Drinking problem

It's not me, but my cat Choupette, who has a drinking problem. She always had. She just can't drink simply. She must make it a drama. She'll disregard any dish with fresh water, and will insist to drink from the faucet of her choice. Not always the same. Possibly, from all the faucets in a row. She is also picky. At some times, the vet and I put her on med during the summer to make sure she'd be thirsty enough to drink enough. That was after she was very sick from not drinking... she'd drink from other weird places too, so I've learnt not to leave my glass unattended...

Since she is 16, I do my best to cope with that. From the moment I put a foot in the bathroom, I knew this was going to be one drama day. She drank from the faucet upstairs, from the water remaining from my shower (I made sure it was clean and soapfree), I filled her upstairs dish, the one that looks like a swimming pool. Then we went downstairs to the kitchen. She had her wet food, another dish of fresh water, one of milk. All that before preparing my own breakfast.

I was in my couch, almost finished with said breakfast when I needed to fetch something from the kitchen. When I came back, she had tried to drink from my high and narrow glass. Of course, her face did not fit in it, and she could not reach the water. Instead, she poured that half empty glass directly into the paper bag where I keep my alpaga yarns and wip scarf... Amazing how much water a half empty glass contains. While I tried to save the contents, she was quite happy to lick the droplets that fell on the floor. Was very excited when I emptied the paper bag outside, and drank from the puddle there. And when I told her how annoyed I was, she answered with very rude meows. Silly beast!

When I finally left she was still trying to make me feel guilty... After all, it was only water, not soda, and yarns, not my Ipad, so why should I complain?...

I hope that you and I won't have worst things to deal with today! Be appy and take care!
