Cats Need Water Too

Where does your cat get water? Some cats have water bowls. Actually, a lot of cats have water bowls, but only a few drink out of them. Most cats drink out of the toilet or, when they are otuside, they drink from the bird bath. But my cat Lucy will only drink from the sink. If she's thirsty and she sees you loitering around the sink, she'll leap up on the table and then across to the counter and the walk up behind the sink. She's gotten too fat to leap directly from the foor to the counter. Then she just looks at you like you know exactly what she wants. Which, of course, you do. So you start a slow stream of water and she leans over lapping until she's had her fill. This is usually followed by a short period of cat sneezing. She then jumps down and is on her way.
