My cat has suddenly become obsessed with my bathtub. Whenever I am taking a shower, she stands on the floor with her paws and her head propped on the side of the tub watching. As soon as I am finished and all the water has drained from the tub, she jumps in, lays down and will stay there for hours at a time. When I come home at the end of the day, that's generally where I will find her. She liked the bathtub in my old apartment, but was not nearly as obsessed as she appears to be about this bathtub. The only think I can think of is because this tub is porcelin, she likes the cold feel of it against her furr. But i'm honestly not sure. Any ideas?

One definite thing I've learned about cats in my years w/them is that are cyclical. They'll do a certain behavior every day for months. Then suddenly they stop & never do it again. Later a new habit will develop. Then it will go away. So that may be a large part of it. She may not do this forever. My Daisy's current thing is that, when I sit in certain chairs, she MUST be picked up & held so she can drape across my shoulder. When I sit, she will meow & stand on her back legs & paw at me til I pick her up. Then she settles on my shoulder & purrs. This has been going on for about 2 weeks. Who knows what will be next? LOL
