Cats are perfectly capable of keeping themselves clean, so why the hell do you give your cat baths?
I've had lots of cats over the years, and the only time I've ever bathed one is when it got something really nasty on it's coat (like filthy grease from the underside of a car) that it would have been unhealthy for it to lick off itself.
Unlike dogs, domesticated cats are not pack animals by nature. They're territorial creatures, and whenever you have more than one cat in a household - and especially if they're never allowed to go outside - there is very often conflict. Some cats are capable of getting along with others, but even when two or more cats usually coexist in a space reasonably peacefully, it's normal for occasional spats to happen because being forced to live in each other's territory is not natural for cats.
It sounds like you're forcing your cat to interact with you when she doesn't want that. Maybe that's because she wasn't handled by people from the time she was a kitten, but what you say about her constantly running around suggests that she's feeling trapped and looking for a way out. Basically, cats prefer to be left alone. If you want an animal you can play with, get a dog.
Everything you say leads me to think that your home is a very stressful environment for the cat, and she's just generally very unhappy and constantly agitated. It would be better for you and the cat if you found a new home for her with an owner who has a better understanding of the needs of cats.
Is it normal that i hate my cat?
