Now, here are a couple of contortionist photos of Milo (3rd and last) and even one of him in the tub in the days before his showering obsession began in earnest. The fourth photo is of Bandit (God rest his soul), who was even larger than this at one time and the first picture is one of Grayson in his outdoor days. He could go out until he came home with a screaming bird one day. No more for me. He can look but not touch is all I have to say about that. My neighbor was kind enough to get the bird away from him and once that incident was over, I put the cat in the house and he stays in the house. I think he thought he was bringing me a prize. Silly boy!
Milo's day today has been his usual: eat a little, sleep a lot, get in the shower with mom until the water starts to hit him too much, then out of the shower and look in every now and then. He has become utterly obsessed with being in the shower with me when I first get in. I usually go turn on the water for a minute or two so he can be in there by himself in the beginning. He started to get obsessed with showers after I had been away too many times at the end of the year and he didn't like it. He started following me around like white on rice and even had to sleep with his body against mine. Then one day I saw the shower door moving while I was in the shower. IT WAS MILO pushing the door with all his 9-pound might. I could not believe it but it was true. He wanted in and came in. Ever since, he has joined me in the shower every single day. He hates to be left out of this big event. Even the lady who cleans for me every other week says he gets in the tub and shower when she runs water in them. The first time, she reported that she had "baptized" herself because she was in such shock at seeing a cat in the tub while the water was running. How could you not love this creature who loves me so much and has such endearing little habits. Although....it is difficult to shower and not drench the cat, which I worry about somewhat but am less and less worried. He does know what he is in for after all.
We are having a normal peaceful day and I am not running all over creation for a change. Mondays thru Wednesdays are the most filled up days of my week and Fridays I try to stay home with my two boys. Milo is resting through this day mostly. He is sleeping right where I lay at night and I may want to use that spot in a minute so I may have to move him to Milo's spot on the other side of the bed.
