He was such an excellent kitty, I wish he was still here
I woke up to one of my cats doing this to my bedtime water a couple years ago so I switched to a lidded cup to avoid pussy hair in my water.
Last night I woke up to the cat licking the straw and now I'm wondering how long that went on for.
I have two glasses of water on my bedside table. One that is always empty unless I'm using it and one decoy that is exclusively used by my cat. She doesn't drink from a bowl so this is what it takes.
What's it with kitties insisting on stealing our drinks and letting themselves go thirsty if they're stuck with a bowl, fountain, or cup of their own?
One of my cats was really fluffy and would soak up water with his paw and lick it off. Sometimes this was right after he went poo and now I know what cat litter tastes like.
Reminds me of my cat that passed
OMG I had an enormous cat with very similar look who did exactly that to drink. His sister, though, knew that you had to get the water out of the glass to drink it, she would just tip it over with her paw, and drink from the resulting puddle.
I cannot for the life of me get my cat to drink... I've tried keeping the bowl separate from her food, Ive tried the flowing water fountain things, I've tried different bowls... At one point I completely stopped giving her kibble and only give her wet food now because I was worried she wasn't getting any water at all.
Did you try directly from the tap? Some cats are boujee like that. I had an elder cat that would pretty much only drink from the tap or anything that was filled from the tap. He would often hop onto the bathroom sink and sit there, meowing until someone came to turn the tap on for him
I can't, I have well water that is not great to consume. I have to buy bottled water unfortunately.
record scratch hey it's me
