There was mention about cats and bathtubs in the other email chain. Thought I'd
relay the oddities of our kittens Chloe (female) and Pepper (male).

Both just love to drink from a tap, any tap (bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc.).
Thank goodness we have double sinks. Pepper's favorites is to drink from the
bidet when it's running. They do this all the time, several times a day.

Whenever the washer is filling Pepper has his nose in there checking it out.

There have been occasions when they've gotten themselves locked behind the
shower door - their for ever checking it out.

Last weekend, after our first massage, the wife and I decided to share a tub
(it's an air jet tub). The cats were naturally interested. Pepper was forever
playing with the bubbles. After we got out he jumped in when there was about 2
inches of water left. Didn't phase him at all.

As I said, the tub is an air jet not a jacuzzi. One day when we were getting
ready for bed (the cats are always in the bathroom with us), Chloe accidentally
stepped on the button setting of the jets - no water. Well, we got a classic
Looney Tunes cartoon going on. They couldn't get enough traction to move out of
there fast enough. Pepper would not come back in the bedroom.

The tub has a feature that 15 minutes after it shuts off the jets will go off to
clear themselves of water. So, we had to barricade the doors and take the cats
downstairs to wait until this was done.

We adopted these two in May (from the SPCA) and they have been a constant source
of entertainment and affection ever since. I've been wanting a dog but the way
Chloe and Pepper follow me around, play fetch, etc. there has not been a real
need for it.
