My cat was born from a stray, and I took it upon myself to raise her. She acts like she doesn't remember what it was like to be outside for two years of her life, as she has completely adapted to her regal lifestyle with no interest in going back outside ever. She is convinced that water straight from the tap is better than water straight from the tap into her bowl. She also will drink from the puddles on the floor after a shower, because that is somehow also better than water in her bowl. She also scratches at doors she wants open. She also was mad at me for an entire day for the two or three drops of flea medication.
should get one of those cat water fountains. they prefer running water instinctually, so the fountain will make the water bowl much more intetesting to them.
The issue with this is that one of my other cats doesn't understand the concept of running water. He tries swatting it and biting it.
I've heard that before and it makes sense, but my cat also likes to stick is head in whatever container outside is filled with old rain water
Like, I'm not saying I understand how ancient people worshipped cats.
I am saying that I'm not sure how future archeologist will be able to determine that I don't.
We have a shower chair. Oh meow lord help us if we don't pull the chair out where The Goober can stare at us while soaking his harbls on the leftover shower water in the chair. He will let us know.
You can’t say all that and not post a pic!
So precious 🥹
Such a baby
