1. I had cats who did, one of them would just wait for all the water to
drain and then jump in lay in the wet tub.

The others just had to be in the bathroom, if I didn't let them in they would bounce off the door, and make all kinds of noise.

4. All 3 will drink from the tub, one is smart enough
to sit on the toilet and groom while I shower. apparently it's easier to groom pre-moistened fur.

5. No, but they were entranced as I cut bread for stuffing the other night
It was pretty odd.

7. Yes, most of the seven do
The two that are most enthusiastic about it are Plato and Socrates. Especially if bubbles are involved. :D

18. Does this count?
My cat jumps in the shower as soon as I open the doors. Quite unnerving the first time that happened.

10. Binky climbs in with me, if I put a towel on my tummy.
then she dangles her tail in the water.
"welcome to the Island of Mommy." :7

11. Isis loves to "lounge by the pool"
occasionally daintily leaning over for a warm sip. Watching her do that, you can see just how much "wild" yet remains in the house-lion. That she's a Bengal, and in touch with her ocelot past, is obvious.

12. Since mine get weekly baths for skin problems...
there's no way they're going to WILLINGLY hang out in the bathroom when the tub is filled with water. :yoiks:

13. my boyfriend's cat sits between the shower curtains while he is showering
on time Tom slipped and fell, hard, right onto the cat - cat weighs 26 pounds so was able to absorb the fall without injury - Tom thinks he could have really done some damage to himself if the cat wasn't there. :D

19. Cider...
Jumps on the side of the bathtub and walks on my leg to drink the bath water. Just me, though.

Freak.

20. Just once. After hours of wretching it ran away from home.
We found out later that the cat had thrown itself in front of an 18 wheeler.

Since then I have always locked the bathroom door when showering.
