D.H. asks, "Dear Miss Kitty,
The shower in the apartment where I live has a very sloooooow drain. I have recently discovered that one of my cats has taken to 'wading' or 'swimming' in the draining shower water that usually comes up to her shoulders. The other cat acts as her 'spotter,' for lack of a better term, and watches intently from the sidelines.
I thought cats hated water! Is she looking for fish? Does she think she's a 'mama grizzly' like on those Alaska infomercials with Tina Fey? Is she training for synchonized swimming for the 'kitty olympics?' How concerned should I be?
D. H."
Hi, D.H.
No, not all cats hate water. For one thing, they drink it. Quite a bit. As do most mammals 'cuz we need it to, um, you know, survive.
There are some dainty cats who don't like to get their paws wet, but if your kitty likes to swim, them swim she shall. I think the other cat is coaching the swimmer cat. I wouldn't worry about it too much, at least not until your one cat develops an eating disorder and the other one starts wearing gray sweatsuits talking about how he could have been a contender back in the day. Then its time to get some help.
Thank you, D.H. for your question! Keep 'em coming, guys! askmisskittyanything@gmail.com
