that too. If he’s just doing the nighttime watch, he’ll sit in the doorway, but if he sits around the corner, that’s him hoping for us to also hide around the corner, and make scurrying noises so he can bat at it!
