Water-Spilling Observed

In the interests of cathropology, the human fills the old water bowl and places it in the bathtub. Her mutant water-sense activated, Cloud comes running. She jumps into the bathtub, then realizes the human is still there. It's a real cultural/ethical dilemma for a kitten - should she allow a non-cat to witness the special rituals of water-spilling? There is a very long pause... Then, the water-temptation becomes overwhelming. She bites the edge of the bowl and jerks upwards. Water spills! And she races after it all the way to the drain, where she crouches in fascination as it disappears, then looks up in sad disappointment when it's all gone. But wait! There's more where that came from!! So it's back to the bowl for another round. She seems to get about 3 or 4 rounds before the whole thing goes over. (And then she takes her little wet feet and wet tail and walks all over the house...)
