Human bath time - never a dull moment with my 16 month MC

I used to find taking a bath was a nice peaceful, and fairly uneventful business. Not so now with Kitten on the scene. As he's developed a growing interest in water he likes to be involved in all stages of my bath routine. I've tried locking the door but he cries to come in, and once tried to shoulder the door down. Once I relent he appears over the top of the bath with his paws over the edge, waiting expectantly for me to cup my hand so he can drink the bath water from it. This process is repeated multiple times. Then he likes to do the bathroom circuit; jumps on the lid of the loo, moves to the sink before finally stretching himself out on the bath mat. All the more problematic when I want to come out of the bath, as if I attempt to step on the mat my feet are greeted with furry paws. So I end up avoiding the mat and making the floor wet instead. Once bath time is over, kitten is happy to pursue his own activities, which invariably means chasing his moggie sister. Just wondered if anyone else has a MC who is interested in assisting their owners with their bath routine! Xx.

Just a little word of advise, should kitten progress to sitting on the side of the bath do not wriggle your toes under the water, I did that to Roxy she overbalanced, fell in and I now have some very interesting scars on my shin!!!

My MC is always interested when I take a bath. He is funny though... I think he is interested because he is worried about me! He knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of a bath, and I think he doesn't want me to have to go through that. I cannot seem to convince him that I like the bath!

Any chance of photos please.......!

Only joking,I have only had one who was very interested in coming in to partake at bathtime & yes he did hit the water once after leaning over too far to play with the bubbles so after that he used to sit on the loo lid until one day I noticed he sat there scrutinising me in a very human way so told him to go out I didn't want him looking at me like that & being a gentleman he did & has never come back in,Bruce you are a gentleman in every meaning of the word....
I can remember your "ouches" Helen...x

I am usually accompanied by El Monto when I take my daily shower. First he thoroughly inspects the shower cabin, chattering incessantly. "Yup, that's okay. No frogs or spiders in here. Not in this corner either. You can safely go in there, I checked all four corners and the drain hole too." As soon as I turn on the tap he legs it and sets himself on the loo lid or in the washing basin. When I come out he jumps down for some nice rolling around on the bath mat, so I have to dry myself off while standing on the cold tiles.
It can be a bit of a drag when you're in a hurry, but I wouldn't want it any other way.:winkwink:
