Cats...

...can't live with 'em, can't boot 'em across the room when anybody's looking.

Anyone who has a cat knows that when you have a perfectly clean bowl of water sitting right by the sink (where she's trained you to put it), which is refilled with clean, cool water once a day or more, that the water which is INFINITELY preferable is the three-day-old half-glass of water sitting by the bed with a dead fly floating in it.

Or at least had a dead fly in it. I believe the cat has supplemented her diet with an extra bit of protein. She'll be so bummed to discover I've gotten rid of the half-glass of water she's been jamming her head way down into and drinking from for three days.

Our cats always seem to prefer funky or soapy water - either in the kitchen sink or the bathtub. O_o Even more annoying is they won't eat out of their food bowl (which has a tank full of food) unless the food is shaken out into the bowl and fills it to the top. (>_<)

Mine likes it when I shake her food bowl. I think the half-chewed bits fall to the bottom. XD

Quite. Ours either have a distaste for the leftover crumbs or they just don't like having their whiskers brush the inside of the bowl to get to the layer of food on the bottom. The latter is an odd idea as they don't have any problem with sticking their heads all the way into shoes and other tight places. =-P
