Adventures with Bruce - Playing With Humans

by Ferdinand T Cat

Bruce received his new work PC yesterday. It's a beautiful thing, but for him, setting up a new PC is a lot like moving to a new house-- very, very stressful.

I mention this to explain why a simple incident with Boots the cat has him curled up in a corner giggling uncontrollably and talking about Creatures Who Walk Through Walls.

Here's the thing: Boots finds the whole concept of water coming out of the shower head to be fascinating. Bruce prefers not to have a yowling cat wandering in and out of the shower while he's getting ready for work, so when he takes the shower he closes the bedroom door. Now, it turns out the latch on the door is not aligned properly, so it's fairly easy for a cat to get through it. This happened today, so after a stream of curses Bruce left the shower, wrapped himself in a towel, and went to shut the door to get his privacy back. As far as I can tell, the blood-curdling scream occurred at exactly the moment he discovered the door was already closed. From this evidence he concluded that Boots had walked through a solid door without opening it. I mean, look at it from his point of view: what kind of cat would bother to shut a door?

The answer, of course, is the same sot of deranged feline that likes to sit in a running shower.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

I once had a cat who closed doors. Well, a door. He would open the hall closet door, enter the closet and then pull the door shut behind him. I just always figured he was in touch with Greta Garbo because he hated the shower.
