I have a friend who calls my cat "Sh!thead", and this morning, I have to agree.

I washed his feeding mat, fed him some breakfast, turned around and the little Sh!t overturned TWO QUARTs of water...(his water container) all over the floor. I couldn't even clean it up because he didn't want to quit paddling around in the mess he had made. I couldn't believe how far the water spread. Finally, I had to give him a swat on the butt with the empty paper towel tube to get him OUT of the water.

Nothing like mopping with paper towels, by hand, while bent over double, to improve one's mood for the day. 🤣🤣🤣

Then he started in Wowing like he wanted something...and he has already been fed, has clean water, and ALL of his darned needs have been met.

Needless to say, he is NOT on my faves list this morning

Tell your friend your cat's name is pronounced shi-thead.

Suggestion: don't give him half a gallon of water at a time? A little bowl, often refilled?

But I do share your pain. I also am a victim of psychological persecution by cat - and we have three of them

@WalterF Psychological persecution...LOVE it!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou Our 16-year-old Walter is an expert. I say, No, I'm not going to give you more food, you've had loads of different stuff already. Then I feel him drilling into my mind... and all I can do is give in and say, Ok, Walter, let's see what I can give you.

He wins the duel every time!

@WalterF This one, too. He will SIT quietly, (at times), in front of his food mat, with three different flavors of treats in front of him, staring at me intently, as if to say, "Do you expect me to eat STALE treats that have been sitting here for hours???? Where is the finely chopped smoked turkey lunchmeat?????"

🤣🤣🤣

They make automatic waterers for pets if he makes a habit out of that
4meAndyou · F
@cherokeepatti He does.

When I have a Godinger fancy china item that he can use as a water "bowl", I try to use it. I had an 8" milk pitcher I used to use, because it was just the right height so he didn't have to crouch to drink. He did the same thing to that...unfortunately it cracked all down one side after he knocked it over.

So I switched it out with this Godinger china cannister, the lid of which I broke when I first moved here. That way my heart won't break if and when he breaks the cannister.

I mean, I love him and all, but he is hard on the equipment...🤣🤣🤣

Presently I am looking into a kitty water fountain on etsy and amazon...I like the ceramic ones but I don't want to pay that much.

@4meAndyou One of my female parakeets, Jay-Jay, loves to throw seeds from her seed cup. I thought she outgrew that habit but she started back up again last week. I kept telling her to stop and she wouldn’t, so I took both seed cups out for over 2 hours. She is in a cage with Kiwi. I finally cleaned all the cages and was putting their seed cups back and Jay-Jay didn’t move off the perch like she usually does. She stared at my hand and opened her beak up wide like she was wanting to take a chunk out of my hand. Then Kiwi scooted behind her and gave her a hard peck so she wouldn’t get me. I thanked Kiwi for taking up for me. Kiwi also had to do without seeds for over 2 hours but she knew why I removed them. Parakeets like to eat every 15-20 minutes so that was a long time to go without food for them.

Maybe he was Wowing because he wanted
you to give him some catnip to get high on...? 🤔
4meAndyou · F
@Thinkerbell He is certainly acting like he is high right now...chasing himself through my apartment...But you are right...life is not all food and water and looking out the sliding door and smelling nature. I DO have some catnip spray, and if he keeps wowing I will spray one of his toys! 🤣🤣🤣
