If I had a cat and caught it doing that, I'd absolutely turn the faucet on.

Stop trying to deepthroat the water delivery system, dumbass.

Why?
Is it unhealthy or in what way do they hurt themselves trying to gather fresh water?

Maybe just put an attractive alternative somewhere, like a cat water fountain?

I’d be worried about my cat chipping a tooth again, but she’s also a bit of a dumbass.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Ah yeah, guess that could be a problem

Strangely mine was obsessed with buckets of water. Now he got his own tiny bucket and he is happy with that ;⁠-⁠)

They'll turn into water balloons and then I can have a water balloon fight.

Edit: I also kinda prefer my water without toxoplasmosis gondii.

Well, I guess, then don't have cats at home
I'm pretty sure, that this single thing won't save you

And I'm not sure how often you drink it off the bathtub, but you do you...

Edit: because I'm a bit slow today:
How do you think cats clean themselves? Do you think they take a shower?
As they're licking themselves clean, you have absolutely no chance to not get contracted, because as soon as you pet them, you have it on your hands - disregard all the furniture they're lying on

I don't usually drink from the bathtub, it's just faucets in general lol. And no, I don't have a cat :p

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, then don't please get one, if you'd be such an asshole to it. Thanks

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bruh, I literally said I'd have a water balloon fight using waterlogged cats, and you took that seriously? I wouldn't really want toxoplasmosis inside of me, but I wouldn't actually turn a cat into a water balloon.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Hm... I somehow slipped that part and only read about the toxoplasmosis...

If you want them to stop, don't encourage them! Only turn it on when the tip is in.
