My Bath is a mess!

Anyone got any idea of how to stop our tom cat, aka the beast of the cotswolds, from leaving his muddy paw prints in out spacious bath!

Please help or we'll have to put him



out at night at this time of year.

Note, I do not have to be out of the bath for him to enjoy it!

  • Hi Freddy.
    Every time my cat is naughty I find a swift blast of a water pistol soon tells him. He is now wise tpo it and once he sees the pistol come out he KNOWS he's been bad and clears off!

    It'd not cruel and a lot of people use this sucessful method of curtailing moggy habits.

    Good luck and peaceful bathing ;D

    Leave your bath filled with cold water when you are not using it.
    Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.

    I put a plastic jug of water on the bathroom floor.

    If it is empty, he hops into the bath. He knows all the options.

    Also, he won't drink out of dishes - only jugs. Have you tried different containers?

    But most of all, he prefers to position himself below the drainpipe and lapt the filthy water from there. Fantastic.
