Clean paws
We recently weaned the kittens (primarily Mac) off their water dish in the bathroom sink. We only spent $40 on a water fountain….
Mowie seemed to be the only one actually using the fountain, as we never really see Sunny drink or eat and Macky preferred to jump in the sink and drink/play in the bowl we kept in there. Why did we keep a bowl of water in the sink? Because Macky likes to splash in the water bowl and make a mess.
I felt guilty for a while because Mac really enjoyed jumping on the sink and he drinks a lot of water, but the constant dirty paw marks all over the sink made us decide it was time. Macky must drink out of the fountain.
The transition was easy, as I guess he was thirsty and decided to succumb. Sunny however, has taken a different approach. He drinks out of the opening at the top of the fountain where the water comes out, rather than the bowl part. As if he didn’t want to share germs and had to get the water before it hit the pool. The past few days I’ve noticed why he does this… he washes his paws in the bowl part. Yes, he dips his dirty paws in the bowl then licks them.
This cat is so cute and perfectly groomed it is unbelievable.
