What's a "ram"?


A mistyped "arm".

And if you've ever had a mistyped arm, you know how painful that can be.

LOL! - I thought it was some kind of stick one would use to coerce cats into
going where you want them to go........I'm glad that its just an
arm....That's what I use, too. (and my hand has the scratches to prove it.)

Is this something to worry about or should I just leave water around
and let her nature take its course?

Should I try to insist that she drink some water before serving food
(about the only leverage I have)?


YOu can lead a cat to water, but you cant make her drink, said the
wise old sage of yesteryear. Beebe seems to have an interest in
drinking out of the toilet bowl on the second floor so I put a dish of
water next to the toilet and Ive seen him drinking out of it.
Actually when I notice that he's gone into that bathroom I usually go
in and change the water in the dish and he drinks out of it.

Go to petsmart.com & buy a "water fountain" water dish. It causes the water
to flow through the dish. Cats love running water. Ours will drink only
from it; they will not drink standing water.

And take the cat to the vet to get its blood tested. Vet will know what to
test for.

She probably is drinking in public, but you should get the "recycling
fountain" dish.
