I had a cat once who was fascinated by water. Anytime we'd flush the toilet, he'd run into the bathroom and watch the water swirl down. Whenever I would take a bath, he'd sit on the edge of the tub and watch the water. I guess he was trying to figure out just why the heck I was in there. On a few occasions, he even was brave enough to dip his paws into the water. I often wondered if he was this way was because he had gotten him so young. His mother died shortly after his birth and so we bottle fed the kittens. Maybe he didn't get the chance to have this fear of water imprinted into his brain. He was quite a cat. Escaped from an open window once (in the heart of the city of Chicago) and one month later at 2 am, he was at our backdoor meowing as loudly as he could--not a scratch on him. And he "talked" to us for the next two hours, nonstop, as if he was telling us all that had happened to him on his adventure. Out of all the cats I've had in my life, he was my favorite.

Kym, when I was about 13 or 14, I used to babysit for my niece. My brother and his wife had the evilest little Siamese I'd ever seen. She scared the crap out of me on more than one occasion. About 10 at night, she'd come into the living room (where I was watching TV) and just glare at me. Not a what are you still doing here glare but a Get the Smurf Out of My House Or I Will Eat You Alive glare. I was raised around animals--cats, dogs, birds, mice, rabbits, even a couple of ducks, so it wasn't like I was not used to animals. But, she was in a whole different ballgame. I do believe that she had the devil in her. Perhaps, at one time in her life, she was thrown into a shower like the cat in this video. I have had many a cat since that time with my brother's cat. Not one of them ever came close to her display of pure evil. But, I do know that some of them held grudges against me for a long, long time.

My cat likes to wait until whoever we have over goes to the bathroom, and then she'll sit outside the door, and hiss at them when they try to leave. (Ask Igg, she did it to her when I was busy in the kitchen one night)
She will hide under the furniture and hiss, spit, and claw at you as you walk by.
She sent one of my friends flailing over the couch and onto the floor once.

Oh, my gosh, Nessa, that's quite a cat. She sounds just lke my brother's cat. I especially like the part where she stands outside the bathroom door and hisses at people when they try to leave. Your friends must really love to come over to your house.Annie, my brother's cat, wouldn't let any of us pick her up, unless we wanted huge long scratches on our arms. But, she was like a little lovable kitten to my brother, his wife, and their daughter, who was a toddler at the time. Like she had a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde personality.
