We're getting used to having the small human around. He seems quite benign, and doesn't move on his own so it's easy to stay out of reach. He has his own toys, and we usually leave him to play with them although from time to time we manage to get hold of one of them. They don't roll as well as ours, though.
But yesterday something very strange happened.
Usually we're not allowed in the bathroom. I don't know why. There are lovely toys there; my sister is particularly keen on the rolls of tissue paper just waiting to be shredded. However the humans don't seem to be very happy when this happens. Every so often they go in there and close the door. I scratch outside but they hardly ever let me in.
But yesterday evening they opened the door, and then turned on the water tap in the enormous bowl that they refer to as a 'bath'. I was rather pleased; I have often had a drink from the smaller bowl in the kitchen (the one they call a 'sink') or the similar sized one in the bathroom. Perhaps, I thought, I was now big enough to have an even bigger bowl to drink from.
But no - they kept removing me. Then they stopped the water, so it wasn't very deep. It would have been quite tricky to balance on the edge and drink without falling in. We didn't know what to make of this... yet it was evidently for us, as they put some brightly coloured toys in the water, and even a yellow thing that looked almost like a bird. Surely they were cat toys! Yet how could we reach them...?
Then something even more unusual happened.
The small human was put into the water! At first he stood up, then he saw the toys and sat down. He even started playing with them. We did not know what to make of this situation. Should we try to rescue him? Or should we join him? In the end we just watched:

The normal-sized humans splashed water over him, and he didn't like that at all. He can make quite a bit of noise when he wants to, so we went away after that.
I think this finally confirms that humans are totally crazy.
