I had a roommate in college that had a habit of doing pushups naked. Don't ask me why, I've yet to figure it out. But whatever. Well, I found a stray kitten one night while out and about and brought it back to the dorm so I could do something with it the next day. He wasn't in and I fell asleep before he got back. Well, a while later, he was doing his nightly exercises, and I suddenly woke up to a loud yell. I never knew he could jump that high, that fast, as the kitten came bolting out from under the bed to attack the fun looking dangly toy.  I swear I couldn't stop laughing for about 2 hours. I sometimes wonder though, if he now has a life long phobia of cats.
OMG  That's even worse then when I had to ask Mr. Hawt if he could please put away Pepper as she was a bit too nosey for my comfort to look what he was doing when we met last time...
However, my cats are not that keen on water...my boys definitely not!
Now, my girls are a bit different, though not much. Pepper has the habbit at times to put her paw into the water bowl a few times in a row and then lick it from the paw and then put it right back into the bowl....apart from that she isn't keen on water.
Summer I washed once as she reacted badly to flea spray...well, might have been a bit my fault ,don't have a 3yo yet whom I can put all the blame on  - however, when I got her, unfortunately she was straight away very welcomed by my current flea problem my furrys have at the moment and so I used on her the flea spray as well...and soon later she started to foam out of her mouth 
So I read the instructions a bit more closely...yes, she was older then 12 weeks old as she was almost 14 weeks old when I picked her up, however her weight was below the recommended 1.5kg (though, only short of 200g)...however, as it got pretty scary, particular as it was friday night, so no vet really around for the next few days I followed the advice which was written on the package and gave her a soapy bath (this cat must really have hated me for such a start in my household...foaming on the first day after long travel and then on top of it getting bathed) which thankfully made her foamy reaction disappear very fast...and she did not react negatively at all to having a bath...I mean...she did not say "oh yeah great, lets give me a bath" but my othe cats would certainly have rebellt where she did not...but maybe she was just shy or unwell from that flea spray that she tolerated it...well, will test it in the next days
So by now I swear even more to frontline as before as that experience with her was just a nightmare with that over the counter flea spray

I used last time a very tiny dose of hand soap...and thankfully she survived 
But I can tell you that situation did freak me out big time
