I have just caught Louis Catorze chewing on the flip-top lid of a water bottle. 

It’s not often that Cat Daddy and I buy single use water bottles, as we prefer refillable bottles, but I was caught out on a hot day when I’d forgotten to bring water, so I had to pop into Planet Organic and buy some. 

We have often brought home half-drunk bottles of water, left them lying round, then finished drinking much later. And it pains me deeply to know that we could have been wrapping our chops around Catorzian spit at any, or all, of those times. 

To all the cat people reading this and saying, “It’s only a bit of cat spit”, just stop it. Would you rather eat cat spit, or NOT eat cat spit? 

Anyway, no, I did not give the water to Catorze; had I done so, he would have started refusing regular tap water and gone on thirst strike until I provided him with a regular supply Actiph alkaline ionised water at £1.49 for 600ml. The water was gifted to Cat Daddy’s tomato plants outside, and I thanked God and all his angels above that this wasn’t any worse: I once caught Catorze’s big brother Luther chewing on my electric toothbrush, in the place where I had left it charging up a zillion times before. 

How many more ways can they create, to annoy the merde out of us? And, no, that wasn’t supposed to be a challenge. 

Utter bastard cat

    You threw away the water because he chewed on the lid of the bottle? Haha, sorry, but that sounds a bit extreme. But I guess we all have (different) things we can and can’t live with 🙂 Sometimes I let Rosie have a little bit of yogurt from my spoon.

      Yes, I did. And I’d do it again! I couldn’t get the mouthpiece thing off so there was no way of consuming any water without possibly touching cat spit.

    I always keep a glass of water handy as I don’t like it cold from the refrigerator. Then I saw Gus drinking from my glass. He put his paw (yes, the one that goes into the litter box) into my glass and licked the water off his paw. Now I keep the water at a place he can’t reach. I’m surprised I didn’t die of cat paw dirt.

    I just assume that the probability of consuming cat spit or dog slobber anytime I eat or drink anything hovers at around 80% in my house. My hope is that this exposure strengthens my immune system. It probably does not, but one sometimes needs belief systems to deal with reality.

      That might be the case for my house, too, but I’m trying not to think about it. Laaa laaa, not listening [fingers in ears].

    Perhaps water in a crystal goblet in the photo Louis just needs a crown on his head; he looks so regal,

      Oh, we’ve tried all sorts of special water receptacles for him over the years! He will only drink from a wine glass, a pint glass or a tumbler. NOT A COCKTAIL COUPE.

    My sister has caught her cat stealing the bacon she had set aside for a sandwhich and tasting her coffee. This same hooligan fights my brother in law when he tries to eat off a tv table in the living room, she having succesfully fended off their two dogs (who are afraid of her) and another cat, who is not, but who reluctantly walks away from their battles in shame…I have to hide my breakfast butter cake in the microwave when I visit 😒

    The Boston Terrier crab walks past her while giving her side eye and the German Shepard, who earned a vicious nose scratch the second day after adoption, grants her right of way all over the house. 😼

      For a second I read that as “Boston Terrier crab”! I was thinking, “Do they really have a crab which is named after a dog?” 🤷‍♀️

    He is looking a little fluffier. Is it getting cooler there?

      Not really. He’s starting to lose that gaunt, elderly cat look, but we don’t really know why. 🤣
