Cats and Water-Likes/Dislikes

So we have this one cat Chunk, who seems to have a fascination with water. When we first bought him he had a respiratory infection and so our vet recommended we keep him in the bathroom when we took a shower or a bath. Well that was interesting he would sit on the edge and would dunk his paws in and then lick them clean. Well he would jump down and run to the door to make sure the other cat wasn’t there and then run back. Well when you don’t have claws and your paws are wet you don’t have as much traction to which he found out as he slipped and joined me in the tub. Let me tell you he jumped out of the tub just as quick and ran out of that room!
Well after that you would think he would have learned his lesson but oh no its happened a few times since. In fact today I was taking a bubble bath and he was sitting on the edge like is his usual routine and he didn’t realize his tail was hanging in the tub. Well he jumped down and all of a sudden realized there was something heavy on the end of his tail (a wet tail) and he started chasing it in circles! You would think that would be enough, oh not our cat! Then he realized my toes were sticking out of the bubbles so he jumped to attack not realizing he would go into the water. Well he got his front legs all wet! Silly cat he still couldn’t figure out how it had happened!
