Can Haz Sink?

Okay, random anecdote. My cat has never been interested in my kitchen sink before. Like, never. She'll hang out on top of the refrigerator whenever she's of a mind to, or perch on the corner table to look out the windows, but that's the extent of her involvement in that room. Until this last week.

Apparently, what goes through my cat's mind after I wrestle her into the sink to bathe her (because I'm sure not taking her flea-infested self into the shower with me, like I normally would to keep her calm while cleaning her) isn't "Oh, that's where I spent those thirty minutes yowling and trying to claw my owner's arm off!"; instead, it's "Dude, this thing makes WATER. Why didn't I know that? And why isn't it making water NAO?"

She's been begging drinks from the bathroom sink ever since I got her, four years ago. Now she has two potential water fountains to make annoyed noises at me from! *eyeroll*

Ahah, she's learned! And there is an attachment to a faucet that dribbles out water when they nudge it; we had one for our dog and rabbit.

Hee. Pheobe has decided that 3AM is the perfect time to go rampaging around the house or that when I'm trying to get that last 15 minutes of sleep before I need to get up to chase her tail with her claws out and hits me in the knee.

Felines are strange creatures.

Hee. My cats Chloe and Annie have figured out that the tub produces dribbles of cool water, and will sit patiently in the tub waiting for me to turn on the faucet. One time I had them and my neighbour's cat all lined up waiting for water, like they were at a public drinking fountain or something. One of those, damn, why don't I have my camera moments.

*smiles* My new youngest, Emily, is in the atatack siblings-attack mommy's feet-attack it if it looks like it might play with me stage of kittenhood. Herself is still scared of water, but is just FASCINATED by the flushing of the toilet - like my other tuxedo cat, Cliffhanger, Em likes to watch the water swirl away, and I hope I don't have to break her of the habit of constantly flushing - like I did for Cliffy at roughly the same age...

It's a good thing they're CUTE, right? ;)

Lol, my current cats head to the bathroom as soon as I do. And there had better be water in the cup on the sink even if I've just refilled the communal house water dish. I also at one time had one of the greatest cats ever. The first time I took a shower after I got her she politely knocked on the shower door and when I opened jumped in and enjoyed a shower with me. I had the lady that I boarded her with that she had never ever seen a cat love water like mine did.
