Like water off a .... errr

[Karateed]

Quite funny.....my old 19 yr old female cat used to put her head under the bathroom sink faucet while drinking.....cold water btw.....it was a consistent practice.

I stopped her from being on the counter so she doesn't break a shoulder when jumping down....she is quite old now at 19.

You must be a good papa to have a cat 19 years old. I like that you are concerned for her health. Good for you, dear!

Hi Burpee,

Yes, she's a very dear cat to me and my wife. It's easy to be a good papa to such a wonderful little friend. She's had some health issues at different times of her life but she has overcome or been helped to overcome those issues.

She drank much like the cat in the first picture except she also used her paws by licking water off them.

Ed, she is still a beautiful and elegant lady after all these years.

Hi Burpee,

Yes, she is a lady though we most often refer to her as our little princess....only animal lovers would get that kind of endearment. She came into our lives because we lost a cat (Frodo) to a car. I cried like a baby when we lost him....I was the one to bury him.

When we got this one (Kisa) she was so tiny....I had to be careful not to put my slippers on without first checking as she used to curl up in the toe area, completely hidden. In my had she would fit in the cupped part when she was only 6 weeks old.

She really is a beautiful cat, 1/2 Persian and the other tabby....she has a very gentle nature about her now and the usual ailments of age but she's really in very good health and I expect she's good for a few more years with gentle care.
