Okay, so I'm not really going to kill him, but he is getting frustrating!

Oliver was born the first week of September, so he's about just about five months old. He's recently decided he loves water! I tried to use a squirt bottle to keep him from undesirable behaviors but it quickly stopped working. He's taken to dumping the dog water dish so he can play in the puddles on the linoleum. I can't run the sink without him climbing in it to play with the faucet. I can't leave the toilet open or he'll play in the toilet. He has yet to jump in the shower with me but if he is in the bathroom while I'm showering, I can see him debating it...and when I'm done he'll immediately climb in to play in the wet tub. I think the actual noise of the shower bothers him too much to literally jump in while its running.

I've had cats who have enjoyed drinking from the faucet while it was running, but never a cat that loved water to the point he was making a mess and getting in the way.

On the other hand, when he got in the fireplace and came out all black and covered in soot, it made it REALLY easy to give him a bath!
