Ally has never been easy to bathe. I've tried bathing her in a shallow tub, the shower, and the sink. Yesterday I gave her and Ollie a shower and I got just an idea of how scared she really is. She urinated on herself when I put her in the shower.
Now, maybe it was just the running water, but I think she's scared witless of baths. As time went on, having Ollie with her, and seeing him not freak out allowed me to get her clean, but at no point in time has she ever been calm about bath time.
Has your cat ever gotten that scared about getting wet? It seems atypical to me - but I don't know enough to really know for sure. I don't expect her to love it, but urinating out of fear doesn't like a normal response to something she should realize is harmless by now.
