I have no advice, but feel our pain. I have a barekitten who is
also a waterbaby, and he dances in water alot too. Unfortunately
he was also born with thumbs and a keen cunning.... despite being
strictly NOT ALLOWED into the bathroom or kitchen with
supervision, he is often found in either of those rooms, with the
taps running, water all over the floor, and his 'fur' sopping.

When the weather is warm enough, his favourite thing to do is go
outside, play with the hose and pour water from one container to
another. Unfortunately, we're still under water restrictions and
technically running the hose like that is against the law, so we
don't let him do it very often.

I can only pray that yours - like mine - eventually grow out of it.

Yowie,
Rosco makes me think of a Yowlet aged boy with a yellow rain
slicker, yellow hat and boots stomping in a rain puddle. It sounds
like that as well...slosh, slosh, slosh. Hopefully both of our boys
will soon outgrow this love of splashing water.


There is an almost perpetual puddle in our neighbour's driveway. I
call it "The Puddle In Need of a Boy". Cary *always* makes sure he
walks through it whenever he's outside, even if it is going outside
just to get into the car.
We eventually invested in expensive leather boots for winter and
plastic sandels in summer rather than the regular kiddie footwear. I
know there's nothing worse than having to spend all day in soggy
socks, and since there was no way I could keep him out of The Puddle
in Need of a Boy (or indeed any other puddle, small creek or water
source), it just seemed obvious he needed either puddle-proof shoes
or shoes that allowed his feet to dry out quickly.

I didn't have grey hair till I had kids.....

I bet Cary love bath time. :-)


Not a chance. Baths are *evil*. Baths remove all the evidence of his hard
work, and besides, baths involve the spawn of Satan, Evil Incaranate
itself - Shampoo.

The Yowlet has hated baths since he was born.

He gets one only when he needs to be presentable, otherwise I just wipe the
wriggling creature down with wet-wipes. Bathing a cat is easier, trust me on
this one

But he loves swimming - go figure
