She's a sweetie! I'm pretty sure "big rain" on a track cab roof can make a lot of noise, and that's scary for a cat. A long time ago, we would give one of my old cat baths from time to time, and he didn't actually mind the water itself... the problem was the sound of the tap running sounding a bit like a hissing cat. When we just presented warm water in a plastic tub, he'd get in under his own steam.
