oh that's too cute!

What little characters you have!

I scoot the kitties out of the bathroom, I am just weird about someone watching, animal or whatever.

I did take a relaxing bath for the first time in a long time a couple of nights ago and left the door open (I was home alone). Lily has a habit of jumping into the damp tub after anyone showers. I laid back and the water was pretty high and she stood there like a squirrel just looking, trying to figure out what was going on. She'd walk away and come back and look again.
She is a trip!!

We often have all five cats with us in the bathroom! If either of us are sitting on the toilet - well, that is obviously a lap begging for an occupant and we have several eager applicants. They take turns, sometimes! Whoever isn't on a lap is on the laundry hamper or the side of the bathtub.

Lion insists on watching anyone shower. He thinks it is great fun to stand up against the glass shower door and swat at anything that comes near. He also has to inspect the shower stall afterwards water and all.

The funniest story, though, is the first time my future husband stayed over. I heard this tremendous laugh come from the bathroom and found out later that when he was standing there, taking care of business, Lion and Bear were both rather fascinated by this 'stream of water' and it was only his quick actions that prevented their paws from trying to catch it mid-stream! Hehehe, they are still fascinated but tend to keep a safe distance now (VBG).

Oh, Jerry will not let Tiggy in the bathroom when he goes....Tiggy likes to catch the "you know what" in mid stream while he's going, and more than once, Tiggy's got peed on! I dont mind when he comes in with me. But boy, as soon as I stand up and flush, ZIP, he's right there to watch the water swirl down.....these kits of ours are nuts!

Ack! Poor soggy Tiggy!


Nathan likes to watch the flush too.

Baylee's hopped on my lap a few times while I've been on the toilet. She's not really a lap cat so it's great that she wants to be there, however it's like the worst possible timing! ARG!

Whilst we're on the potty she likes to sit in the bathtub and insists on having the cold tap turned on for her. We've always tried to put her off as much as possible thinking she was a bit strange


If someone's taking a bath and leaves the door open even the tiniest bit, she curls up on the floor next to the tub and goes to sleep.
mav does that too! if she'll miaow until we turn the tap on. i do draw the line at letting her sit on my lap in there though!

once when i was in a real rush to get to work, was mid argument with boyfriend, having a bad hair day etc etc i heard a little miaow from the bathroom. the kitten had fallen down the toilet and couldnt get up! it wasnt that funny coz it could have been dangerous but shes tended to avoid the toilet since (unless theres someone in there of course!)
