Water? What is this madness?

[jesso]

My cats are so spoiled.

catmean gave me a kitty water fountain a while back, sometime last year. I've been using it since then, and both cats love it. Hawking has never had to drink from anything else since I brought her home, except when she drinks from a faucet.

Today when I went to refill it, I noticed the inside was looking kind of icky, so I hauled the whole thing into the bathroom and gave it a good rinse. I'm letting it dry out now, so I can give it a good cleaning later. In the meantime, I've filled a bowl with water and set it down where the fountain usually sits.

Oh my goodness, you'd think I was trying to poison them.

They are both deeply suspicious of it. Hawking keeps sniffing at it, then giving me these looks like she's saying "What the heck? What is this crap?". Tesla just won't go near it.

Then I slipped two small ice cubes in it. Ohhhhh man, that did not go over well. I didn't see it happen, but I think Hawking tried to attack them. All I know is that the ice cubes are not in the bowl anymore and there is a lot of water splashed around the bowl on the floor.

My cats, they are so special.

Have you ever seen those motorized, self-cleaning litter boxes? My parent's had one and one of their cats hated the thing. Everytime the box cleaned itself, the cat would run in and beat the crap out of it. He actually broke the thing.
