I didn't realize there were greeblings in my bathtub.  These must have been
particularly insidious greeblings because Persia jumped right in and started
chasing them all around and right back down the drain.  Lucky for her, the
tub was not full of water at the time.

I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

Well! An invasion of Bathtub Greeblings would explain the behavior of
Francesca and Nina after my shower, the other morning.  I had left the
shower door open after getting out,  and opened the bathroom door to
admit Cesca at her insistence. (My bathroom is an overgrown phone
booth.) Cesca jumped INTO the still-wet tub and secured the area, and
then proceeded to tell Nina all about how to hunt bathtub greeblings
while I dried off. Nina stood stretched up on her little hindlegs with
her forepaws on the rim of the tub and was staring INTO the tub while
Mama gave her instructions.  To silly old Meowmie though, it looked
like two cats staring at a very ordinary shower stall with the kind of
awe and fascination most people only accord to the Grand Canyon. =o)
But thank you Jill for helping me realize what was REALLY happening.

How cute!  I didn't realize that Nina was already big enough to look
into shower stalls and hunt greeblings.

She's almost three months old now, and is growing at a very fast clip.  I
think she's going to be a large adult cat, and her mama, who's still not a
year old yet, is no slouch, herself.   Also, I don't have a standard sized
tub, so the sides are not  as high.  But Nina is getting one on one
instruction on how to hunt such dangerous creatures as greeblings, paper
scraps, little toy balls with bells in them, and assorted other objects that
can be knocked to the floor by a careless Meowmie or a clever cat.  Nina is
also getting better at jumping UP onto the bed all by herself.

That's hilarious! Well, apparently we have no idea what kind of amazing
things go on in our bathtubs.

How scary!  Lucky you have Persia around to take care of those
greeblings for you.   :-)

She's a mighty huntress, that's for sure :)

You should leave the plug in the bathtub, this is one of the ways
greeblings get in. ;-)
