Cat fediverse, I have a question about litter boxes!

When my cat is using the litter box, I tend to look away from her. My thinking is "When I'm pooping, I wouldn't want some creepy human watching me."

But am I just anthropomorphizing? When I use my toilet at home, my cat does watch me, and if I check my phone while on the toilet she meows for attention. Might she actually
want me to watch her use the litter box?

What do y'all think? Are there any actual scientific studies on this I could read?

"Haha, might as well just say Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."

[Cthulhu shows up.] "You called?"

"Er... no. I was joking."

"Well, you did say the R'lyeh verse. That's how you invoke me."

"I was just kidding, man!"

"I'm not a man. I'm a God!"

"Whatever!"

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know. I was just joking."

"Give me a task."

"Jeez. Alright! Empty the cat litter box."

"What? I could give you anything! Smite your enemies! Provide you with a mate!"

"You heard me!"

" 🤬 "

This #litterbox nonsense came from a "misunderstanding" of a report about schools in Jefferson Country, home of #Columbine #School.

They've been stocking classrooms with small amounts of #cat litter since 2017, as part of "go buckets" that contain #emergency supplies in case #students are locked in a #classroom during a #shooting.

The buckets also have candy for diabetic students, a map of the school, flashlights, wet wipes and first aid items.
