Our cat Suzie loves the bathtub. And she'll happily play with her toys while in there. However, she knows what the faucet is and what evil things come out of it! I only have to reach for the knobs and she's gone!

I think that some cats can surpass the speed of light if they suspect that running water might hit them. One of my dad's cats used to jump into the tub to sleep. I guess it was the coolest place in the house. One day my dad filled the tub in preparation for a bath, which the cat would normally notice and avoid the room until the bathroom was quiet again. Well the phone rang before my dad had a chance to get into the tub, and distracted him. The cat assumed that the bathroom was safe, since no one was actually in the tub. The cat went into the bathroom and leaped into the tub, assuming it was empty. We heard the splash and in that same instant the cat jumped out of his skin, shot through the house and straight to the basement. I never thought they could move that fast! That was ten years ago, and that cat never jumped without looking first again.
