Hehehe, my uncle has this ginger cat that showed up a few years ago.
My uncle is allergic to a lot of things, including cats and has bad
asthma.

He didn't want this cat to keep hanging around, so one day when the cat
was wandering around the back door, looking for a way to get in, my
uncle took a cup of water and threw it and hit the cat full in the face
with the water, thinking it would scare the cat away.

The cat jumped back, ran a few steps, shook his head vigorously, and
then the little bugger came back for more!!!

He's strictly outdoors, but likes to keep my uncle's yard as his
domain. My uncle has named him Goofball. Once Goofball was sunning
himself while my uncle was watering the yard with a hose.

you see what's coming?

He just aimed a little squirt in Goofballs direction, and got him good,
and it was enough to make Goofball levitate a few feet. and after he
had recovered, go back to sunning himself, but with a sneaky eye on my
uncle.

Silly cat.


LOL!

Whenever i get a chance to relax in a hot bath, it's only a matter of
time before i see the door nudged open and a pair of paws on the edge
of the tub. It's usually Mischief, with a WTH look.

I just took a shower, and as always, Caliban sat just outside the shower curtain and every now and then stuck a paw or his face around the curtain. I think he's trying to protect Meowmie from the evil waddermonsters.

This boy is just fascinated by water. He never tires of watching the toilet flush. He hangs with his paws over the edge of the bowl and tries to catch the water as it's swirling away. I never dare to leave the lid open, because I'm quite sure he would eventually fall in. Here he is at his favourite pastime:

He's even bigger now, so his whole front end hangs into the bowl when he's at his hobby. ;o) I'm a bit worried about how he'll react on the island this summer. I hope he doesn't jump into the sea.
