Our Siamese kitty Bella drinks out of the bathroom sink faucet. She likes the water to run off of her head and onto her nose so she can lap it as it runs down.
Melanie, I added that Wendy lives with my son and his family. I want a cat badly, and I'd like mine to look like a Siamese, but my old dog hates cats, and I'd have to keep the two separated, which would be difficult.
My Whitey would only drink from a running faucet. When she became too old to jump to the bathroom sink I would have to lift her up and down. She's been gone eight years and I still miss her so much.
Whitey came to me ... yes, she adopted me ... when she was about five years old. I had her for twelve years so she was approximately 17 when she passed. She was a most special cat who was totally in touch with my every emotion.
Sorry, she. I read "My Whitey" as "Mr Whitey" for some reason. I really do want a cat, but I can't see how I would keep Diana and the cat separated, and I don't think it would be fair to either one to try. We always had cats, and I miss not having at least one.
Wendy is sweet. I have a friend whose cat, now long passed on, used to clamber into the bath to wee down the plughole, which she would always do in a very elegant and fastidious manner, apparently.
Oh my! I've never heard of a cat doing that before, and so neatly.
Wendy is sweet. She was the nanny to the kittens of the family's other cat, whom they adopted when she was quite young, barely out of kittenhood, but who was nevertheless pregnant, as they came to find out. When she had her five kittens, she nursed them faithfully, but once the little ones were done eating, she was up and away. Wendy took over the chores of cleaning and grooming the kittens and remained faithful to the task until all but one of the litter were adopted into new homes. My son kept Stormy, who looks like a Russian Blue, and Wendy still grooms the huge Stormy.
Aw :) I hope Stormy appreciates his mum. I knew a cat who abandoned her kittens as soon as she had them, giving them the once-over as if she was saying: "What are These?" and then strolling off, leaving the entire care of them in the capable paws of her own mother, who took over. It's interesting that some cats seem to feel the maternal instinct much more strongly than others. It suggests the instinct is perhaps not so natural and ingrained in the female kind as all that.

ReplyDeleteOnly the freshest water for Whitey. How old was he when he died?

DeleteMy friends have a cat, Fred, who very much prefers a running fawcett. Kittehs is silleh.
ReplyDeleteKittehs are smart. They do what they want, and we humans go along with them.

DeleteWendy's had trouble with hairball overload from grooming herself and Stormy. She's on a diet of special catfood for the problem.
ReplyDeleteWell, that just goes to show where the maternal instinct will get you.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Wendy was spayed at an early age, but the maternal instinct is still present.
