That's so cute.

My cats Pearl and Sunny love to play in water but I don't think that they'd like to be in a tub with that much water.LOL

Lulu wouldn't dare to enter a tub full of water either. The maximum she would dip her pawsies in is a pale of water.......but not fully wet!

Once I tried to wash her and it was the first and last time........what a hassle her body was all stiff and the sound of meio's where horrible!

Thats cute!

I had a cat previously that loved to play in the water...we had to lock him out of the bathroom if you need to take a shower or a bath! LoL

RIP CHASE!

What a silly kitty kat! My Boo Bear is sitting on my lap right now as I type and he watched the video w/me. He's a blackie, too, and when the video was over, he looked up at me as if to say "You're not thinkin' what I think you're thinkin', are ya, Mom?" Years ago, he used to like to sit on the edge of the tub while I was taking a bath and he'd slowly swish his tail in the water back and forth. He doesn't do that any more, though. Thanx for sharing that and bringing back some sweet memories.

I too have a black cat who is fascinated with water. Not quite to that extent, but he comes running when he hears the water running: sink, tub, toilet, washing machine--no matter what. He acts like he's in crisis if he can't watch it fill up.

Also, we can't keep a proper dish of water down for any of our animals without him either knocking it over to "skate" in the water, or splash his paw around in there like crazy. We keep a rubber floor mat under our Drinkwell.

I have a theory about these water loving cats: 1) Most of them are black, though I heard that some orange Tabbies like water, too; 2) because they are black, they are warm natured and the water helps keep them cool; 3) it may be a characteristic of their breed.

There is an American short hair breed, ironically called the Bombay. To read more, go to this link: http://www.fanciers.com/breed-faqs/bombay-faq.html. I think we accidentally got one as a rescue: he's 14 lbs., laid back, muscular, long body, glossy black coat, yellow eyes, talkative and loving. He likes to be alpha over the entire household, enjoys tussling with our dog, and has a fatherly affection toward our smaller female cat. Tends to be a watch cat--will draw our attention to things in the home that are out of place, even if he's the one that made them that way.
