Please don't lick the cat

It is not a very good idea to take a shower with a cat.

I was getting ready this morning and taking a shower in my clawfoot tub. Loki was perched on the toilet and peeking in at the end as the curtain doesn't wrap around. Personally, I think cats think we look stupid naked. He was watching me using two different products on my hair (head fur) and a loofa to scrub with. He only uses his tongue to get cleaned with or maybe someone else's if he's feeling kinky. It was too much excitement for him. He took a flying leap and jumped into the tub with me.

Then he realized he was getting wet. First of all I don't recommend taking a shower with a cat and I certainly don't recommend being nude while you do it. I would recommend something like, say, a kevlar bodysuit. He tried to climb up my leg then realized that was just getting him closer to the source of the water. Then he tried to jump out of the side but hit the curtain and slid down. Finally he figure out *duh* just to leave the way he came. Then he resorted to the tongue method to clean the water off his fur. He was mad at me for the rest of the morning even though I was the one with puncture marks up my legs!

Kung fu was fun last night we basically drilled two techniques: extended backfist and low roundhouse kick. We worked on these interchangeably and tried not to give away which technique we were going for, which is hard to do. Upon observation everyone shifts their weight to the back foot when doing a forward leg kick and lots of people lean their shoulder forward before they do the punch. It was an intense workout and time flew by.

After hearing about the greyhound bus thing this morning I really want to learn some counter knife fighting. I'm considering changing my career from insurance to superhero. Someone needs to make the world a better place to be.

I'm taking suggestions for my Halloween costume: ninja, medieval bar wench or Gabrielle from Xena. Sign my guestbook and vote or suggest a new one.
