Apart from a bathtub filled with water, there aren't many places a cat 
can't go if there's a comfy place to sit...

The three rules of feline acquisition:

1. Can I eat it?  It's mine.
2. Can sleep on it?  Mine too.
3. Were you reading that?  Sorry, it's mine now.

Heh, that makes me laugh.  "Big" cats are happy to go for a swim, and 
I've had domesticated cats that were perfectly fine getting into a full 
bathtub.  Even had one who would sit under a running faucet on his own 
(surprised my father one day by jumping into the bathtub while he was 
filling it to bathe).

Yeah. /Warm/ places are great, so if your cat isn't /too/ paranoid about 
water, warm one will probably do fine :-)

(It might also make a difference what sound that faucet makes. If it 
babbles or gurgles that's fine, but if it hisses it's presumably evil...)

This was a faucet turned on at more or less full force.  He'd sit under 
the water stream and look up into the flowing water.

I never thought to see if the water was warm or not.  It probably was.
