I’m so glad to know other cats do that! Bagheera liked to be a little perv and watch me bathe, and he would “investigate” the water sometimes as well. At least once he even decided to “sample” it like Elvis there. And Blossom will jump into the tub after it’s been recently used and lap up the water drops. I do not know what goes on in the minds of our Feline Overlords…
“People Tea” Sounds like a drink from a dystopian novel. Next are we going to hear about Man Stew or Kid Cakes? All these recipes and more in the new edition of “To Serve Man”…..
The Woman better stay alert. Once when I was bathing with a sentinel cat on the tub edge a rival cat ran up out of nowhere and pushed the edge cat into the water. The wet cat flew out and grabbed the attacker before she could get away and gave her a rolling bunnykick all the way down the hall. It looked like a waterspout had come through the house, and I had to mop it up.
For the nearly 17 years Py, The Imperial shared his life with me, I never bathed or showered without a sentinel cat. I think he considered it his Mommie and Me time. I still miss his company, although he could be quite annoying when I showered, because he guarded me from inside, standing under the shower head away from the spray.
My books arrived!!!!!! did the happy dance all day yesterday & I didn’t even get upset at the challenges at work – Georgia, these books have great power!!! You did a GREAT JOB!!!! all of the extras are really great, LOVE them!!! Love the inscription to The Man too, he is pretty special, wish he had an older brother. I requested LLI & the first book at my library & they said they would get them! Meanwhile will be visiting bookstores this weekend to make sure they’re carrying it.
Love when Elvis says M’Lady, so very knight ish. He’s so fearless too, protecting The Woman from riff raff Cat of Adventure reporters who are obviously trying to get a sensational story to sell to the tabloids
Happy Purrsday! Oh, Elvis, please be careful. No matter how much she loves you, the Woman will not be amused if you fall into the tub and use her as a fulcrum to launch yourself at Lupin.
Yum Yum likes to perch, from time to time, on the edge of the tub and watch me bathe. When that happens, I am expected to lift my left knee out of the water so she can lick it off my knee. This goes on for as long as she wishes or until I decide to exit the tub.

My late Mua, oversaw all my baths and meowed loudly if I showered. He loved to dabble in the water too.My late Annie, however, took no notice of the shower or bath.
In our old house the tub was a popular gathering place (like any watering hole)…the polydactyl Evinrude would lounge in the tub after particularly hot showers or baths (1930s pedestal tub, held the heat) in the winter, and found the cool porcelain a treat in the hot summers, while his adopted canine brother Stoli would lay with his little pink tummy against the base of the tub to maximize skin-to-porcelain contact. The bathroom where we live now has a much less exotic tub….but my sweet baboo Linus was a shower licker who did not discriminate!
I have to quibble here: I would argue that it’s really more like broth (although I do know that beef tea used to be a popular thing). Tea suggests a hot beverage made by steeping vegetable matter, not meat.

Elvis, you’re getting really close to the edge of the tub. And if that’s a claw foot style tub, those are notoriously slippery and deep!

Shall we gather at the bathtub?
Where the weary Lady soaks?
As her Warrior protects her?
From those who consider it a joke?
…….
Yes, we’ll gather at the bathtub,
The comfortable, comfortable bathtub,
Escort all the riffraff from the bathroom
And let the Lady soak in peace.
