The Cat, The Tub and The Effects of Water



I was going to write about going camping but we had to interrupt that post for the latest and greatest in kitty adventures. Just to give you the story behind the story, we've been renovating Nanna's bathroom and we put in a new jet tub for her but it isn't working right. We think and the company we bought the tub thinks there is something wrong with the sensor. However, before we could come to this conclusion we had to jump through hoops to try to figure out why the tub wasn't working. So we put water in the tub right up over the jets and left it there as we tinkered trying to get the tub working. Cause you have to have water in the tub in order for the jets to work right....

We not only left it there, we forgot about it last night and left it in over night as well, generally this is not a big deal but at 7:00 a.m. this morning we could hear this pittiful sound coming from somewhere in the house it sounded like a cross between a sad wail and child in tears.

Me to Trucker Hubby (who just happened to be home last night): Shhhh do you hear that?
Trucker Hubby: Hear what?
Me: Wait, I heard something I know it
Insert Unknown odd sound hear
Trucker Hubby: Shhhh.... What the h*** is that?
Me: Maybe one of the kids
Trucker Hubby: Nah

So we went looking for the source of the noise and found the cat wading (as close as a cat can get on tiptoes) in the water in Nanna's tub not exactly howling and not exactly meowing. Not even trying to get out but looking extremely sad and agitated just moving back and forth and back and forth. We have to assume that he was trying to get to the water when he fell in as you can see in the kitty pictures he does love to try to get to water no matter whether it's in a bucket the toilet, a glass or the sink. Getting him out was a joy and you know the most sad thing about all this is I didn't have my camera handy.

I'm going to start sleeping with my camera the photo ops I miss because I don't are just to good to be true. Stay tuned for Let's go camping
