    I struggled for years with my cat to get him to stay hydrated. Did fountains, running tap, ice cubes in the bowl – nothing. Then one day, while he was slurping out of my water glass, it occurred to me: Just give him his own water cup up on a table, dumbass. Sure enough, his intake immediately shot up and his little bunny turds disappeared. Would recommend.

    Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

      My cat had her water jug/mug on the corner of the coffee table. It was pointless to try to keep her off the table, and she actually kept hydrated so…

      My husband handed me a glass of water this morning. I took a drink and noticed it wasn’t cold. “Was this on your nightstand overnight?!?!” That’s cat paw juice!

    Just wait until it’s a chicken. And not just water. It will sample all the things, starting with whatever is in your hand, or mouth.

      And attached to your feet.

      Warn people if you have chickens. Open-toed shoes look like grubs on a buffet to some of the little dinos.
