that sounds like my house; we have a 200lb akita, a barely 20lb white american eskimo, a 25 to 30lb calico cat and i black tom cat and yes, his favorite thing is to tom cat around. My little dog sleeps either by my bed or under the edge of my bed and no matter how many times my feet hit the floor each night she's right behind me; she doesn't follow me to the bathroom; she heads for the front door (even if she just came in) then when I go to the bathroom she comes in and jumps on me for me to pet her as soon as I pick up the TP she leaves; I guess she knows her time is up. Before that she knows she has a captive audience.
