# AITA for meowing at my cat while he pooped?

This might seem silly but inquiring minds want to know. My cat is now about a year old, fully into his bratty teenager/young adult cat phase. He’s been doing this new thing where whenever I go to take a shit he scream meows at the door and claws it. Sounds like he’s dying out there .I tried leaving the door open once and he just came in and screamed at me closer. Is this a big deal? Not according to my girlfriend, but she’s not the one trying to take a shit with a cat screaming at her.

I had a great idea last night. I sat and waited for my cat to enter the bathroom. When he did I ran into the the room and found him taking a shit. I began to meow at him as loudly as I could to show him how it feels to shit with someone meowing at you. He finished his shit and ran off and he didn’t even look at me. My girlfriend however looked at me while she told me that I was being an asshole and giving my cat “litter box anxiety” which I googled and I didn’t see anything remotely comparable to this situation there. I took a shit today and the cat didn’t meow at me at all so I think he got the message. Girlfriend is still pissed about it since she’s really protective of the cat’s feelings.
