Some of you may remember that I had a thread going on Charlie the Three Legged Teenage cat so this an update.
Charlie, a tuxedo tabby with orange / white fur. He has a white nose with a little orange spot under his nose that reminds us of Charlie Chaplin... hence the name Charlie. We met at "Angels with Paws" a cat rescue organization here in Colorado. His left rear leg had just been amputated because his previous IDIOT owner tied him up and used the leg to tie him. Charlie bonded with all three of us and convinced us that he was a new master entitled to our slavehood. Life with 4 other cats, all older by at least 6 years. Oldest is Tigger, about 15 years and very cranky with other cats. Tigger has been diagnosed with kidney disease just two months ago but is doing well, all things considered.
Three cats who are all brothers and the same age (6) and a 15 yr old crabby cat who does not play well with others.
That's the situation:
Now for the update:
Charlie likes to lay curled up in the sink of the guest bathroom. That is also where Shadow and Tigger like to get their drink of water. Tigger will stick his head or paw under the water and drink the water cascading off his leg or off his nose. (never have figured out why he likes it that way) Shadow will take dainty drinks from the stream of water with his head bent sideways. Shadow does NOT like to get wet.
"If" Charlie has gotten to the sink first, he will curl up in the sink and let the water run down his back and drink. Than he'll just wait.... curled up in the sink while water runs down his back. He even went to sleep like this.....
Shadow and Tigger are walking around the sink, MEOWING and telling him that it's their turn to drink. Charlie ignores all protestations that the sink is a communal thing.... I'm here... It's mine and you'll not get it till I"M DONE. Go away.....
In the meantime, Laptop, who will only drink from the masterbedroom sink, has gotten his fill and is "lounging" by the kitty TV. (the window where a birdbath and bird feeder is just outside the window and birds/squizzles eat)
I have pictures and will someday get them posted... but that's the latest on our obnoxious teenager.
