The situation came to a head about two weeks ago, when I was woke up late and had to hurry and jump into the shower so I could make it to work on time. As soon as I headed towards the bathroom, Nick raced pass me and jumped into the tub. I turned the water on so he could get a quick drink, and once he finished, I expected him to jump out of the tub and return to 'his' room to lick the excess water from his fur, but instead, the little chump began to groom himself right in the middle of my tub!
Me: "Nick, move, I gotta take my shower!"
Nick: (as he grooms himself) "Sure, chill, I'll be out in a minute.
Me: "Okay, you've been warned!"
I reach down and turned on the shower, which released a spray of water all on him! Shocked, he jumps out the tub and looks reproachfully at me as he leaves the bathroom...
Nick: (mumbling under his breath) "No, she didn't!
When I got to work and got settled in, I logged onto Walmart.com and purchased this for my little shower stealer: The Drinkwell Pet Fountain..
It's a great little water fountain, however, my cat is stubborn! We fought for about a two weeks after it arrived and I put it together. He sniffed it and turned up his nose and went to the bathroom and sat in the tub, waiting for me to turn on the water. I refused and when he realized I wasn't backing down, he dug in his heels even harder.
I eventually started closing the bathroom door, and not allowing him to come in at all. I kept it closed all day while I was at work, and of course I was concerned that he wasn't getting enough water, but I was determined to get my bathtub back!
Last Friday, two of my girlfriends stopped by and as we sat and chatted, I told them about my battle with Nick and the fountain. One of my friends happened to look into the kitchen and laughed. She motioned for me to come her, and I stood over and peeped into the kitchen, and low and behold, there was Nick drinking out of his water fountain...I just shook my head!! <
