Drinking out of the bathroom faucet *Update 8/9*

[Medusa]

I swear, doesn't it feel as though we're dealing with newborns and toddlers all over again with these critters...?

HA! I never would've put up w/this stuff w/my son. LOL Actually, I think that sometimes it's easier raising a child than a calico. She'll sit at the bottom of the staircase and meow incessantly until I get up. As soon as I walk into the bathroom, she scampers up the stairs to the faucet. She must be feeling a little better, though, because around 4:00 AM, she got into bed w/me and pushed her head into my hand, indicating that she wanted a noggin noogie. She hasn't wanted to even be touched lately; she's been such a hermit. I decided this morning that I'm not putting her back into her room. I want to see if she'll go out onto the patio and get some sun, which she usually loves but instead she ran downstairs into the basement and into one of the carriers. Guess she's just not feeling up to it yet. I gave her the second injection of Epogen yesterday and I'm sure hoping that it's going to do the trick.

That little stinker - wakiing you up when she can get up the steps by herself. Maybe she's assuming the roll of drama queen now and wrapping her Mom around her little paw. Sounds like she is feeling a little better anyway - that's good news.

Hi Mary-i Am Glad That Your Princess Is Making Progress. Oftenmy Cats Progress While I Degress!! It Is My Experience That Most Cats Prefer Nursing The Faucet Rather Than Their Own Waterdish. The Reason I Have Heard Is The Movement Of The Drops Or Slow Stream Is Fascinating. The Fountains Are A Great Idea And I Have Yet To Actually Purchase One For My Sammy And Pepper. The Mentioning Of The Iron And Needed Minerals Of The Piprs Do Make Alot Of Sense Too. Ha Ha I Am 49 And The Bio-bomb (biological Clock) Has Seased And Yet My Cats Have Been My Kids. He22 Yeah!!! I Would Do So Much More For One Of These Cats Than For A New Mate. Toooomuch Drraammmaa That! Ok-i Just Wanted To "spout" Off----ooooohhh Nnnnoo I Didn't Just Type That~ See Ya Susanswatlin518

Believe me, I understand about doing more for my cat than a new man. LOL I just wish Puddy would at least drink out of her fountain. She sits at the bathroom countertop all day and night. She only leaves there to eat or use the litter box, then back she goes. It's as though she's afraid to stray too far from the faucet or something. Thanx for your unput, though, and keep up the good work w/your kitty.
