But she tries to jump in the bath with me/onto the side of the bath and its starting to really piss me off. Im thinking the best way to stop her is to, instead of putting my arm up to stop her getting/falling in, just let it happen? Im pretty sure once she did it she wouldnt try it again. But I feel a bit horrible as I know she will hate it, and I doubt bubblebath is very good for her skin :/

I know this is a very odd question, and maybe the best way would be to just shut the door and let her get on with it...or even restrict her to the kitchen when Im in the bath or something, but I dont like locking her in a room. Feels nasty to me :bored:

If the latter.... let her find her own way.... she will either love it or loathe it.... and if she loathes it....be prepared for a few serious scratches if she uses your body as leverage to get out of the bath quickly!!! You have been warned!! :D

Some cats (very few, but some) don't mind baths. She's curious. Long as you don't leave her unattended in case she struggles to get back out of the water, she'll be fine :)

I dont care about her being in the bathroom with me at all, and Im not too bothered about something happening to her if she falls in either to be honest, as she wont drown or anything.. I am slightly concerned about the effects of the bubblebath on her skin though.

I expect scratches if I let it happen, its kinda inevitable.

I guess it could be a good way to find out how shes going to react if we decide to actually bath HER though.

Now that kerry said her cat didnt learn, and everyone mentioning about some cats liking water, Im a bit worried that if I let her come in, she will want to come in with me everytime D:

I have to leave my shower head placed down in the bath with a little trickle constantly flowing - eejit features likes to drink from there rather than her bowl.

She nearly got caught out one night - had a bath run.... muppet features jumps up ready to jump in..... cue one major balacing act from one shocked kitty!!! LOL :joker:

No, Oscar didn't learn. Then again, he's not the brightest :D

He hates water though cos I have a water pistol to squirt him with when he's norty. He never learns from that either but he shifts at the time :joker:
