Not exactly the same but my boy and I did showertime together for probably seven or eight months when he was a kitten and the day he grew up broke my heart so much.
Our shower had an outer curtain and a transparent inner curtain and he would stand between them and watch the water come down while I would shower. It was his favorite part of every day, if he was in another room when I turned on the water he would start screaming and absolutely bolt in, like he was upset I had started without him. It was so cute and his enthusiasm was infectious.
After six or seven months he started treating showertime less as recreation and more as an obligation, his enthusiasm was waning and sometimes he’d arrive late and cranky from being woken by the faucet.
And then one day he didn’t come. I knew that day would arrive eventually, but it still hurt a lot at the time. With more time passed though, that half-year+ of showertime being his favorite part of the day are memories I really cherish.
