Okay, 8 years ago I moved into my house. In those 8 years, I have never had a cat interested in drinking from the tub. None of them. Fast forward to August, I had a new tub (had a whole new bath, matter of fact!) installed.

I now have VERY insistant tub drinkers...Monte, Gus'sers and Ari, alike. I am raced into the bathroom everytime...I can pull back the curtain often and find someone....

Why, why, WHY?

Hmmmmm- something must have been seriously wrong with your old bathtub

Funny enough I got a new bathroom as well. But the kitties prefer the tub in the second, not newly installed bathroom - just as it was before.
Now I am sure this is telling us some deep truth- if I only knew which one

Oh, Barbara~ how funny! There WAS something wrong with my old tub...it was old, stained, scratched, etc. These cats are so weird sometimes.

BTW, Lillycat and I were talking about you a few weeks ago (all good, of course). I had given her some of that vitamin stuff you either sent or brought over, I had found an unopened tube in the cupboard! My cats love it, and some of hers do to.

Didn't you know that was just a brand new giant bowl for them?

My guys don't drink from the tub but Moxie and Decker love to play in the guest tub. It sounds like a bowling alley when they get in there.

Dont know why they decided on the New v/s the Old one.. Now my babies have always loved the bath tub.. Sometimes its a struggle for me to get to use due to kitties are there non stop..

I need to photograph the 10-12 inches of puncture marks on the vinyl shower liner made by Gus'sers...now, if that isn't something to laugh at.

'Cause it's *FRESH*!

Boots, da GOOFIE KAT (RB

) ~ was a Drip Kat from day one!

He tried to time his leap into the tub to be long enough after a shower to
be certain the tub floor way DRY (wet paws were NOT

with Boots);
but before the final DRIPS had dropped from the tub faucet.

And ... he could make a terrible *RACKET* with his raspy tongue *lapping*
across the end of the faucet ...

More than once I climbed out of a
warm, dog-heated bed to chase him out of the tub and close the sliding door.
THEN I got to listen to him trying to pry the sliding door open!

And he had a FRESH cuppa wadder right there on the vanity!

**MISS Ya**, Boots!!

Eddie is a shower guy. He does not like a bathtub...only shower stall. Same in the house we had in Chicago.

He says bathtubs are girlie....

But meowmie, didn't they tell you this is a giant cat-water-bowl???

That's why I put a door in NO PUCTURE MARKS. Most of ours like the tub. It's agreat place to play and maybe get a drink. We do have to be careful as we have a couple that would just as soon shower with you as get out. We also have to watch the top of the bathtub door, you might get a pat on the head once in awhile.
