I have three cats and from the time that I had only one indoor cat this behavior has gone on. Whenever I go to the bathroom, one or more of the cats comes into the bathroom while I am sitting there and leg wraps and wants to be petted. I am not the only person who has cats that do this. Why do they do it, what does it mean? If I close the door, the cry at the door or stick their paws under the door trying to shake it open. I am considered 'The Cat Guru' amongst my friends and I would love to be able to explain this to them as well as understand it myself.
Cats love attention. They know that when you are in the bathroom, you are sitting on toilet, and therefore closer to the ground. Being closer to the ground means that you are more likely to pet them.
I think most cats are smart enough to do this.

The cats obviously love you. So you should make a nice distraction, but not mean, and let them play with eachother. They will learn not to bother you eventually, but be lovable outside the bathroom...
