Kiki used to zoom around the room and jump up onto the side and into the bathtub. One day she did that when it had water in it... SPLASH. She was probably wondering why there was water in the bathtub.  SignatureI realize you might mean when you are taking a bath, but that was not Kiki's idea of fun. >I have 3 cats and one of the 3 we call him Fred he loves to jump into my >bath tub can someone tell me why? Because it's fun? SignatureGive a man a fire, he'll be warm for a while. Set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life. >I have 3 cats and one of the 3 we call him Fred he loves to jump into my > bath tub can someone tell me why? If it's long-haired, he may be part Turkish Van. http://www.freedom.co.za/vans/ Or if short-haired, he may be part Bengal http://www.catsinfo.com/bengal.html. Or maybe he's part both :-) > I have 3 cats and one of the 3 we call him Fred he loves to jump into my > bath tub can someone tell me why? Want some fun? One day try to fill the tub with 2 inches of water without Fred knowing. Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the bubbles and I hadn't yet put the cold water in, I was in the other room when it happened. It was horrid, he walked in with steam coming off him, he looked really funny as wet cats do, but I knew it could be dangerous so I had to fill up the sink with tepid (I thought cold might give him a heart attack) water just to cool him down, which he hated. He walked on tiptoe for a few days where his feet were burned, and never sat on the side of the bath again. I also learned not to put the hot water in first any more just in case.

When I used to take baths I always put both cold and hot in at the same time. >>Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the bubbles and >>I hadn't yet put the cold water in, I was in the other room when it [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > thinks of.

This explains the funkyness. ;) > >>Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the bubbles and > >>I hadn't yet put the cold water in, I was in the other room when it [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > This explains the funkyness. ;) You know, I almost added that I have taken showers for years, because I figured somebody would say this! Figures it's you. :) >>>>Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the bubbles and >>>>I hadn't yet put the cold water in, I was in the other room when it [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > showers for years, because I figured somebody > would say this! Figures it's you. :) But of course. Was that "...I haven't taken showers for years..."? :) > >>>>Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the bubbles and > >>>>I hadn't yet put the cold water in, I was in the other room when it [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Was that "...I haven't taken showers for years..."? :) Now, you Canadjuns might be able to get away with that but here in Amurrica they run us out if we get funky enough. Into Canada. :) >>>>>>Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the bubbles > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > Now, you Canadjuns might be able to get away with that but here in > Amurrica they run us out if we get funky enough. Into Canada. :) Hey, want to see funk? Go visit the nearest truckstop and hang around in the driver's lounge for a while. You see, it gets cold up here in the winter time so the pipes coming into the igloo usually freeze up. >>>>>>> Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the >>>>>>> bubbles [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > Hey, want to see funk?

They have enough problems already. >>>>>>>>Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the >>>>>>>>bubbles [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > > How would you know? I used to be one, and no not one of the funky ones. > Stop hitting on truckers. They have enough problems > already. Tell me about it! ;) >>>>>>>>> Otis fell in the bath one night, he was trying to catch the >>>>>>>>> bubbles [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > > Tell me about it! ;) I medically retired after 10 yrs with JB. I stayed out the low rent truck stops which is where you'd find livestock drivers. P.U. My cat does this too but after a shower. He also likes to drink the water after I've got out. I think he likes it because it smells like me and it's a good way to get freshly drawn water. He also drinks the toilet water too but that's a whole other discussion! LOL my daughter just got out of the bath and guess what Fred went and jumped in needless to say it didnt take long for him to get out of the water LOL too funny LOL... > My cat does this too but after a shower.

He also drinks the > toilet water too but that's a whole other discussion! I think they want to get in and get all that cat spit off of them. I don't think cats are scared of water. Some animals love the water many don't. You never see a squirrel doing the backfloat, but you might see a black lab jumping in the creek just for the fun of it. So, I'm thinkning one of two things. They are either helping us not to drown, like a shower maid, someone to say don't fall asleep in there, or Meow meow "be careful". or, they want to get in, but need some coaxing. My cat waits for me to get out of the bathtub, then licks my legs... sh also gets in the tub at night b/cause there is a drip, lol -- graciedv |
