Persia & the Water Glass
I drink a lot of ice water. Lately when I pick up the glass (it's
actually an insulated plastic cup) Persia is right there, reaching for the glass in my hand. She can't fit her head into the glass (laugh) so I dip my finger in the cold water and she licks it. I nearly always have a glass of ice water on the bedside table in case I get thirsty during the night. Last night I woke up feeling a bit parched. Persia immediately stood up and started pawing at the glass. I had to give her a couple of drops to lick off my finger before she'd let me settle down to get back to sleep. I used to occasionally add an ice cube or two to her water dish. I'll have to start doing that again. I think she likes her water to be nice and cold. Jill |

Roxy would shove her head into any glass of water I happened to have with me, if I were to allow her to. Which is why: (1) I use only plastic cups, and (2) I never leave the cup unattended. I rarely wake up needing to drink water. If anything, I wake up needing to get rid of water. If I did, though, I'd have a water *bottle* by the bed, either plastic or one of those non-reactive metal ones. Last thing I need to step in when I wake up is broken glass. :-O -- Joyce I prefer to live with Feline Sapiens, thank you very much. |
