My old cat would not drink out of a bowl by her food, even if it was the only one. She liked the drips from the shower after we'd used it. So we set her water bowl up in the bathroom and she used it there. I'd read somewhere that cats weren't accustomed to having water where their food is.
But now both are downstairs in the bathroom because she has a hard time with so many stairs, at age 20.
I sure hope my Sammi Jo makes it 20+.! She just turned 11.
Amazing, just amazing, great job kitty momma.
Wow, 20! That's great! :D
