Yeah, just... do not sink deeper into the bathtub lol...
My soulcat used to demand I sit on the edge of the tub wrapped in a towel after a shower so she could cuddle up in my lap on the towel... I miss her
I live in the countryside and my better 3/4 has always had horses. We've had many cats at the stable and one in particular swam in bowls that the horses drunk from. One horse in particular preferred the water that tasted like cat.
That sweet sweet toxoplasma gondii
Cats do hate water (except when they don't), but they love routine much more than they hate water.
Cat learnt human bath time meant cat sleeping on the shoulder time, cat will sleep on the shoulder every time the human takes a bath, water or not, because that's how reality works now in her world.
my cat learned me gaming = lay right in front of my field of view time. only time he ever does jt too
If you're going to sit and stare at something without doing anything productive you might as well sit and stare at my magnificence.
Now, get to petting.
— Cats
If you introduce your cat to baths while they are young then they can learn to love them. This person’s cat seems to have no problem with water so good on them for accidentally stumbling into it!
I'm just picturing the guy moving wrong and the cat goes in the water and panics, and the claws-out bloodbath that ensues
Wow, a literal bloodbath, AWESOME!
And while we’re at it, would it kill ya to maybe serve a few treats? A little tuna? C’mon pop. Make this a class establishment. A cat has requirements.
Warm.
one of mine does the same, it's adorable how much trust he has in me :-)
i wish i could teach my cats to do this
Haven't experienced the bath thing, but a cat curled up on ones chest is pretty awesome!
it is the high point of most days
If you lay on your back, my boy Copy will plop down on your chest and look you right in the eyes. He’s the sweetest boy.
With his face? My cat's favorite hobby is farting in my face
Anya does this to me at bedtime. She waits for me to get in bed, then jumps up on the bed, walks up the length of my body, sits on my chest, gets right in my face and demands all the scritches. If she feels like we are staying up too late, she gets upset and starts meowing loudly to let me know it's time for the evening scritches.
Is this my pillow guy?
No, he's just a pillow, guy.
I'm not your guy, pal.
I'm not your pal, friend.
I'm not your friend, dude.
I'm not your dude, buddy.
I don't know him, does he look like your pillow guy? I can't afford a pillow guy unfortunately, I just buy my pillows from stores.
