Is this Normal?

Is this normal? A wet cat?

When we brought Pye home as a kitten, she had ringworm. The vet suggested we keep her in a room by herself so she didn't give our other cat ringworm. Great advice, but there was only one room with doors in the apartment we were living in when we got her. The shower (see above). It was a very large shower room that we called "the font" and she lived in that room for one week. This is where it all began.

Now, every morning, she comes into the shower with me. She walks along the bottom (under the waterfall), behind the curtain looking out, on the seat/bench. She does this so she can drink the water. Yes, we leave out bowls of fresh water for our cats, but that isn't good enough for Pye. It also happens every night when I wash my face. She needs to drink out of the faucet.
You might say, "Why do you let her in the shower with you?" If I don't I hear her scratching at the glass and trying to meow (she doesn't have a very good voice because she has allergies...)
I can't stand the sound of nails on glass....eeeeeekkkkk!

After her shower, she bathes. Then I dry her off because she's usually dripping wet. (see her tail?) She's afraid of the hair dryer, so I use a towel. After she's dry, she lays on or by my shoes. I guess that means that she's showered and all ready to go.

Is this normal?
Anyone know of a good pet shrink?

Wow, I've never heard of a cat that likes water. The cats I have known hate it! At least she is clean right? Then again, I haven't known too many really dirty cats either. She must have her own personality.
