Because it's making me giggle

Even if our basement being flooded is the cause.

So, we have a nosy kitty. How nosy? He was confused by the water in the basement and (apparently) thought that he could jump over it. And so he jumped _into_ it. With a great big spoosh. Then he looked disgruntled, and went upstairs again.

I was laughing almost too hard to breathe.

I was cleaning his litter box at the time, which is floating just a little (enough to make pulling it to the stairs rather easier than it should have been).

Poor (funny) kitty!
