Skittin adventures

Sebastian "Skittin" "Velcro Kitty" pulled a new one yesterday. So far, he'd been the only cat to actually climb on me while I was in the tub (several of them have put out tentative paws, as if to see if there's enough of me above water for them to perch on, but he's the only one to actually decide he could fit). So yesterday I'm in the shower, shaving my legs, and suddenly there's Sebastian in the far end of the tub! He stared at me for a minute while I laughed, and then he realized he was getting wet, so he tried to leap BACKWARDS out of the tub. It didn't work, and he sort of twirled around frantically trying to get a grip on the wet bottom of the tub. He figured out pretty quickly that if he slipped between the shower liner and the edge of the tub, he wouldn't get wet, and from there it took him about two seconds to jump out. He spent the rest of my shower on his usual perch, the toilet lid, squeaking at me whenever I peeked out to check on him.
