Fil, my female cat has always liked to get up on the shower door when I'm taking a shower. It's one of her many endearing qualities. I even chose the apartment I'm in now partially because it had a shower door perch for Fil. But lately, she hasn't been satisfied with just hanging out and watching, she feels she needs to get into the cleaning act.

So Fil cantilevers her body out over the shower, latches onto my head with her forepaws and starts licking away. Eventually this is going to get annoying, but right now I find it adorable, especially when I see the look of determination in her eyes to get at my head.

Even better, when I'm getting ready to get out of the shower and put the towel around my neck, Fil jumps down onto my shoulders. This morning she was a little anxious, didn't wait for the towel and slipped off my back when she jumped down. I had to pin her between my back and the wall of the shower to keep her from falling to the basin and the peeling the skin off my back with her sizable talons on the way down. She was wet and freaked out after that little misstep, so who knows if she'll venture back.
