She's a naughty girl, with a bad habit

Our apartment in Queens had a constant drip in the bathtub.  Sadly, it was something that couldn't be fixed unless Smeagol chose to have the pipes replaced entirely.  (And we all know that wasn't happening.)  Kittie seemed to be the only one who didn't mind.  Day after day I'd find her in that tub, eyes closed, her little head directly under the faucet, fur drenched from the drip, drip, drip...

A seemingly harmless pastime, and yet as a mother I disapproved.  The tub was perpetually moldy, and I didn't want her getting sick again.  Furthermore, is there anything more unpleasant than having a wet cat jump onto your lap? 

We had a real problem on our hands.  Kittie was spending far too much time alone in the bathroom, getting golden showers from the faucet.  It was almost...yucky.

I tried to get her to stop, but the problem was more serious than I'd initially suspected.  You see, she was addicted to this drip.  She was jonesing for this drip.  My little baby was a user, a fiend, a junkie.  She needed to stand underneath that drip, to hell with the consequences! 

Of course, she's up to the same antics in our new apartment as well.  Granted, there's no drip, but after Hubby or I take a shower, Kittie always makes a mad dash for the bathtub so she can saturate herself.  And she's only getting worse.  She demands to be with me at all times, especially when I enter the bathroom.  A few days ago I was rinsing out my conditioner when I opened my eyes to see Kittie beneath me, in the shower!   

It's no use trying to lock her out.  The few times I've had the willpower to actually experiment with this, Kittie only meowed and scratched persistently at the door, which I found to be more than a little frightening.

What can I say?  The girl needs treatment.

Mr. G is a triple threat....singing, dancing, and acting is his life.

On a different note, having a cat take a shower with you is more than just weird.

At least you don't wake up @ 4:30 every morning nose to nose with her.

Puss likes to sit on my chest and stare at me until I wake up.....creepy.....but of course I secretly love it.

OMG...my cat does that too, she loves to jump into the shower after we get out, she even meows very loudly when I am taking too much time in the tub to dry off...she even jumps up on the sink after we wash our hands and drinks the left over water...gross I know.
Weinerdog, My cat sleep on my chest as well all night long....creepy, but I secretly love it as well!!!

I love this blog!!!

Is that video from a tv show??? If so, I'm it's newest fan. I'm also secretly excited about Fox's new show "Glee"
Oh, the cat thing is highly disturbing, but I do not own a cat so that's probably why it freaks me out. If Kittie were ever in the bathroom with me she would probably attack me like "Mother" in Pyscho. She's not a big fan of me. :)

There must be something about cats and water... It's like heroine to them! Oh, and Kittie lays on my chest too! And of course I think it's sweet. But not if I was sleeping, I think.

Amy, that's a clip from "Summer Heights High" - the guy in it, Chris Lilley, is absolutely hilarious. He also starred in the series "The Nominees" - where he dresses up and plays all these different characters competing to win Australian of the year. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Oh, and don't worry about Kittie, some days she doesn't even like Hubby.
