So,
As luck would have it I was looking in the goldfish pond a little too closely last week and I fell in. As anyone who has ever held me over any amount of water knows, I am an absolute nightmare when A) I am wet, or B) I am ABOUT to get wet.
As I was slipping and sliding along the rock features as I tried to get out of the pond, I started wondering "what's up with water?' My little cat brain has always thought of water as something of a paradox. I'm more than happy to drink water wherever I see it -- a bowl (toilets included), a shower, or a pond. However, I'm absolutely appauled when it touches my fur...unless of course, I'm licking myself. In fact, I'm even cool with water if it comes from some other kitty's tounge, but if it comes from a hoze or a water gun pointed at my rear, I run in fear. So what gives? Any other kitties out there experiencing this issue? How do you deal with accidentally stepping in your water bowl? I personally usually run away and then lick my paw, but that hardly makes any sense. If I were smart, I'd just rub my paw on a paper towl...except, no don't get me started on paper towels!

Leave A Comment | 1 person already has Hi Pinot ..... what's up??? Anyways, I agree with you about the water stuff. I also freak out when confronted with bodies of water. But I love drinking from my water fountain! Regarding your question, I have never experienced stepping in my water bowl. I guess I am just not as clumsy as you.
Mai Tai out.
