Clearly I need a waterproof camera....
I just took what may have been the first bath I've taken since I got the kittens.
They started investigating with some apprehension, kitten disbelief unmistakable across their faces, with a dash of "what are you, crazy?"
Rudie quickly got up the nerve to sit on the edge, pacing the length of the tub and leaning in to lick my toes. I managed to soak the tip of his tail while he wasn't paying attention.
Rosie started nearly a foot away, sitting up on her hind legs for a better view of the insanity. At one point, she even spent a 30-40 second interval entirely balanced on her hind legs, totally meerkat style, her ass up & off the floor, completely adding to the difficultly of the balance equation. She pulled it off quite well, time will tell if she's in the same league as Smudge on this. She eventually got curious enough to put her front paws on the edge of the tub, at one point peering with Rudie's tail draped around her neck.
Rudie eventually got bored & went way, but Rosie spent much of the rest of the bath just looking, leaning with her front paws holding on to the edge, as if watching for fish that just weren't there.
The cuteness just about killed me. Clearly I need to get some bath toys into the mix next time.
Rosie goes in for spaying on Tuesday. Trying to spend a little extra time nuzzling her before & planning for extra extra nuzzling for after.
