You can lead a cat to water ...

[Freedom]

LOL funny and oh my such a typical cat story!

I have a slow drip in my cellar. Been trying to fix it since April, no luck. So for Sandy, I decided to "work with the drip" and set things up so the water goes into a bucket, not all over the floor.

FOUR water dishes in the house including one down cellar, guess where I find the cats drinking? It isn't even CLEAN!!!

I have given my cats filtered water ever since a long-ago roommate told me that filtered tastes like rainwater, or water found in the great outdoors - no chlorine and etc.

She had a cat and I did too - and my cat would always go to drink out of the other cat's bowl! That's when she told me the difference.

I have four clean water bows full of fresh water and ice cubes , yet the commode would still be their water dish.

Yep! Tink is my toilet water kitty. I keep it closed though because it just doesn't seem right.

cats like well-oxygenated water and every time you flush the toilet it's like a fresh bowl for them.

I also give my cats filtered water but they seem to want plain old tap water. Every time I use the kitechen or bathroom sink, Rory jumps in and tries to lick up the water. Now I fill some of their water bowls with tap water and yes they do drink from them. Even if there's plenty of water in their bowls, I do dump out the water every morning, clean the water bowls, and then fill them up with fresh water. I tried water fountains in the past and some would use it and some wouldn't. Then my RB Sunny decided to play in it and there was water every where. I've noticed that Rory and Radar like to play in the water so I won't be trying out any more fountains any time soon.

I have a fountain and a water dispenser that looks like a Sparklett's bottle. Where does Mac drink from the most? Yep, the toilet! Go figure.

Awwww, orange kitties! I was just thinking and talking to Cassie about you! And Pearl, Ziggy and Sky too, of course

I have noticed that right after I clean her water bowl and refill it, that is when she comes right over to drink. She cracks me up with the way she drinks... lap lap lap (swallow), lap lap lap lap lap (swallow), lap lap (swallow). She also drinks sometimes after she eats, so I find bits of her food in her water dish. Then she gives me the "Staff, take care of this" meow.
