My cat doesn't act like a real cat...

I have to start by saying that your kitty is so adorable. I love her markings. I have a couple of cats (out of 12!) that want nothing to do with catnip. They just turn up their noses and give me that standoffish cat look. One of my cats will actually get in the shower with me. It's a little unnerving first thing in the morning to turn around in the shower and have a black and white furball enjoying the warm water with you! LOL. She just loves it. As for weird cat toys, one of my cats loves the stick part of q-tips. She will bat it all over the house for hours on end. If I had a video camera, I would definitely tape her. It's hilarious to watch.

I forget the name but there is a breed of cat that likes water. I saw a special about it. That being said though there are some cats that do not like cat nip. Some might like it at first but the won't tuch it if it's there all the time (I think they remember the hangover :)) while others will never touch it and then you have some that play with it all the time. My brother's cat doesn't like tuna. She doesn't like any human food. Just shows that cats, like humans, can be picky about food. Sounds though she will be interesting to have around if nothing else :)

Her behavior is weird, but kittens aren't affected by catnip. She might grow to like it when she is an adult.

I actually know the answer to the catnip part. Many cats don't respond to catnip until they are about a year old and my cat hates tuna too. She doesn't even like tuna based cat food. She's a little beefeater. LOL. She likes a little water on her too and then licks it off herself. My cat doesn't drink out of a bowl, but drinks out of the bathtub faucet.

wow.. she does look a little different with the other cats.. where do you get it? it is expensive? erm.. did you train it ? maybe this type of cat has different ability.. haha.. who knows right? i never get a cat before.. so far i only deal with dogs.. and i'm really happy with it.. haha =).. okay.. i think what you do is.. you have to train her to eat tuna.. come on.. cats have to eat fish.. haha.. wish cat doesn't like to eat fish.. that's really not like a cat..don't let your pet step on you.. it's not good.. i have my dogs stepping on me everytime.. and sometimes i just feel like beating him -.-

As for liking water there are actually 2 reasons for that: The first is a biological reason, there are cats which decent from 2 types of areas. Cold areas, snowy climates or just cold water areas and such. These cats have an adjusted type of fur to keep on temperature more easily, but when you stuff them in water they'll cool down and warm up less easily I believe was how it worked. So these cats simply won't have any benefit from taking a dip. Warm weather cats don't have this problem though, and they actually tend to like a dip every now and then in the wild as well. The second reasoning is that a lot of people simply throw their cats into water or spray it on them, with the story to wash them. But this is like hitting a dog with the paper or any other item, after a while it'll start disliking it and if you continue that'll turn into hatred. Same can be seen in kids which have been beaten as a kid, traumatized for life and certain reflexes of fright or aggression can kick in years after the beating has stopped still. Even when not knowing it, a lot of people do this to their animals anyways. And due to that there's quite a lot of cats which hate water not because they can't stand it, but because they have grown a fear of it.

hehe She's a cutie pie! I am not sure why she doesn't act like a cat. Maybe she thinks she justs a little furry human like most fur babies do. lol

My cat also won't eat anything but his cat food and corn! He does love catnip though...he goes crazy for catnip toys.

Cats are such special individuals and just when you think you have them sussed out, they do something completely off the wall. Moomin will happily eat tuna but refuses all other cat food. She has had a cat nip toy which she played with for about 10 minutes before deciding she preferred chasing an old golf ball and she will sit in the sink when the tap is dripping, just so she can drink from the tap instead of her bowl. Kenya sounds fine hun, just an individual

Wow, the fact that your Kenya loves to shower is definitely not a cat like character. Cats are afraid of water. Your cat is surely weird.

Was she very young when you adopted her? Maybe her mum didn't have time to explain things to her. Or, maybe she knows cats can be contrary, so she is... I knew a cat who liked to sit in the tub after it was drained from a bath.

I don't think that exist a specific behavior for the cats. Each cat is unique . Maybe your cat don't like his toys. Some cats loves taking showers .I think that you don't have to trouble.

I like cat especially persia cat their hair is soft and thick. for your cat that is no like no other cat I think it is usual. may be you must give him again -again so it make habits for him.

Hm. That's pretty odd. She sounds kind of neat though. Whats her name?
