Smokey tried to join me in MY bath!
I took her wash bucket to the bathroom to change the water, but she heard the water running and followed me. So I gave her the bath on the bath mat, as we've been here before.
I decided to have my bath since I was there anyway. Smokey zonked out on my dirty clothes on the floor. I made the mistake of sitting up and leaning over the edge to speak to her. The next thing I know she has her paws on the edge of the tub looking at the water. Fortunately she has a bit too much ballast to easily jump over the edge. I showed her the water and told her she would not like it. But she still tried to jump in from three different spots. I was just thinking about cat, claws, water and my bits. So I ended my bath early. I really have to fill a shallow pan with water for her next bath to see what her reaction is. Don't tell the other kitties, I'm afraid they'll kick her out of the club. ;-) |

This one is my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci9i8eNr37c A waste of water but that cat would probably like a bath! Jill |

One of my RB cats - I think it was Betsy - had a bit of a bath-related accident. Back in the day, I sometimes relaxed in a bubble bath rather than taking my usual shower, especially if my day had been rather hectic. One evening, along came Betsy and jumped up on the side of the bath and started batting at the bubbles. She slipped. I never saw her move so fast - I think she levitated and barely got her paws wet. I got a real fright, as you would if you were just reaching a point of total relaxation when a large frightened cat almost lands on your middle! -- Cheryl |

Persia (RB 2014) used to walk around the edge of the tub when I was taking a shower. She mostly just yelled at me. "Hey, don't you know you're getting wet?" LOL My cat Buffy shows no interest in water. She does go into the bathroom occasionally when I'm in the shower but she does not jump up or try to join me in the tub or shower. Jill |

Jill That cat is just like Holly(RB). She loved to move her head back-and-forth under running water in the sink. She did like a smaller stream of water than the one shown in the video. MaryL |

I didn't want to spit toothpaste on her head so I bought her a Drinkwell fountain. :) Jill |

Don't tell the other kitties, I'm afraid they'll kick her out of the club. ;-) My first cat Sweep (RB) used to love to play practical jokes on us. Sweep often came into the bathroom and would chirp in greeting. One evening I was relaxing in the bath with a good ghost story book when she leapt up the side of the bath with a very loud meow. I jumped and dropped the book into the bath. I looked at her, she was standing in the middle of the bathroom looking at me with that grin (the one she always did when she'd pulled off a trick). That made me smile. Some cats are real tricksters! I rarely laugh out loud, don't know why I just don't. Sweep hated water but one day, I was in the shower and my husband came into the bathroom and said something that made me go into a big fit of laughing (when I start I can't stop) Sootie not only came into the bathroom to see what was happening, she jumped into the shower with me to rub against my legs. This of course made me laugh more but I had to stop because this little darling was already soaked through. She thought there was something wrong as she hadn't heard me laugh before. Judith Sweep to the rescue! I love it. :) Jill |

Judith Sweep to the rescue! I love it. :) Jill Cali (RB) was the wise cracker of our group. She used to love to play hide and seek. One day we looked for her everywhere. We finally found her peering out from under the dresser through the scallops on the front. First time I've seen a cat laughing at the humans. Another time she went flying up the basement stairs dragging a key on a string that we had been using as a plumb bob. It made a hell of a racket and got us all out of bed. She did not like the humans making noise, but she was so amused with herself. Cali was always trying new things to get me out of bed to feed her breakfast. The usual thing was smacking me in the nose, jumping off the furniture, knocking stuff on the floor, playing with the Venetian blinds and dragging her paws down the mirror. The last one took some creative genius and was most annoying. But one day she could not get me up, so it was time for drastic measures. She got on the boxes I piled up by the window for her to look out and launched herself onto my stomach. Wow, did I sit up in a hurry. I got up after that, I was afraid of what she might try next. :-) |
