Try approaching her when she is taking a nap, and right there, do one
paw. And quit. Give her some of her favorite treats. Later, during
another nap, do another paw.

The idea is that she is relaxed and tired, and by the time she becomes
fully alert, you can have that paw done, and it was no big deal.
Eventually, it just isn't a big deal.


This is good advice. I would also not take her into the bathroom. She
might not like the confined space.


Our last 3 cats were Burmese and loved the bathroom especially when it
was hot and steamy - our recently deceased Max would some times play
with the water at our feet from the shower - it's a double shower
partially behind a glass screen so he always got quite wet. He also
dabbled his feet in the lap pool sometimes. Some cats just love water.
He enjoyed being brushed and didn't mind having his claws done, just
laid on his back and very docile. Train them to it when they are kittens.

Some cats do love water. Randy was a tuxedo pattern DSH. I had him for
almost 18 years. He absolutely loved water, he'd even step in the shower
with me to try to lap at the dripping faucet.

But then I've always heard that cats enjoy fresh water or found water.

Angie is a bathroom cat. From the minute you go in and plop your butt
down she's right there with you.

That's the **** house cat syndrome.
