Greetings, pawsome human minions and cat cohorts.
Forrest right here, and I’m feeling fairly aggravated right now.
My mom is on my litter field listing for the time being.
Why, you ask?
Effectively, right here’s my story of woe. I used to be merely thirsty and occurred to be perched on the kitchen counter the place my mom leaves her glass of water. She had simply refilled it so the glass was replete with cool, contemporary water for the sipping.

How may any self-respecting cat cross up the chance to quench his thirst when the universe simply handed him a chalice for the consuming?
Precisely. That sensible cat goes to benefit from the water so handed him.
Which is simply what I did. And the subsequent factor I do know, mother was yelling my identify from throughout the room. Then, I used to be plucked from my watering gap and relegated to the ground.
She blathered on, asking, “Forrest, why do cats drink out of water glasses?”

I swished my tail and flicked an ear in reply. She will take what she’s going to from that! Little does she know, I’m simply going to drink out of the cup once more when she isn’t trying.
However the reply to her query is a straightforward one. Pure instincts drive cats to hunt out the freshest water out there. The water in your glass might be extra lately poured than what’s within the water dish. Plus, curiosity guidelines the cat thoughts. We need to see what you bought in there, it’s our enterprise too, it doesn’t matter what you say.
