My Kane seems to be.. clingy. I've had quite a few females and know how they love to explore and be nosy all over. Most my other females have been more like 'kiss and run, busy busy'.
I spent like 1/2 an hour modifying empty wrapping paper tubes into all sorts of neat things for her to play with.
I put her down on my bed and she just sat where I placed her. She wasn't petrified, she "washed up" and everything. She eventually went into one of the tubes and sat there for forever. I was also trying to get a photo shoot with my new camera. >_<
As soon as I got real close to her, she leaped onto my ankle and climbed all the way up to my shoulder. When I put her down again, she just paced the edge of the bed near me lol. I laid down with her and she sat on my bent knee for a long time.
She has always been very prone to sitting still for long hours.. she loves to just lay on my neck while I watch Tv, since she was a little baby. Sometimes if I'm laying down I can get her to lay on my belly or chest, up against my hand or something, but otherwise, she just has an obsession with my shoulder and neck.
I can not be standing and hold her, she does not like that one bit, she refuses to be cupped against my chest or anything if I'm standing or sitting upright, she HAS to be on my shoulder and I get quite a few scratches from her scrambling in this way.
She has given maybe 2 kisses ever, and she will not take any sort of treats outside her cage. When she lays on me she has 'accidents'. Its not scared accidents, she will just be laying still on me for sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour, and 'alla sudden I am soaked or smell a stink. My fiance does not like to spend much time with her due to this unpredictable habit. I've had rats that would have a look or suddenly sit still when they had to go, but not Kane.. even if she did, I don't really have eyes in the side of my neck. I actually often get some eye and neck strain feelings from trying to talk to and look at her on my shoulder, lol.
Funny thing is, as clingy as she is outside the cage, she often runs or stiffens up when being taken out lol. She will run to the bars and be real nosy and a beggar when I am near, too.
I enjoy her being cuddly a lot, I just feel maybe theres some fine-tuning that could be done for both our benefit, or maybe I'm missing something?
She really is unique, at least =^_^=.

Your girl may just be one of those types that just likes to sit in one spot and chill out. Although with the peeing thing - if you have her on your shoulder maybe just put a few hand towels between you and her to save on the laundry
