Solution: 1 – Strongly suggest to husband it is to look after, entertain the children – two, three and four legged, if he wants (fill in the blank) ever again, 2 – Lock the door, and 3 – Turn on wonderful music as as not to heard husband joining in the chorus of ’Ma’am’.
Sunday Funday!!!! Ok, the Mega-Orb gives so much, I’d like to give back to the Orb, but of course, I can’t do it alone. Since soon we will no longer need a spoiler zone, I think if we had a designated spot each week for folks to share something fun, great news, a funny story, a joke, anything. This is not to prescribe that this is the only place or time to do it, if you have great news or something to share at anytime, by all means DO so!
Just like the spoiler zone, whoever thinks of it first on a Sunday should start it, even if you don’t have something to share!!!
There is anchor-cat Lupin, attempting a cannonball, catabunga dive into the Woman’s bath. He steps to the end of the platform, gathers himself into a ball and Leaps In! SPLASH Now we wait to see what the score the judges give him.
I love how, in panel 2, the bubbles seem to wrap their arms around the woman’s neck…so peaceful and sweet. Yet, by the final panel, her fingernails seem to be evolving into claws of some sort? Yipes may be in order here.
When I babysat my sister’s dog, the little sneak would creep into the bathroom while I showered and steal the bar soap then chew it up. That’s one of the reasons I went to liquid soap.
Poor Georgia! I know the feeling. I have a cat, a dog, and twin 16 year olds that always need the bathroom when I am in there. Even though we have another bathroom on the lower level.
Several of our cats have tried to walk around the rim of our old bathtub (original 1911), which has a circular curve. They usually only try this until they fall in. Fortunately. Their exit closely resembles a Poseidon missile launch, which ends the bath. The bather then has to drain the tub, drain the floor, and staunch his or her bleeding. Cats don’t realize that claws have no purchase in water—until they catch human flesh.
We used to have a tomcat that liked to hop in the shower with us. Jet (AKA “Ratbane”) also liked to go out in the rain, get soaked, come in and get toweled off, go back out in the rain and get soaked again, come back inside and get toweled off again, go back outside…
UPDATE: I saw the hand specialist last week. I will not need any skin grafts. However, I have to exercise my finger so that it will bend normally again.
Our cat fountain is in the bathroom, so we always leave the door slightly open. While we get an occasional visit (8-ball likes it when I pet him with my toes, and likes to sprawl on damp bath mats—eh, cats.) They generally don’t bother us too much. However, they are the only two of all our cats over the years who haven’t.
His Majesty has taken over 2 households now, mine and my parents. My dad has even bought him a pop ’n play. His Majesty has both Danes and my Weim wrapped around his paw. He loves to pull tails and slaps snouts and ears and the boys tolerate it well. Good thing too since he still would fit inside a Dane mouth in one bite.

Bobby Darin didn’t have this problem
Splish, splash I was taking’ a bath
Quietly one Saturday Night!
Bubbles deep, I nearly fell asleep
Feeling that the World was all right!
…….
Well I laid back in the tub
And little did I know
I would be the subject of a Kitty News Show
Well-a splish, splash
And suddenly the bath
Became a meeting of the Gang don’t you know!
…….
Well there was Elvis, Puck, and Agnes,
My Boy and my Girl
All wound up and ready to play, hey, hey!
Well-a splish, splash, who else should jump in the bath,
My very own Lupin leaped in!
