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.

My oldest cat used to like drinking out of faucets; we bought a drinkwell fountain to imitate the flowing water, and that's been wildly successful. The middle cat (iconed!) likes to lick the tub faucet. Not right after it's been turned on necessarily either. The baby cat (free kitten!) checks out everyone's drink, and will pester you to the ends of the earth if you're drinking a smoothie or juice.

Cats!

This one doesn't really like faucets - she does like her bowl next to the sink and trained me to put it there. Mom's cat likes to lick water off the shower curtain after someone takes a shower.
