I've just had my first experience of a kitten in water - Lily fell down the toilet the other day (I think it's the one and only time I haven't remembered to put the lid down). She only got wet feet and it doesn't seem to have put her off water. All three of them desperately want to 'help' when I do the washing up and I'm having to be really careful about the water temperature.

As others have mentioned, using or cleaning the litter tray is very much a social occasion. They don't have any of the shyness that some cats have about toileting. They're quite happy to use the trays together, while I'm watching, with the lid on or off, while I'm cleaning it out - basically the more company and attention the better!

Washing up is a nightmare in our house, Indiana only has to hear the tap and he is there trying to play with it whilst Moshi wants to drink the water so I have to fend them off and be careful with the tempreture of the water. They like sitting on the edge of the bath when I have a bath and study the water and Moshi sits with just his tail in the water.

They've taken to tilting the fan to point on the floor so they get the cool air. Oh and Sunbathing in front of any window is a must!

Indiana has learnt to remove the plug from the sink too!

Leonidas has been a horrible teenager. His new thing, and yet not so new thing is to break things. He loves the noise that it makes when it shatters..he will try breaking anything. He just takes his paw and pushes it off the counter, despite what it is, in hopes that it will shatter. he chewed off the ends of my blinds, and is more currently ripping up my rug. All while he does this, zombie is busy watching television. CRAZY CATS!

Oh that's so typical of a cat . The cat at my boyfriend's vet clinic will just push off the little medication bottles and tubes full of blood samples, so kind of him... (then they'll find imprints in blood around, or once in ink when he walked in the inkpad !)

Chaos last evening spent a busy 10 minutes washing Onyx on my knees, that was cute .

I like the clean/dirty theme.

On Wednesday we usually work a half day and came home to find that Indy had been sick and had an upsett tummy (my fault as I gave him steak the night before - never again, lesson learnt). The living room stank. His litter box was a mess. The other half picked him up and he honked badly too.

The plumber was due round to fix our central heating. So in a rush to sort it all out the 'other half' put the litter box outside and I took Indy off to the bathroom for a good washing.

This involves attracting him to the bathroom (get the tap running). Put the shower on ready at the right temp. Shut the door. Pick him up hold him in the bath. Then duly shower him. He hates it!

The plumber turned up to a house that honked really badly and a cat screaming blue murder downstairs (it sounded like I was trying to drown him). It was the fastest our heating has ever been fixed.

He made me laugh last night as I phoned my bank up and the fella at the end of the call said 'you better go it sounds like you need to sort your cat out'. Indy was having a talkative session in the spare room next door
