Cats Strange behavior

I have a 5 yr old healthy female tabby (Happy) who has had a very entertaining but eccentric habit for the last 2 years. When I come into the house from work, or walk towards the bathroom, she chatters, gets very excited, and follows me to the bathroom. If the bathroom isn't my destination, she gets even more excited and tries to force me to take a bathroom break. When I'm in there, she becomes extremely friendly, purrs, and seeks attention(usually she's very shy). Recently she has been waiting for me at the foot of the bed to wake up and go(!) She only does this with me and she is quite indifferent with my fiancee who has also known her all her life. We enjoy her behavior, but we are concerned that she may be agitated in some way. Why do you think this happens? Is it common?

Hi
how starnge and no I don't think it is common. To be honest I don't think I can give you an answer on this one.
All I can say is that I have never come across a cat who hasn't had there own strange little habit and I think that this is just a habit your cat has got into. Why or wwhy it satrted I don't think anyone can say. She must just be extremely happy to see you and assocites the bathroom with a good feeling and you and so that is the place she likes to go with you the most.

chattering is just a sign of excitement so i wouldn't worry about that.

perhaps someone else here will have had asimilar experience they can share with you.

best wishes Kate
