Default Smokey tried to join me in MY bath!

I took her wash bucket to the bathroom to change the water, but she

bath mat, as we've been here before.

I decided to have my bath since I was there anyway. Smokey zonked out
on my dirty clothes on the floor. I made the mistake of sitting up and
leaning over the edge to speak to her. The next thing I know she has
her paws on the edge of the tub looking at the water. Fortunately she
has a bit too much ballast to easily jump over the edge.

I showed her the water and told her she would not like it. But she
still tried to jump in from three different spots. I was just thinking
about cat, claws, water and my bits. So I ended my bath early.

LOL Yes, that would be a legitimate concern.

I really have to fill a shallow pan with water for her next bath to
see what her reaction is.

Don't tell the other kitties, I'm afraid they'll kick her out of the
club. ;-)

Do let us know if she decides she likes the bath!Â* I'm sure we've all
seen Youtube videos of cats that like to get wet.Â* This one is my
favourite:

A waste of water but that cat would probably like a bath!

That cat is just like Holly(RB). She loved to move her head
back-and-forth under running water in the sink. She did like a smaller
stream of water than the one shown in the video.
