Routine

Our cat, Ra, is a bit obsessive compulsive, and he has several routines that - if he abandons them for a day or more - Kate and I start to worry that maybe something may be wrong with him.

One of these routines is waiting for Kate and I to finish our respective showers each morning so he can jump in the tub and have his own bath.  He'll sit in the tub and patiently wait for droplets from the showerhead and faucet, and will catch them with his paws as they fall, often using them to clean himself.

This is all fine and dandy, but things almost gotten ugly a couple times; when I take a baths instead of showers, he decides that he wants in on that experience, too.  Despite the stereotype, Ra is rather clumsy and doesn't have very good balance.  One of these times he's bound to fall in with me.

What strange things have you caught your pets doing?

Between my posts and yours, our cat is becoming quite the celebrity.

Shoot. Are we becoming "cat ladies?" ;-)

P.S. I took the photo before I even saw your post. This is telling that the answer may very well be "yes."
