### Protector and Observer In fact, your cat watches you during your bathroom activities to protect you from "monsters," ghosts, or predators. In the animal kingdom, going to the bathroom is a time of increased vulnerability, and your furry friend takes on the role of a protector. ### Mutual Care The cat loves you and safeguards you by monitoring your safety. It is also important for you to care for your pet: he needs your protection and attention while you are at work or engaged in other activities.
