Hey folks---I've got a rather perplexing issue that I've never had with any of my kitties.
My current girl, who is almost 5 months, has developed a strange anxiety reaction when I shower--she cries and really yowls when I'm showering. Last week, she went as far as to try to jump through the shower curtain from my sink...TWICE. She fell both times, the second time taking my towels with her, and that subdued her a bit. I gave her cuddles and kisses and she ran off eager to play. For some reason, she just freaks out lately when I'm showering.
She didn't start this way when she was really little, and she plays in the shower and isn't afraid of it....but she meows rather sharply the second I turn on the spray. I'm a bit baffled! I've taken her into the shower with me (while I'm dressed and no water going) and held her and let her look around---she also does this if I'm washing the dishes or prepping food.
I see the vet this week for her second set of shots so I'll mention this to him, but I'm wondering if she maybe is into a 'clingy' phase? I want to get another kitten, but I need to get her spayed first before I can finance another. Other than that, she's fine! Playful, hyper, mischievous, good appetite---a bit finicky when it comes to wet food, but her second molars are coming in and I know she's not feeling 100%. When I try to look at her teeth, she's very fussy.
Thanks for any ideas or thoughts.
