Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2005Killing the wadder monster
Caliban is fascinated by the kitchen sink. He checks it out several times a day. If there are dishes soaking in the sink, he drinks from them. Sometimes he just sits in it, looking immensely pleased with himself. But the best is when meowmie turns on the tap. Then this glittering snake appears that runs from the tap and down into the hole in the sink. Caliban does what any self-respecing cat will do when he sees a snake; he tries to bite its head off. Chomp! Wha-huh?? What happened? Did it bite me? No, it doesn't hurt. But why is my face all wet? And it didn't die! It's running as fast as ever, from the tap and down into the hole! Bite it again! Chomp! Wha-huh? One day, Caliban will surely succeed in killing the wadder monster. One day he'll be big and strong enough. Until then, he is getting lots of practice. And getting very wet in the process.  SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

I'm working on it, but when Caliban sees me coming with the camera, he loses all interest in the 'wadder monster' and comes to investigate the camera instead.

Thanks for posting those. :-) It's a shame you've run out of space on Webshots, I would enjoy seeing more full size pics of Caliban.

Da wadder greebling (aka monster) can only be tamed if da meowmie buys da wadder fowntan fing fur da kittie to master! Ofurwise, da monster will always have da control and da monster greeblings win!

Dat's just a tale to frighty der baby kitties. Me & da KFC won't drink no fresh or running wadder. We likes da dog bowl wot meowmie fills up outside da back door and we won't drink it if the wadder is not a few days old. Boyfie Meowmies note: it's true. They don't seem to like fresh water to drink, only old water from this dog bowl. I have cleaned it out and put new water in it today, which means they will be drinking out of the birdbaths for a couple of days I suppose. <sigh> >>> Caliban is fascinated by the kitchen sink.

He only drinks very fresh water. If it's even just a few hours old, he sits in front of the bowl and scratches the floor but won't drink. I have to dump the old out and put in new. Then he drinks. Vino actually drinks quite a bit. I'd say I see him drinking 3-4 times a day. Maybe it's because it's so hot here. Vino also has some specific requests regarding the location of drinking water. Next to the cat food is unacceptable. Drinking water must be in the bathroom or on the kitchen counter. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Then he drinks.

The one by the tub, and one, a glass of water I left sitting on the table by the armchair, are extremely popular. Water in the kitchen can sit there until doomsday, as well as water in the bedroom (well, I do hear Sugar drinking that at night sometimes). >> Meowmies note: it's true.

Tiger will only drink from the fish pond/water garden in the sunroom. Tigger usually drinks from the d*g's bowl, regardless of how fresh her own water bowl is.

That would be priceless!!! It does take video, but it requires a lot of light and I don't have enough by the sink. It looks incredibly funny when he tries to bite the neck off the water. And then the puzzled look. Then another try. Heheheheh. SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.
