So I go into the bathroom to do my morning duty, and Mencken is crouched on the shelf above the toilet like a panther waiting to pounce upon prey, as usual. I give him his usual morning rub behind the ears and tickle of the ribs. But he is licking his paw. Why? I look at the vanity counter. It’s covered with small pools of water. WTF? Where did all that water come from? The cat water dish (beside the lavatory) is still full, so it didn’t come from the water dish!
Then Menken gets annoyed when I start moving to his underbelly and gets up and jumps off the counter, almost slipping and sliding to a broken leg in the process, and there’s a big *puddle* of water under where he was crouched. I look at my fingers that had started rubbing Mencken’s underbelly. Why are they wet? I look over at the lavatory basin. The faucet goes “plip…. plip…. plip…”. And I realize that Mencken, stupid cat, got into the basin (which is heated from below), curled into a ball, didn’t notice the water (which is also heated to body temperature from below) dripping onto his belly, fell asleep… then woke up with his belly soaked with water as the drip drip drip of water accumulated over the course of an hour or so. Poor baby!

An evil hooman plot, no doubt! Making that hated state of matter the same feels as wonderful heat… That’s how they getcha!

Yep. Cats don’t bother with playing games when it comes to blame. It’s always their human’s fault :).
