Perhaps the cat thinks you taste better freshly cleaned?

 

My cats have done the same, I've always assumed it was part of a re-marking process. After all you washed away all the scent they deposited on you since your last shower, they need to re-claim you :lol:

 

My girls fight over who gets to love on mom first. Beans usually wins and Molly pouts.

 

Tinkerbell licks and sniffs my leg, and sometimes it turns into biting.

What type of body wash do you use? When I put on my peppermint foot lotion, she'll try to burrow into my socks to get to it. Perhaps it's the scent?

 

Yoshi used to do that to me, although it seems to have been a passing phase. He would get all agitated when I was in the shower, I think just because it was a place he couldn't go (he still acts like that around closed doors). When I got out, he would get really excited and rub up against my legs, and sometimes it would descend into biting.

 

I wonder if any of that excitement had anything to do with them seeing you in there and knowing you were being soaked with running water, which to them is a horrible thing to be avoided at all costs. Maybe it confuses them and freaks them out.

When I would take a shower, my first cat, Onyx, used to wrap her paws around my ankle and hold on for dear life...sometime sinking her teeth into my foot. I always thought she was saying 'nnnoooooo, nnnooooooo, don't gggooooooo....water is bad, very, very, very bad.....nnnoooooo"

 

Callie used to do a funky similar thing...everytime I came home from the hairdresser, she would get behind me on the back of the couch and rub her face on my head and bite it.
