My cat likes to drink from the faucett but I stopped doing that because Im lazy and hate waiting for him to finish so I just give him water in a small glass. Thats a PITA too because he will only drink once from it and then I have to throw the water out and fill it again. He also only drinks from it if I throw in an ice cube, heh. I just took off his flea collar and hes loving it and so am I cause now I can pet him in the places I/He likes most and its not a problem since hes an indoor cat.

That's disgusting....... No, I mean seriously... there is a reason people don't carpet their bathrooms. It is just too damp and moist in there... your carpet is probably harboring God knows what kind of fungi.. and sporulating into your house.

Actually carpet in restrooms isnt all that bad but it certainly should not be around the toilet for when youre dunking gets a little too much game, haha.

Hahahaha! Beats me why they don't rip it out and put tile down. Whatever, I have mats down that should catch most of the moisture. Plus, I live in Denver, this place ain't exactly humid.

Our kittens try to go into the bathroom when I'm taking my shower. Thing is they're always too late (sleeping) and I end up seeing them sticking their paws under the door as I'm getting out. We haven't let them drink from the faucet yet, they're still tiny and we don't want to get them into that habit. Jessica fell halfway into the pool the other day, but caught herself before it was too late. (She was climbing the lift and slipped..)

I really need to snap some pics of them.

I love Denver weather. Driving in the snow isnt all that bad compared to walking in the snow.

I'll try to get some pics of my 4 cats up. One cat is actually the another's grandpa. I've always loved cats, even though some people think dogs are better. <- Boo!

I'll tell you one thing about dogs though......social gold.

I've started tagging along with my friends who have dogs to the park where everyone lets their dogs loose to run and play with each other. It's like a little club or something. People won't have known you for more than 2 minutes but will invite you over for their dog's birthday party.

But there are definitely alot of cute girls who own dogs.

A friend who stayed in my wife and I's extra room in the apartment had a cat. One day we heard this screaming, hard to hear where it was coming from, it sort of sounded like the bathroom, but we assumed it was from downstairs or something. Heard more a minute later and I went to go investigate....I found a an upset wife in the tub, and very wet kitty running away.

It was hilarious.

You're so lucky. The only animal in my bathroom is the occasional gecko or cockroach.
If you keep the gecko you'll have less roaches.

My kitty likes the paper-towels and TP too. One day I came home and I was totally out of TP- all over the house.

One of my cats also likes to chew up certain kinds of cardboard boxes and spit out the pieces.
