Cat falling in tub with no water freaks out

My first instinct would be to help the little guy but that would be like putting your hand down the garbage disposal.

When a cat loses control it can go absolutely ballistic. Our cats routinely get themselves into some sort of trouble. We have to make sure we don't put plastic grocery bags on the floor because they would occasionally put their head through the bag loop and then freak out when the grocery bag would start following them. They would just start running, crashing into walls, knocking over everything and spreading our groceries all over the house trying to get away from the grocery bag that they were inadvertently pulling behind them.

I think there is a little bit of water on the floor of the tub, like a small pool or something.

The other day my cat walked in to the living room, and my dad said something to the effect of "WHATYOUDOINGCAT!?" quite loudly. The cat ran straight in to a wall, and just sat there dazed for a minute. My dad felt really bad. Cats are insane, and their "runthefuckaway" instinct might be too good.

I don't know about all of you, but I don't want to be here when all these cats figure out the Internet and find out we've been taking pictures and filming them during their most embarrassing and vulnerable moments.

Haha, our cat loves staying in the bath tub. She'd just hop inside and stay there for a long time, watching the tap drip.

My grandparents have an indoor pool in a solarium-looking-thing made out of mason block. They built it back in the '70s, adjacent to the auto shop. They'll leave the doors open in the summer because otherwise it gets up to over 130 degrees. This is by design - the pool is unheated, but has a layer of thick black plastic over it (pretty sure it's just the plastic you use to line rock gardens) that we raise via a block and tackle system.

One time we were rebuilding a transmission and a cat wandered in. We're not quite sure what he saw out there in that expanse of black plastic, but he leaped onto it -

...and landed, completely without expecting it, in the middle of what was essentially a 20' x 50' waterbed.

I really wish I had video of that cat. It probably took him ten minutes to make it back to terra firma. Don't think he ever came back.

Once I was informed that I would have no running water for the day due to maintenance being done. So I filled the bathtub the night prior so there would be water to use. My poor cat had a habit of running and jumping in the tub. I failed to take that into consideration and it was fairly traumatic for him. Now he reacts in a similar fashion as this cat despite the tub being dry.

So I showed this picture to... a female friend of mine.

She said "poor kitty falling in to that water". I mentioned that there is "no water".

She was like, you might not see it but "I guarantee there is water in that tub".

Hahahaha. Now this is what I call an overreaction to a nonexistent threat. This little pussy
cat turns into a cloud of fists & feet cartoonists draw to depict fights. Is always staying dry
the lifelong goal of most housecats?

I love how cats hate being wet but are so curious they can't resist the bathtub :)

Vicinus · 1 year

Can someone actually explain this?
Our cats also feared our bath tube, and i could not see a reason why. The few occasions they met the tube they, as a far as i remember, did not even see it filled with water and yet hated it. They were curious and all but ran away like shit. One of our cats fell into it and was freaking out like the cat in the gif.

firebelly · 1 year

This title was very deceiving.

Zelinn · 1 year

Our cat pees himself when we put him in the bathtub. Sometimes he poops too. He really, really hates water and baths. Water doesn't even have to be running or present, sometime you just can carry him near it and he'll pee. Kind of sucks since every time we take him in the car he does those things too...

There is water in there, you can see the water ripples at the very beginning when he puts his feet in the tub.

queeniemab · 1 year

My cat used to go in the tub ALL THE TIME, coz I never use it anyways and it's always dry.

But my grandma came over for Christmas and would take warm baths before going to bed. She'd forget to drain the water out.

So there he goes and jumps in while I'm blow drying my hair and freaks the hell out, splashing water everywhere. Poor baby, now he's scared whenever I'm carrying him around near the tub. He's traumatized and won't go back in, even if it's dry.

Intel81994 · 1 year

There is a psychological explanation for this. This cat may have been previously exposed to a great amount of water (bath time) involuntarily, causing it to exhibit fear. Now I don't know if cats inherently are predisposed to hate water or what, but either way this fear of the bathtub is a conditioned response: when the cat was exposed to the water in the BATH TUB before and exhibited fear, it saw that the tub and the water always went hand in hand and so associated the bathtub (conditioned stimulus) with the water (unconditioned stimulus) to create a conditioned response of fear in the future with any subsequent interactions with the bathtub. Its brain associates the presence of the bathtub with the presence of a large quantity of water which triggered fear before, so put simply it develops a phobia of the bathtub.

Wow, that is a total freakout by that cat.

My cat's the opposite, after I shower he sits in the bathtub staring at the tub faucet.

He whips his tail with such fury a little clump of hair or flicks off of him and lands on the edge of the tub before he fully descends. /uselessInformation

ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

TrikkyMakk · 1 year

I actually have to close the door to keep my cats out of the tub. For some reason they like the water. And we have a big bowl of water in the kitchen. Maybe they don't like drinking out of the same place as the dogs.

Immediately after getting out, he sat in the middle of the bathroom floor, looked indignant (or stoic) and began to clean his paws, as if saying "It's cool guys, I got this."

Happens every time.

[deleted] · 1 year

Maybe we were wrong all along and cats AREN'T afraid of water - they're afraid of everything that CONTAINS water.

when the cat falls in you will notice a ball of it's hair falls off and the way it lands the first and second time after it is bumped by the cat it is as if the tub is has an electric charge. Maybe i'm just looking too much into it, but opinions?
