I have managed to record Louis Catorze drinking from the tall tumbler version of the Versailles wine glass. (Yes, I bought him TWO birthday glasses, so that he would have one if the other were in the wash.)
The angle is weird and it’s not the clearest footage because I had to film it from far away, with my arm up in the air and awkwardly bent; had the little sod seen me filming, he would have stopped drinking and run towards me, chirping and trilling.
I sent the video to Cat-Disliking Friend to see if he, as a science teacher, might be able to give his professional explanation and some sort of Archimedean theory about why Catorze manages to spill so much water, even though I don’t fill the glass right up to the brim.
CDF’s response was as follows: “He doesn’t seem to shove THAT much of his face into the water, does he? I think he’s just a crap drinker.”
And here endeth the analytical science experiment.
The next stage – if, indeed, I dare to take things that far – will be to buy Catorze a coaster for his water glass. Cat Daddy is already absolutely livid about the glasses, the antique cutlery and the fancy cat bowls, but maybe a coaster will be the thing to lighten the mood?
