How cute!!!! Your story reminds me of a few years ago when our main shower was a tub with a shower curtain. One of our cats is the type that jumps at anything that moves. Well, I was showering one morning and everytime I thumped the shower curtain, Ariel would pounce up from the other side. We did this for several months until....
We were

laying our usual game - I was showering and thumping the shower curtain every minute or so, and she was leaping up on the shower curtain to attack the movement . Well, Ariel was in one of her really wild "cat-on-crack" moods. You know, when a cat acts insane and runs around the house and springs straight up in the air for no apparent reason. Well, Ariel pounced at the shower curtain, but she did it at the edge where the shower head was. Imagine her surprise (and mine) when she missed the shower curtain and slid over and into the tub with the shower running. She looked like a cartoon character in that she couldn't get any traction to get out of the tub. She was "running" as hard as she could, but she remained under the shower spray. I couldn't help her because I was laughing too hard. After she was completely soaked, she finally got enough traction to jump out. I tracked her down by following the wet footprints. When I found her, she looked pounds lighter, and she was licking herself feverishly (that's "drying" in the cat world). She never wanted to play that game again. I wonder why.......
