Both Lucy and Tiger have a great fondness for running water. They watch the rain fall outside from the window in the living room and they vie for the best seat in the house when the shower is running. Lucy is more fascinated and just a little more brave and tonight it caught up with her. Curiosity didn't kill the cat, but it sure got her sopping wet.
After I tucked JT into bed, I ran a bath for myself. While the tub was filling, I went downstairs for a cup of tea. I returned to the bubble-filled tub, now being supervised by the kittens and JT, the former having determined that there was a danger of overflow. And in that moment when all four of us were in the bathroom, curious Lucy missed her step and fell head first into the tub. Within seconds, she shot back out, now sopping wet and with her dignity rather firmly askew. She flew out of the bathroom, shaking her tail with embarrassment. JT caught up with her and we dried her off as best as we could. Photo evidence was obtained and JT went back to bed, rather thrilled with the whole event.
He will have a terrific story to tell at school tomorrow.
Poor Lucy!
