There's a cat in my bathtub
and in my closet. And they aren't my cats. And I'm trying to figure
out how I am going to take a shower again because this lovely cat is firmly esconced in my bathtub. Somehow, and I haven't figured out how yet, I ended up catsitting for someone who is going to be giving these two cats away but can't do it yet because her father just had his leg amputated (they are his cats and he won't be able to care for them when he finally gets home in four to five months after rehab). So, anyhow, I now have these two cats, one in my bathtub - I put some towels in there for her (she seems appreciative as she lays only on the towels) and one who finally claimed a spot in the closet. Both of them have very mixed emotions about seeing me. They growl and hiss even as they rub their heads up against my hand. Those teeth look incredibly sharp when they hiss. Did I mention how sharp those teeth look? I try to go and make sure they see me a little bit every few hours. It takes a lot of bravery to put my hand up there for them to rub against though while they growl and hiss at me. I remember other's hospital stays for cat bites. I just don't EVEN think I want to follow in their footsteps. As for my two - Tony and The Stripey Thing - they seem pretty much unaffected by the fact there are two strangers in the little tiny apartment. They are doing what they want where they want and so on. They are their usual calm kitty selves. I did not expect that out of The Stripey Thing. But then, the interlopers seem to have confined themselves out of his sight, so they aren't in his face either. Drat, I hear my neighbors taking a shower. I wish I could take one. Bridget |

Killer *owns* my tub, especially when the weather is hot. He spreads out in it & lays his head in the waterdish. If I turn the water on, he sits up and watches it slowly move in on him. He'd sit there while it rose around him if I didn't tell him "Scoot"; fortunately, that's one of the words he understands and cooperates with.
