How's a Cat S'posed to get a Drink Around Here Anyway?





By looking beguiling and exercising mind control over one's human, one can succeed in having the keg turned on.

  1. Is this one of the cats to whom Jim Blewett often refers? They sound like they might have occasional recourse to a keg.

    Oh yeah, Blewett has definitely let that cat out of the bag on more than one occasion.

  4. Hi Anya,
    Yes, this is my kitty, Tasha. She loves to drink a trickle from the tap if I turn it on for her, and after she's quenched her thirst, will play with the water, trying to catch the drips before they hit the tub. I think it's a way of keeping her hunting skills tuned up in anticipation of catching birds when (if) spring comes. Or she's bored.

  5. Tasha wins todays Extreme Cuteness award! My WV 'blumnit', usually preceded by a resounding "so there"!

  6. What a sweety pie ! Funny, our cat does the same game, about 25 times a day, running into the bathroom, meowing for a tap to be turned on in the bidet (yes, this is France, there are bidets in bathrooms), and looking most unhappy until it happens. This routine can be repeated frequently during the day...

  7. Hi Saj,
    If cat's actually gave a blumnit, Tasha would thank you for the vote of Extreme Cuteness of the Day. I will do so on her behalf.

  8. Owen,
    Oh mon dieu! Mieux que la toilette, en tout cas.

    In one of the more down to earth, but utterly charming, places we stayed in Calabria, the toilet didn't have a seat, so it was easy to confuse it with the bidet, esp. in the middle of the night (insert Billy Joel song here). And what's up with that, speaking of toilet seats--no guide book ever advised one to bring along a spare toilet seat.

  14. I think the Egyptians worshipped cats because of their slinky, delicate feline walk, whereas the humans could only walk like an Egyptian.
