My cat Cory loves to come in while you’re taking a shower and attack the water. We have one of those removable showerhead-on-a-hose things and it’s turned into a bit of a game. We’ve gone through 3 shower curtain liners in 6 months because he bites holes in them. (I got him as a stray and whoever had him before got his front paws declawed, otherwise the tally would probably be more like 30 shower curtains!)
My cat Sam used to that. I always had clear shower curtains and he’d swat at the water running down the inside. He also liked to fish from my plastic razor when I’d take a bath. It floated, and he’d swipe at it with his paws and try to pick it up.
Tee hee!
So has there ever been a time where the water made it through a hole and hit him? If so, how did that go over?
On a similar note of showers and kittehs, Ariel used to plonk herself in the tub and yowl until someone came to turn on the tap. Then she’d stare quite fiercely at the stream of water and doing a little paw-shake dance whenever a stray drop hit her. 'Twas quite amusing, though she seemed to grow out of this after a year or so (I should mention I got her at the age of three, and her previous owner says she never played this game before either).
Gorgeous, big beefy boy!
We call that move an “icky kicky.”
It got very cold here last night, so we left the faucet in our bathroom sink dripping. The Neville kitties had never shown an interest in the dripping water the few times we’ve done that before (much to my surprise). So I was quite surprised when, as I was going to the bathroom this morning, Luna jumped up on the sink and started lapping up the water from the basin. Very cute, except for one thing- some of the water dripped on her head, and she later shook that off on me. It was hard not to scream and wake Mr. Neville…
My Hanna does that too! She loves when I hold the sprayer up and squirt her through the curtain. She is not declawed and she has punched small holes in the curtain, but generally they don’t allow water to pour out, so I let her do it.
malenka the miraculous will wait for me to move toward the bathroom. she will hop in to the tub, stand up and gesture toward the faucet. that is the “give me water” signal. i’ll quickly turn on and off the water. this puts a wee puddle by the drain. she will lap it up and then gesture for more.
i’ll only turn the water on if she gestures, it has to be both paws. if she only uses one paw, i’ll say “signal” and she will look at me, look at the faucet, sigh, then use both paws.
No, the times he has torn it it has been a small hole and we replaced it the same day (it’s just a cheap $3 liner from the drugstore).
The other day, however, when Dan got done in the shower, Cory jumped into the tub (not unusual, he likes to go in and lick the water) and then laid down. In the wet tub. Weirdo.
Our kitten, Breña, likes to play in the shower too. We have two curtains; an outer pretty one and a cheap inner liner. She gets between the two and plays, running around, attacking the curtain (attacking us through the curtain!) She’ll poke her head around the ends and watch while we shower, and sometimes talk to us. Occasionally she’ll hop into the shower and get a little wet. She doesn’t seem to hate it, but she does hop out immediately.
Once we are done, our shower tends to drip for a few minutes, and she’ll just stand under that and let herself get soaked. We often turn on the sink tap to drip, since Bree, our other cat likes to drink out of it, and Breña will hose her head down with that, too.
She also drinks from her water bowl with one paw often touching the water surface, and will often drag the bowl around, splashing the floor and herself in the process! She purrs like a maniac the whole time.
Weird kitten likes water!
my dear departed murphy used to like the faucent, too, but only the shower one. not the shower itself, just the faucet. 
speck, the ‘hell kitten on wheels,’ has recently discovered The. Shower. Curtain.
i’m a bath kind of girl, to whom a two or three hour soak in the tub is typical (not in suds. i tend toward dry skin, so i use an oatmeal bath powder and large quantities of cocoa butter lotion). hey, no kids, no worries. 
my sister hasn’t had a decent tub soak in 17 years.
this extended stay bores the scubakitties out of their little minds, as they are endlessly concerned with exactly what it is i’m doing with my time when it isn’t being spent adoring them and catering to their every need. turk gets up on the toilet lid and stares. not exactly a death stare or anything, but it gets a little old. this eventually resulted in my drawing the shower curtain for a little privacy.
he’ll bat at the plastic for a while if he thinks it’s worth his time, but eventually he gives up and jumps up on the bathroom counter, where he can observe from afar. no big deal. he’s not the one to worry about…
OTOH, by doing this, he has set the stage for hell kitten, who now thinks, IT’S PLAYTIME!!!
the little dickens has figured out that if she pounces at the nice scritchy-sounding plastic curtain, it’s even money that mom will immediately do one of a number of diferent and intriguing things:
1.jump
2.shriek
3.splash water
4.drop her glasses, newspaper, book and/or magazine in the water
5.spill her glass of wine either into or out of the tub
6.possibly get a tender body-part snagged on a claw through the plastic (much cursing generally follows this scenario)
all of the above has already occurred more than once, and all has proven immensely entertaining to a nine-month old kitten.
stretch the superduper likes to do this as well. it is very odd. i wondered if he has trouble seeing the surface of the water. sometimes if he tries to drink with out patting the surface he will get quite a bit of his face wet. then lots of sneezing.
My cat used to sit on the corner of the bathtub and watch me as I showered, in such a way that if I moved one inch, he’d get the water full blast in the kisser.
I always moved one inch.
