That's why I put out only a small bowl which I fill several times a day. I have two Pekingese and two cats, so the water goes quickly. I'd have to do it anyway. And my dogs and cats do not like drinking out of a autowaterer, probably for that reason.

Our Siamese refused to drink out of a bowl, and instead learned to turn on the bathroom sink faucet--clever these Siamese--so we started leaving it dripping for her (we had a well)

Pepper, our youngest cat, loves to sit right at the sink or at the edge of the tub when the water is running. She will stare at the water as you are washing dishes or taking a shower. But fall in and she takes off like no tomorrow. Must be the sound that fascinates her. She has fallen into the toilet a couple of times, so now avoids that. When she does drink water, the bowl is in a stand next to the one dog's food bowl. She will sit in the food bowl to drink out of the water bowl in the same stand. Guess its cause the dog is the dominant pet in the household and this is Pepper's way of getting back at Lucy.

Quite an interesting menagerie you have going there Animals add so much to the well being of our homes. Pepper and Lucy sound very compatible and know their place in the hierarchy haha!~!~!~ Our Tequila is queen of this castle and dominates us lol. She too loves bath time and loves sitting in the tub as the water drains all-the-while lifting her paws and shaking them as if she can't figure out why they are wet She too loves drinking out of the toilet. We can't put any of those tank cleaners due to this and as Snowball wrote, "If you keep the toilet bowl clean everyday, it is safer than the water in public drinking fountains." You have quite an interesting life Pmom |

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people keeping track of the same thing.

I've often wondered, where in the world do women keep all of that info? Anytime something goes wrong women can pull an entire history book out of their head. |

Toilet Cleaning Instructions :
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet; the cat is actually enjoying this. 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash and rinse'.
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door. 7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift both lids. 8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom and run outside where he will dry himself off. 9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely, The Dog ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Now hear this....." Before all you cat lovers/owners get mad at me, Remember this is the "Joke" topic, Therefore, that's a joke.  My youngest daughter has a cat that's 21 years old, The oldest dog I've ever owned lived to be over 15. Also remember, Dogs have "Masters...Cats have Staff." |

Snowball... my husband tells everyone he does not need a set of encyclopedias because he is married.

I got a chuckle out of it Seadog. And I realized it is a joke. Actually, we have in the past had a couple of weird cats that enjoyed bath tub time (my daughter's cat would actually take a bath with her very calmly). It's all in getting them used to it at a very young age.

Actually in my house it is the reverse. Maybe it is because my hubby is disabled so does the housework while I bring home the bacon.

Now I know where they got the idea for the movie "Mr. MOM"
A miracle is something that can't happen but God does it anyway. |
