Why Glasses of Water Are Not Safe Around My Cat

This picture reminds me exactly of my kitty, the aptly named Travieso. My husband named Travieso, Travieso, because, well, the kitty is a Travieso (Spanish for "mischievous"). T, for short, is enamored with anything involving water. One of his favorite past times is tonguing around the faucet, whether it's on or not. No glass of water is safe--anywhere. Ironically, it is fine to leave meat or other food items out on the counter--just not water. I once purchased one of those cat fountains that recirculates the water. T was so entralled with the running water, that he sat and pawed all of the water out onto the floor. Can you say, "Bad kitty?!" Ah, but he's such a sweet boy in every--well almost every other--way.
