I am not into “cat think” yet, unlike people in the cat litter marketing video I’ve watched about ten times.
I try. Take today for instance. I imagined I had run around outside chasing things, getting tired, perhaps tasting raw frog or feathers. Then I came inside and took a nap in a really warm room for hours, perhaps a little mouth breathing. I wake up and I imagine I’m getting really thirsty.
Why would I walk past this
And do this instead?
Why? Why?
I Just Have to Say... 
No challenge? 😄
Possibly, and it does appear to be challenging when you watch her get up there.
Haha, I can’t speak for the hygiene but apparently (I’ve recently learned after 40 years of having cats) they don’t like their water to be near their food. Or their food near their litter tray- reasonable. So cat paraphernalia is dotted all around the room….!
I tried your suggestion and moved the water away from the food. We’ll see.
Fingers crossed..there will be something different tomorrow!
Yes, there has been and you don’t want to know about it. Trust me.
Yeah, money passes up clean fresh water for the disgusting bird bath.
Ha! You named your cat Money? I’m assuming that’s a typo. (Monkey?)
