Well I would like to thank everyone that commented and favored this picture. It is also one of my favorites. As for the set up, I actually had to train him to just stand there but for the most part he kind of did it on his own. He knows he can't get out of the bathroom while the door is shut but the second the door is open he bolts out and slides right by you. Set up involved a tripod, a slow shutter speed and a remote. I had to keep dumping water on him because he kept shaking it off. Here are a few outtakes.

That is a fantastic photograph. The fact you could get a cat to be still enough to shoot anything is a feat of it's own; but in a bathtub, you're a master.
What a great photo. I think its ironic that your final score for this poor little creature is 666 :) He looks like he would send the devil after you if he could :)
Congrats on the top 20, I really like this shot and it is one of my favs from the challenge. You can tell that he doesn't hate water as much as most other cats:)

This is one of the two pictures that I think definitely deserves a ribbon. The processing fits the mood and expression on the cat. Overall, this is just a perfect shot in terms of composition, processing, and a really good subject. Well done. The only thing I am not crazy about is the title, but that's not really important.
You really needed some light in the cat's eyes (although you probably didn't have many chances to do this :D), but it's still worth a 10 for me. Very Cute.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I do need to clean off the keyboard now. Going along voting on all these cute little fuzzy critters and then THIS! Creative, unique, and every cat's nightmare. Thanks for making voting a bit more fun with this entry! And give the poor kitty a treat. He deserves it for posing for you! :)
LOL Awe, poor kitty. I like the saturation you used here. Expression on the cat's face is priceless. I'd be running for my life if I did this to my cats :P. Someone is a good sport :).
I hope she took the bath voluntarily... nice processing, like the muted colors. vignetting is a bit heavy, composition is too centered for the landcape format, had cropped to square
An unhappy portrait, but oh what a stock photo! Love the antique toning, with just enough pink in the ears. Not everyone's cup of tea for "portrait", but I love it!
