Maybe it's because I gave them lots of baths at an early age, or maybe it's just because they're goofy...but my three kitties have developed a great fascination with water. I know lots of you have cats who also love playing in/watching water, so you probably have similar stories of your own...but I just had to share this one.
This morning hubby and I were out working in the yard for a couple of hours. We came in to take a break, and I noticed that our collie's big stainless steel water dish was off its mat...and empty. I knew that the culprit had to be one of the 3M's because Brenna isn't the playful type. I showed hubby and he said, "You know, when I came in earlier Molly was standing in the water dish..." Yeah, just standing there...caught in the act of spilling the poor doggie's water all over the floor just for fun! So, I cleaned it up, refilled the bowl and went back outside.
Not 30 minutes later I came back in, and what do I find? Yup, an empty water dish again, and Molly sitting nearby licking her suspiciously wet paws, otherwise looking quite innocent...of course! So, after cleaning up the puddle a second time, I filled the dog's bowl and brought to the office with me where I could keep an eye on things. And the first thing Brenna did was follow me and take a long drink...poor thirsty doggie can't even get a drink with these crazy cats around! No wonder she is not so sure if they're her friends!
