    MyWay or the highway!

    Hey, all you hep cats out there!

    Because I have perfected my Routine, I've decided it's time for me to go public so that others of you can benefit from my carefully honed skills.

    Here are the steps in the Routine:

    1. First, make sure your human has the right supply item: One large (4-qt, at least) bowl for your water, kept in the bathtub under the water spigot for easy refilling and for ready availability when it's time for the Routine.

    2. Teach your human, when s/he is preparing to take a bath (you can tell when this is about to happen by the sound of the water running), to place the water bowl--filled as close to the brim as possible with fresh water--on the bathroom floor so that it will be within easy view of the soon-to-be-reclining bather.

    3. After your human is well settled into the tub and too relaxed to move, it's time to commence the Routine. First, go to the bathroom and look surprised that the water bowl is on the floor, instead of in the tub.

    4. Approach the water bowl cautiously and slowly. This allows your human time to notice your presence.

    5. Signal your recognition that it is, indeed, your water bowl, by sniffing the water and then drinking from the bowl.

    6. When you've finished drinking, step directly over the bowl so that your front legs are on one side of the bowl and your back legs are on the opposite side, the bowl is under your body. Got it?

    7. Now, carefully lift one back leg (choose the one that has the most of the bathroom on that side) and place it IN the water bowl--all the way to the bottom of the bowl.

    8. Without moving away from the bowl, pull that leg out of the bowl and shake it vigorously. Try to make the water spray as far as you possibly can.

    9. When you've shaken off all the loose water, place that leg back into the bowl, all the way to the bottom again. If you want to admire yourself you may turn your head so that you can see that your leg is all the way into the bowl.

    10. Here's the kicker (teehee): REPEAT STEPS 8 AND 9 NO FEWER THAN EIGHT (8) TIMES! I know this sounds difficult--it's taken me several weeks to develop this persistence, but believe me, it's worth it! Start with one, then gradually work your way up to 8 repetitions. Hang in there! You CAN do it!

    11. When you've completed the Routine, place your water-soaked foot on the floor by the bowl and turn so that you're facing the exit. Then quickly do a big jump over as much of the water on the floor as you can and leave the room, snapping the wet leg in the air as you go.

    12. When you've reached dry floor, you're free to lick that luscious leg--and to observe your human doing her or his own Routine with a mop.

    There you are! DO IT MY WAY!

    Sincerely,
    MyWay

    Sashay's Way.......

    Go to large clean bowl of water on basement floor. Splash water around, lick feet, repeat. Step #2 walk into litterpan of WalMart clumping litter with wet feet...repeat 1st step. Make sure feet are thoroughly cleaned off in water bowl again while other cats sit and watch. Walk through litter again...keep splashing, and walking through litter until thirst has been satisfied, and bowl is full of liquid grey slime. Watch as weary human trudges away to refill bowl with clean water. Chuckle quietly to catself about what a slimy mess is all over the floor too. Start all over again.

    Lovable's way

    1. Make sure your human provides you with an inexpensive plastic water bowl that can be easily moved.

    2. Have the bowl filled with cold filtered water from the refrigerator.

    3.. Enjoy a long drink.

    4. Push bowl around while water splashes out of it.

    5, Enjoy watching mopless human pad up spill with paper towels.

    Thank goodness there is no Tubby's Way or Peanut's Way to report. Peanut does stick her paw first and then lick it, but she doesn't proceed to get water all over the place. Whew!

    Oh wait! Knock on wood!

    hoping

    to hear of other's cat's antics! Mine don't really have anything special that comes to mind right away.... I mean, Shy digs out water till the bowl is across the kitchen floor, but it's somehow not as cute as MyWay and Sashee (sorry Jan- can't spell her name)! Scamp can jump up in the air as high as a foot off the ground in chase of rings I throw for him (you know, those plastic rings off the caps of drink bottles), but that's not really an "antic"...!

    To Stefi N

    Hey, is that Luvable in the photo? If so, she looks MUCH like my shy!! I wonder if white long haired girls like to dig at the water? Does she like to sit in the kitchen sink when your done with the dishes too? and in the shower when it's still wet? Strange gals we have!

    Yes that is Lovable in the picture and he is a BOY. He will usually avoid water and not come near the sink or shower.

    He has an album on Imagestation. Here is a link if you want to see more pictures of him.

    oops!

    Sorry re: gender error! seems I tend to think long hair=girl! Thanks for album- I will check it out soon! Maybe one day jan will come over with her digital so I can get a photo of Shy and you can see how much they look alike! (aside from her black half mustache- I think rest of markings are same!). Ok, I diverse from "antics" here but couldn't resist a brief conversation with steffi and loveable! Sorry everyone!
