I have learned my lesson. Do not taunt the cat and assume she's afraid of water. Apparently eight hundred or so pounds of cat does rather well in the indoor pool. One hundred fifteen pounds of Forge, however, decidedly less so.

On the bright side, my waterproofing works just fine. And if I swim sidestroke, I can actually get around in the pool reasonably easy. When a playful predatory cat isn't having fun using me as a beach ball. I think I have water behind my eyeballs.

Dr. Bartlet suggested I start swimming, so I'm getting a bathing suit this weekend.

want to join me?

I'll have to make some modifications - I don't get the same "pull" from my prosthetic foot that I do with my natural one, but I'm up for it. If you don't mind me swimming in a shirt, anyway.

by "shirt" you mean "no pants"?

Why Hahkota, I didn't know you thought of me like that! or that you'd broadcast something like that on the journals for everyone!

but I of course say yes.

Nyah. I do have swim trunks, thank you. Ones that Dr. McCoy would envy, even.

All wet now. :D

Catseye had fun. The BigCatShape is very useful for ambushes!

See, now I know that you can go from little-cat to big-cat without hitting the intermediate human stage. It's actually really interesting to watch, which is probably why I forgot to drop you.

Big bug eyes!

Really big bug eyes!

No, that would have been the shifting to human shape part. We really need to get you some better swimming attire if you're going to be jumping in the pool more often.

Catseye had clothing on! The stuff ShinyBitsBoy made for her!

And the waves were fun. Even ShinyBitsBoy has to admit that.

Exactly. But it's not made for swimming, specifically. Humans tend to wear clothes specifically for that purpose, as well as others. Remember how everyone dressed up differently for the dance? Kind of like that. Different clothes have different purposes.

Mrr? But it covered Catseye up just fine...

Pff. Catseye understands - but Catseye still thinks people are weird.

Yes, we're weird. Now get your tail and the rest of you down to the kitchen. Lorna's making cookies.

Mrrr. Catseye cannot eat too many cookies though.

(Will there be only cookies?)

Well, there's those little weird crackers, but I think those are for Kitty. And there's pork chops left over from dinner if you're feeling all carnivore-y after all that shifting.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Catseye is going now! ShinyBitsBoy had better hurry up!

Not just for Kitty, if either of you want to try them.
