He probably won’t be bothered to drink it anyway if we do, it’s just the POWER AND CONTROL that’s the interesting bit. He has also begun to shout at us if his litterbox isn’t completely clean. If we go to bed later than usual he will become very restless, complain loudly, and race about the flat knocking things over and generally being very naughty. ...He has also become VERY vocal, but luckily for us he doesn’t miaw very loudly. He’s never miawed much up in our flat, but would usually “talk” to us, having a whole range of little chirps and purrs to tell us what he wanted or how he felt.
Oh John I should have sent you Tigris instead of Filou. These are his methods. Plus some house specialties: e.g. he lifts framed pictures with his big paw so that you are afraid they will drop on him.
I am very lucky that Siegmar is the one to get up in the night when our totally spoilt and badly educated cats ask for a midnight snack. And I agree -not because they are starving, just for POWER AND CONTROL
