Cat with drinking problem

[kedrys]

Socrates has decided that if Caesar gets special treatment and is allowed to drink out of my faucet in the master bathroom, so does he. Sigh.

:D

1. the tops of my cats' heads were constantly wet

they sure love that running water. :-)

24. my cats' heads are wet from dog spit

they dog loves them far more than they love her :)

2. After all, since the kitty's name is Caesar

His Meowjesty is entitled to do whatever he damn well pleases--you're just a slave!

[kedrys]

3. Yeah, but SO-crates is not king...

aw, what's the use. Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

Caesar has noticed that Socrates drinks from the faucet now, and it frosts him no end. On top of that, Plato has been ogling the faucet the last few days. I'm doomed. :D

P.S. "His Meowjesty"...good one! I like! :hi:

4. Get a pet fountain!

I swear it works. Chaucer was the same way about only wanting running water. I got him a pet fountain and he loves it. Sometimes he plays in it, but mostly he just drinks a lot of water which is a good thing for boy kitties to do!

I highly recommend this one:

they are easy to clean and work well. The only suggestion i do have is used bottled water if you live in an area like mine with really high mineral content in the water. That can mess up the pump really fast.

5. Got one!

They drink out of it, and the toilets, and (obviously) the faucet. They're on their third kitty fountain, actually. Thanks for the suggestion, though! :hi:

23. I feel ya.

(is that the proper use of the current vernacular?)

We have one too, but Richard insists on having the tap turned on whenever anyone goes into the bathroom. Or even into the bedroom. Or stands or walks. :eyes: He's got us trained.

6. Oh, THAT type of drinking problem

I thought it was a feline version of AA. ;)

[kedrys]

14. I've tried to give them beer

Evidently not refined enough for their taste :D

7. Oops must drink this way too

He went through a real tough time when we remodeled the bathroom and removed his old, familiar sink. Cats being what they are about the familiar, he was completely freaked out about the new one and refused to drink out of it for a couple of weeks (he used the birdbath outside instead - that's his outdoor drinking spot).

So the hubby and I looked like a couple of complete fools cooing and cajoling him and trying to get him to use the damn thing. He's back to normal now and will imperiously drag us in there several times a day to take care of his highness.

15. At least Socrates waits for Caesar to be done now

That took a couple of weeks. Caesar is 13 and a half and getting really grouchy in his years, so he didn't appreciate getting nudged out of the sink all the time. Mom and Dad had to intervene. :D

8. Cats with other problems....

21. OMG, that's hilarious!!!

"Other problems" indeed! :rofl:

9. That's not a drinking problem

THIS is a drinking problem ----------->

[elshiva]

11. BwAHAH!

[kedrys]

16. I thought it was only a problem...

if the cat ran out of beer... :rofl:

[NoSheep]

10. This must be universal among cats! They all love the sink and the tub!

[kedrys]

17. When Plato was really small, he used to swim in the potty

That's how he got the nickname Aquatread :D. He can't be disciplined with the spray bottle: the wetter he gets, the happier he is. It's weird.

[NoSheep]

22. HA!

:7 Aquatread is a great name!

12. Only one of my three is a water lover

Scribbles is in the sink when I brush my teeth...I have to pus her out of the way to spit. She puts toys in the water dish, and plays in the shower after I'm done.

[kedrys]

13. Mine like the minty smell, but I have to make sure they don't lick it up

It'd probably kill 'em in a second...

[Not_Giving_Up]

18. Hey! You're still up!

:hi:

[kedrys]

19. Vaguely...

Was working on catching up with work, about to go rack out. Good to see you in advance of seeing you...! :hi:

[Not_Giving_Up]

20. 11:30, right?

Just making sure!
