This morning when I went to take a shower, I couldn’t get the bathroom door closed. Five black kittens were lying across the doorway, so I left the door open. In this house, the rule is “Do Not Disturb the Cats!”
About mid-way through my shower, I heard a rustling of the shower curtain. Looking down, I noticed a little black face peering up at me. He didn’t seem to mind the shower going full force, and he would occasionally swipe his paws on the shower stall chasing water droplets.
By the time I finished my routine, he had joined me in the shower and was wetter than me! So much for cats not liking water. He looks more oriental, otherwise I would swear he was Turkish Van since they love water.
I still can’t tell five of them apart and there are no hits or interest in adopting them so far. Looks like they will be staying with us. So what do you call a black kitten who isn’t afraid of water? Tugboat? Sprinkler? Fishy?Neptune?
When I was five we had a cat named “Fishface.” I doubt he liked water, the name probably came from his love of tuna…
I have had a lot of black cats, although not at the same time. The names I used: Spade, Ace, Deuce, Trey, Loco, Muggle, Demon… Now that I look at the names, they do seem to be kind of negative, but they were all wonderful cats and I loved them very much. I have no idea how you will ever tell them apart though unless you mark them in some way…

LOL! kitten joining your for a shower is a rather.. rare occurence! and Neptune doesnt sound half bad!
One my black kittens also enjoys water – and it’s not uncommon for him to pop his head into the shower with me. Glad I’m not the only one that has a shower guest!!
And I like the name Neptune 🙂
