Amazing what we do as "kitty slaves"....We clean out Ritz's water bowl daily, as she typically finds the night time hours the best time to play "baptize the mousies"...and often leaves them to "marinate" until morning...

We scrub out the bowl, put fresh (filtered bottled because of her last year bout with UTI's) water in there for her, and where does she want to drink? From the bathtub spigot, where she will sit and wait for little droplets, put her paw under the tap, then lick the water off her toes. Occasionally, she will put her head under the tap, like she is taking a "shower" with the little drips..

She would probably use the "porcelain self-refreshing water bowls" too, but we keep bathroom doors closed and lids down when we aren't in there.

If you ever visit, don't put a glass of water down, or Ritz will be there...not to drink it, but to submerse one of her legs into it, ice cubes and all...not sure what that's about.
