My cat is yelling because I faked bathroom time (self.cat)

Every night before bed my cat either waits at the bathroom for me or runs into the bathroom at full speed for before bed bathroom time. If I’m up too late he tries to get me to go to bed to keep his routine.

Today he wasn’t there so I just went without him.

After I came out he sat at the door staring at me meowing. My wife convinced me to give him fake bathroom time, so I went to the bathroom and sat down and pet him for a minute or two then left.

Except when I left he just sat at the door, clearly knowing it wasn’t real bathroom time. He’s being yelling and howling since and refuses to come to bed now that I’ve broken our ritual.

Every morning my cat is waiting for me in the bathroom. He rolls around at my feet, and then guards me from the countertop while I shower.

If I somehow beat him, he screams and hammers on the door to be let in.

Mine does the same. But yells at me if the bathroom window isn't open too, so she can see the birds and morning sun.

When my car was a kitten we had a clear plastic shower curtain, he would sit on the edge of the tub between the curtains staring at me.

Until one day he slipped and fell into the shower with me and never did that again
