Things learned this morning:

• Always look in the shower before reaching in and turning the water on.
• Cats seem to run fastest when wet (this deserves further research at some point).
• Pulling a wet cat out from under a piece of furniture will no doubt cause it to make unhappy noises.
• Unhappy noises will attract Genghis, the house's head cat. He will be confused and upset about what is going on.
• A confused upset Genghis will typically result in a bitten arm and several hits to any nearby wet cat.
• Drying a wet, swearing cat with a towel is a great way of getting more unhappy noises (and causing Genghis to hit it again).

As a side effect of this morning, Arwen is looking exceptionally clean and fluffy.
