Title: Daft cats
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on May 27, 2007, 09:24:29 AM
Bought them a new water bowl on Fri, and went for one of the large dog ceramic bowls (vet said that they prefer dog bowls), Lucy sat next to it, took two licks and then just laid there. Tiger has just walked from the kitchen (Where she has a water bowl, but didn't change it yesterday to get her to consider the new one), through the front room where the new bowl is, and come into my room to drink out of Molly's - she does drink out of this one more than her own, no idea why, they are actually identical bowls - maybe my upstairs water tastes better (water filter needs a replacement at the mo)

Well I have a cat that will even drink the water from the floating candle bowls, he will drink from anywhere but his own water bowl, if he hears water he's there, strange.

We had to buy one of the dog ceramic bowls last week as our cat Penguin likes to put his paws in the water first and kept tiping the stainless steel bowl we had...

Lirael likes drinking out of my glass of water so I have to watch my water constantly

Well we have 3 foubntains all used, the dogs large waterbowl in the lounge - Border collie size and couldn't move it as jazz liked it and is now used to wash feet byy the cats and as a paddling pool, 5 or 6 other bowls non ceramic I have to say around the place but Peanut only from a dripping tap, Oscar the toilet in the ensuite - god knows why and 2 from the bath and one from the wet shower tray

They also love it when friends have glasses of wine but thats not allowed well we do shoo them away!

Des its sod law we like the bowl and they won't use it but at leaset it looks nice!

Snowy would only drink out of a wine glass, so she had her own - and it had to be in the front room, not the kitchen, surprised a few new people by drinking in front of them, they all got worred in case she was drinking alcohol!! WAter level doesn't seem to have been touched today, but she has fresh in the kitchen and my room, so wont go without!!

The cat has taste!

Meesha loves to drink from the bathroom tap, often by scooping up the water with her paw first!
