> My cat (before he moved to New Jersey) used to come into the shower with me. Usually he'd just sit on the tub wall, but sometimes he'd slip in, and he never panicked, just jumped out and sat on the tub wall licking himself dry. I've known other cats to walk into shower stalls during the shower, too. So while an argument can definitely be made they don't like baths, maybe they are like men in that a shower will do them fine.

A few years ago, my mother was watching this episode of Oprah that involved Men Who Sneak Into Your House While You Are In The Shower And Attack You, and I overheard some of it. I had to get cleaned up to go somewhere, though, so I went to take a shower anyway.

So I'm taking my shower, trying NOT to think about what my mother had been watching, when all of a sudden GASP OH NO something brushes against the back of my leg.

I jumped about six feet and turned around only to discover my cat standing there, rubbing my leg and lapping at the water.

I was so annoyed that I turned the spray on him.
