There are some cats that like showers. Mine are intrigued by water, but don't want to get a bath. They like to play bathtub stopper hockey. Bathtubs are good for that. Maggie (RB) used to kitty skateboard in the tub.

Mr. Spunky fell in the tub once. It was a deep tub. I also happened to be in the tub at the time. It was hilarious. He kept trying to get across to the non-existent ledge on the other side and this time I didn't stop him.

Fortunately, he has a very thick coat and only his legs got wet. What was so hilarious? Instead of panicking and scratching the daylights out of me, he doggy-paddles and turns and looks at me with a look that said, "Moms, what do I do next?"

I scooped him out of the water and he went and sat in front of the furnace. I was howling by this time.

He was so disgusted with the whole adventure he wouldn't even let Sams help him dry off. I did dry him off and he was still disgusted with me.

Spunky and Sams go to the groomers once or twice per year. They smell better, get their claws trimmed, ears cleaned, and what not. I can bath one of them and then the other disappears for hours and avoids me like the plague when he does come out. It might be two or three days before I can catch the other one. Groomers are far easier.
