A dialogue at 5:30 in the morning

[truepenny]

ME: Underfoot Cat, why are you in the bathtub?
UNDERFOOT CAT: Because.
ME: What are you doing?
U.C.: Stuff.
ME: It looks to me like you're chasing your own tail.
U.C.: . . . Maybe.
ME: You realize this is a misappropriation of the bathtub.
U.C.: I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.
ME: That's you purring.
U.C.: Same difference.
ME: I could turn the water on.
U.C.: You wouldn't.
ME: . . . Maybe.

My Misha-cat used to jump into the bathtub after I was done, as soon as the last of the water had drained out of it, and chase her tail ecstatically. I figured she liked the residual moisty steam-heat effect.
