For those of you who aren't familiar with the activites our cat "Sampson". Several weeks ago I posted a question regarding the unusual way he drinks water . . . . he starts drinking from the water bowl and then slowly he will lift his right front leg up and slowly lower it into the water bowl. Then he follows with his left leg until finally he is standing knee deep in the water, all the while continuing to drink water.
I received a lot replies to my post and enjoyed reading about other member's cats who seem to have a facination with water.
I promised I would let eveyone know if Sampson developed any new behaviors associated with water.
Well, I am here to tell everyone that I believe that we have one of the funniest cats that has ever inhabited the earth. Our little orange tiger tabby with personality plus has developed his attraction for water beyond the limits of any other cat I have seen, heard about, or read about.
Our Sampson, who has definitely shown us that he has a huge facination with water, is now doing something that most of you will not believe. Over the next few days, we will be trying to catch him on camera for all to see and believe.
Our wonderful little (not so little anymore) Sampson has now decided to join either myself or my husband whenever we take a shower. I don't just mean standing on the edge of the tub licking water droplets. We have a combination tub/shower unit with a sliding glass door. When we get in the tub/shower to do our thing and please bear in mind that the water going at full blast, within a few minutes, there is an orange blurry blob pawing at the glass shower door from the other side. When we slide open the glass door, there he is, in all his glory, our little Sampson.
Sampson then hops over the side of the tub and into the shower. There is sort of a bench seat towards the back of the tub and Sampson will settle in right there. Laying right down on the wet tiles with his front feet dangling over the edge of the bench seat. He just lays there watching as we continue on with our showering activities. Sometimes he will jump right down onto the floor of the tub but I am too afraid of tripping over him so I make him get back up on the bench seat. Sampson remains in the shower with us until we are done.
I don't know about any of you, but in my entire 44 years, I have never heard of a cat doing anything like this before. I would love to hear from people as to whether or not our little Sampson is as unique as we think he is.
