What have I done to deserve such a loopy pair of lunatic cats?

There I was, happy as you like, lazing in a bubble bath with a good book - when I hear His Royal Feline Lordship (aka Tiger) hurtle in through the cat flap, and up the stairs. He barges into the bathroom, leaps onto the side of the bath......and drops a dead rat on me. He then loses his balance, slips, and proceeds to fall into the bath too.

I don't know who tried to get out of the bath quicker........me, Tiger, or the dead rat. Water sloshed out of the bath, and went all over Robbie, who had come to see what the matter was. He hissed and hit Tiger, who spat, and jumped bath up on the side of the bath, where he promptly slipped, and fell back into the bath that he had just walked on water to get out of.

I have rescued said soggy moggy - he is recovering his composure under my duvet, Robbie meanwhile, can't stop smirking.

Next time... I'm using the shower!
