If you have cats, as I have two charming Tonkinese sisters, you soon realise that whatever vessel you provide for their drinking, from diamonds studded to recycled take out container, they only want something not available. A dripping tap or showerhead or, if like me you drink gallons of water, the very cup or glass you are using.
I hold my hands up and confess I have now given up my hand painted goddess cup to their exclusive use and keep it topped up on the coffee table where they think they are stealing it, and I know they are drinking plenty so we are all happy. Except for my actually liking that cup for my own use it is a solution that suits us all - wonder if I could persuade them over to using the free texaco petrol mug instead?

Hi there
I too gave up when the boy was with me and left him his own pint pot on the table, my biggest task was stopping the human visitors drinking out of it, so in the end I gave him his own table also which he then saw as his watering hole.
Since he packed his bags and left me last September, my girl has taken over the post - previously had to leave tap dripping in bathroom for her - but she has taken over all of Charlies possessions and tasks now, including nagging me when it is time to go to bed, get up.....

Hope all is well and chat soon on the wonder of cats - a subject other than Science Fiction, I could bore for England on!! LOL
