Sunday Stills - water



It has been a lovely spring day and Abby has been sunning on the balcony in the sunshine.
Violet has been entertaining all weekend and strolling along the streets in search of an outdoor patio.
Me, as a cat, I have simple needs - a bowl of water and I'm good. Here I am, having discovered that drinking from my paw is so much neater than slurping straight from the bowl. It shows a certain amount of dexterity and finesse, don't you think?
This week's challenge was water. See more SundayStills takes on water by going here

  3. LOL My cat is not like that, this old lady doesn't like to get her paws wet :)

    Gorgeous day isn't it? Fabulous weather to do the Achilles 5k race. Me and my clinic students did it this morning and we couldn't have asked for better day! Best of all, everyone was Irish today!

    See you soon!

  5. Andrea: thanks, I wasn't sure if this was a cat theme or a water theme!!

    gtyyup: it is their preferred task in life.

    UA: I don't like getting my hands wet either.

  6. Citizen: and it is hard to look dainty when you are so 'chunky'.

    Delwyn: that's what I thought.

    Char: and yet you've seen this before? she started this only about 5 months ago and now does it every time she drinks.

  7. Agreed that the paw lapping is much more civilized!

  8. aw, very cute! My rabbits drink from a drip-bottle which is also cute but our cat just slurps from a puddle or the pool and ignores the water in her bowl entirely!

  10. J9: maybe she's also left-handed?

    Sagittarian: your cat has peculiar tastes!

    geewits: I have found this one to be amusing (once I decided she hadn't hurt her paw)

  11. My former cat Max always drinks his water that way! He lives at my daughter's house now.

    What a beautiful day it was here, too!

  12. usan: we are visiting each other at the same time!
    I am relieved to hear that about Max - Abby only started doing this a few months ago and I kept thinking she hat hurt herself. Changing her habits after 12 years?!

  17. That is different, my cat drinks from the dog bowl. The dogs give him plenty of room, he runs the house.

  18. FFF: it certainly looks unusual.

    Ed: ;)

    RG: this is actually a bread bowl she is drinking from (probably the same size as a dog bowl)

  20. Gwen: aren't you glad you stopped by?!

  21. How cute! Our cat hasn't quite mastered this skill yet. He just slurps straight from the bowl. Men, eh!

  22. Babaloo: I find this quite odd, actually.
