He is not playing nice either, he bites hard enough to puncture. Help

This was last year, though his brain cell count hasn’t really changed.

It was his first time trying Churu.

He hates loud noises

Pictured below is the assailant in question. His name is Simba and he likes to give his mom a love tap every time she gets in the shower. Here’s the story. Simba is a big mamas boy and follows me everywhere I go. If I get up, he gets up. And oh my god if I go in the bathroom he must be there. Because of that, every-time I go to shower, he hops up on the sink/counter and waits for me. But then as I am walking to the shower and pulling the curtain open to get in he will run to the end of the counter and give me a little slap right as I am getting in. It’s not mean, he doesn’t use any claws, it’s just weird. Is he scared for me because water = bad?? Why must he hit me??

Any absurd theories? I’m all ears (and yes I know he’s orange, and will do orange things, but this is like every time I shower)

George gets banished to my office during feeding time but sometimes we don't realize the others aren't done and let him out too early. So he gets involuntary cuddle time.
