I once had a kitty that used to join me IN the shower...and with no advance notice! I would be reaching for the shampoo with a face full of water and suddenly grab something so totally NOT a plastic bottle..jump back and there sitting sweetly next to the shampoo is Massive my 22 lb tomcat. Looking at me like 'Hi Mom! Is it time to eat now? Nom nom time?' of course you can't drop kick a 22 lb cat so I would politely ask him to please wait on the toilet seat til I was done and then it would be Nom nom time. He was the only one who would come in the bathroom. One time my sis tossed one of the cats off the back porch into a mud puddle and the cat ran up into the house and straight into the bathtub with a look of 'Hey I am filthy! Make me clean! I will not lick this crap off myself!' So I had to give the kitty a bath, she was so mournful looking. Yes I loved my kitties!!! Ki sounds very much like some of my babies!
