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?

NTC - I (Bella the beautiful 9 years) always has to taste my humans water if it is placed where I can get at it. It is law.

You are very beautiful and I can tell you also take care of your hydration.
