I know some of you followed another blog I have about myself and know that Milo missed me so much during a 3 day hospital stay I had at the end of the year that he started wanting to be close to me all the times - up to and including having his body against mine at night. Then 4 or 5 weeks ago, I saw the shower door moving while I was in the shower and looked around to see this little 9 pound cat's foot in the door trying to move it with all his might. I opened the door for him and in he came to my great surprise and shock. Evidently, he wants me in his sight AT ALL TIMES including when I am drenching myself in water. It is very difficult to shower with a cat present without getting the cat very very wet. He does leave at the first sign he is not going to be able to stay reasonably dry but he parks just outside the shower and wants the door open enough that he can peer in every now and again. Needless to say, I have no pictures of Milo in the shower during the shower. He now races to the bathroom at any sign I might be going to bathe as he doesn't want to miss it. It has become his favorite thing to do all day and if I am late doing it, he stays awake so he can race to the bathroom if need be. I had company one day and closed the bathroom door before he got in and he sulked all day over missing out. So now, I make sure he is involved no matter what. Some days I run the water about 2 minutes for his benefit only. That way he feels he witnessed the water event and feels okay about going to sleep.
When my cleaning lady comes in every other week, she has to run water in the tub and shower stall in order to wash things down. Milo races to the bathroom to witness this as well. She said the first time it happened, she looked around and there sat Milo in the bathtub and she said she was so shocked, "I baptised myself." I told her he has become obsessed with running water in bathrooms and he will likely be in there every time he hears her running water to clean. How on earth could I not love this creature.
