When Debbie or I come home from work, Figwit is insistent that we turn on one of the bathroom sinks so that he can drink. It's not that he's allergic to sitting water in his bowl. Oh no, he seems to enjoy that especially when it's gross because of, oh, say, a frog that fell in. Crazy.
He has another water fetish -- drinking from water glasses. It used to be that he'd jump on the counters when he thought we weren't looking, tip over a glass, then lick up the resulting puddle. Now he stands on his hind legs, placing his front paws on the counter ledge, and begs for a drink every time that I fill my glass at the sink. If I ignore him, he stands up and puts his front paws on my stomach to beg. If I kind of squat down to drink, he'll jump up and try to drink from the glass while I'm still holding it. It's almost like a circus act at times!
Our compromise is that I drink most of the water while he's begging, then I tip the glass over his head and pour a couple of drops into his mouth. Mmmm, he loves it!
He also loves romaine lettuce -- more than tuna. Crazy!
Edit: A roach just tried to run inside from the porch. I screamed, and my big burly-man cat dove under the bed!
