the kitten chronicles - part 178

When you're the leader of a family of cats people expect you to know things about cats. Frankly, when questioned I just make stuff up. So when I encounter legitimate cat expertise I am impressed. Like when Rosie, the kindly cat sitter, informed me cooly that cats don't like their water beside their food and that she puts out water for her cats in a variety of places throughout her house. Kind of mini water stations. Aha! This explains why the fur brains regularly knock their water bowl over. They've been sending me a message. As for what water they prefer- I'd have to say they like Crystal Springs from Caledon. How else do I account for their behaviour when I fill a glass for myself? The boys immediately come over and leap at the glass in my hand trying to knock it from my grasp. And if this doesn't succeed they then go over and suck on the Crystal Springs tap. Very unsanitary! I can just hear Joanie now -" Steve those cats have got to go they're contaminating the water supply!" Just as long as they stay away from the Big Cat's beer. xxx dad
