Why force it......?

Both Monty and Freddie prefer to drink directly from the tap (Faucet, US. Force it; geddit?).

Monty outside (thank goodness), and Freddie inside. I've tried to explain to them that it's exactly the same water as I put in their bowls, but they insist!

They are the same the world over. Our cats do that when given the chance.

How do they turn the taps on and off?

Cro Magnon said...

They've been trained by an expert.

Water way to start a blog post...

Cro Magnon said...

Come off it chaps... that's enough pun-ishment.

They are adorable and like you said, why force it? I've definitely started my day off with a smile. Merci.

my grand-cat Hank plays this same game...stalking the kitchen tap until you turn it on, then jumping away when she has convinced you she needed a drink but doesn't...only to return the second the water is turned off...repeat, repeat, repeat...(and I do...sigh).

Jacqueline, you have a grand-cat???

John Going Gently said...

all I could think was...

"what a clean sink"

Paul said...

Doesn't everyone have grand cats, we have two - consolation prize for no grand kids!

Unknown said...

I don't think of Hanky-pants (or my grand-puppy Daisy) as consolations at all Rabby...babysitting is a lot easier!

They all do it. It's SO much fresher straight from the tap.

Susan Kane said...

Don't you know by now--they are the masters, you are the pet.

Perhaps you could offer them a glass?

Tess Kincaid said...

Our Ralphy used to love the same thing!

Donna OShaughnessy said...

But can they bathe themselves without help ? Hmmmmm ? OK, besides the cat.

Victoria said...

They know something we don't!

Liz said...
