Wet Kitten Alert!
Well, kittens are kittens, you know, which means they are sometimes a
bit lacking in the smarts department. Kate and Jack, in addition to the above, are also fascinated with water. They're in the tub, the sink, back to the tub, back to the sink. They get water all over their little paws and track it everywhere, oblivious to the fact that they are a teeny bit wet. So I decided to take a bath last night, with the kittens roaming around. Of course they were curious, and peered over the side of the tub wondering what the silly human was doing sitting in a big, giant vat of water. You don't have to be psychic to guess what was coming next. Intrepid Jack the Explorer got a wee bit *too* curious, and took a leap into the full tub of water. I'm not sure how he managed to mostly stay above water. I'm beginning to think he can *walk* on water almost! But there he was, standing there for a few seconds, in the bathtub, with a look on his face like "Do I like this? Did I do that? I didn't do that! I don't like this!" Flumpftht. He jumps out of the tub. Being fully wet myself, I yell downstairs to DH: "Wet kitten alert!" He duly comes upstairs with a few paper towels, just enough to get a few drops of water off Jack's belly. I suggest an actual towel might be more helpful, and he wraps Jack up in one like a swaddled baby, and rubs his legs and belly mostly dry before Jack decides he has had enough of this and bolts off, still intrepid, but a bit cleaner. Wonder when Kate will take the plunge?

... wow, was this a really bad story, or what? Zero responses. Did I become invisible suddenly? Knock, knock. Helloooo? Am I here? Ginger-lyn just fooling around That happens with me sometimes too Ginger-lyn. In fact there are times when I post several things and get no responses or maybe only one reply. Of course, egomaniac that I am, I start to think that everybody here hates me and have killfiled me and want me to go away and never post here again. While that may be true of some of the people here, I don't think that this is always the case. I think it's just that sometimes I hit a time period where nobody posts, or somebody else has posted something more important or more urgent to them than my little story (and that's how it should be, of course), or maybe it's just a day or two in a row when everybody is just busy with RL and can't take the time to post a reply. Please know, however, that I read all the posts here and appreciate all the stories even when I don't have time to post a reply. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ Home Pages: http://www.spiritrealm.com/summer/ http://www.angelfire.com/folk/glsummer (homepage & cats) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....mmer/index.htm (genealogy) http://www.movieanimals.bravehost.com/ (The Violence Against Animals in Movies Website) |

What a great story! Soncek being the wise old kitty that he is stays
away from the tub when it is full of water. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek wrote: Well, kittens are kittens, you know, which means they are sometimes a bit lacking in the smarts department.

I read your story, Ginger-lyn! I just have a bad habit of not
commenting on most of the stories I read. I actually have to remind myself to post more replies or else I wouldn't post any. I'm just lazy. But your story was very cute and I liked it :-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album wrote: wow, was this a really bad story, or what?

I want to see pictures of Kate and jack someday. |
