Hey I think I said that wrong - rotting food near water holes contaminate the water, so the water is unsafe to drink. He might be protecting his water from stupid human contraptions.

Just read your answer :)) Was on the phone with my daughter when I was posting the response. It's the water, not the food :))
I finally found where I saw it.
That's a great video! Some changes have already been made. That food bowl pictured in the blog? It has been converted to a water dish. The cat now has two water dishes and a flat dish for food--still too close at a foot away. In the daytime when the dog comes up the food dish is actually in another room because the dog steals the food :))
He has plenty of climbing. Dressers, window seats, cat hotel. And two scratch posts. He doesn't have to worry about me cleaning too much :)))
It's a good video. A little alarming, and also sad. We had a female rescue that was not spayed. She died of mammary tumor. However, the choice not to spay her was necessitated by physical reality. My daughter found her in a car engine when the kitten was just a week or two old. The animal's leg was broken, irreparably. She never really thrived. Always was underweight, and a little simple minded. We once asked about amputating her leg and spaying her, but the vet could not assure us she would survive the operation. So she lived a short, but happy life as a lame animal.
Anyway, good video. A lot to think about. Not that many modifications necessary here. The cat rules!
