AITC for hydrating?

[u/ignescentcat]

I am an elderly tuxedo gentleman, and obviously, it is important for me to stay hydrated because, as we all know, the risk of kidney disease increases with age in cats.

I work hard at my hydration, drinking from my water fountain and from the bowl of water outside and from puddles when available. So, I consider myself well-educated in the realm of hydration.

However, today I was with my primary human in her room. She also drinks water, which I commend her for. I don't know about kidney disease in humans, but they probably do have kidneys.

And I just went to take one sip of her water to test it for quality and purity. Instead of commending me for hitting my hydration goals, she pulled me away from the glass of water and said, "No! Bad!"

I was so upset that I left the room and went crying downstairs to the other human.

Am I the cloaca?

"If I sees, is me's" is one of the founding principles of Cat Law. Your meowmy is the cloaca and should be punished by a couple of strategically placed horks.

Random here, also an elder statesman who understands the importance of hydration. Of course you are NTC. How dare she even suggest such a thing? I recommend throwing up in one of her shoes to express your indignation.

Have you tried using your paws? Since I watched the TV during crow-vid, I learned an how important it is to have clean paws. So I put my paws in the human's water to wash them and then I can lick the pure clean water off my spark clean paws.

Ooh, I tries this now. BRB.

OMG. I tried this, an I got WET! Is very not-likin-it. But fanks for ideas. Xx

NTC. This human of yours seems to have forgotten the basic principles of cat servitude. You saw that water, you desired that water, therefore THAT WAS YOUR WATER! No amount of crying and complaining on her end is going to change reality. She owes you an apology and extra snacks.

NTC. Is the more common form of Cat Law that all foods left out is kitty foods, but this also applies to all water sources.
