Simba is afraid of his new water dish!

[catsrule]

I bought him a new stainless steel water dish, and he is terrified of it. He was sitting in the middle of the kitchen staring at it in the corner, then he slowing slunk away backwards. Then he came back again, hissing at it (you know what I mean, Shep) and backing away from it again. I had to get another bowl out and fill it with water so he would drink.

Do you think he suspects that it is really a DOG dish?

 

[kejoda]

Yes MY cat is smart! Or he could see himself and get confused.

 

[shep]

He probaly thinks it isn't sanitary..
(insert cat noises here)

 

[helenabear]

LOL And I thought my cats were silly You ought to get Simba a cat fountain like my babies have. They love it and love to play with the trickling water

 

[catsrule]

Maybe he is seeing himself and thinks it is an enemy invading his territory. Cali wasn't afraid of it, she went right up to it, but then she isn't afraid of anything.

Simba is wuss boy. But I love him anyway.

 

[catsrule]

Cat fountain! I will have to check this out!

 

[helenabear]

I'll warn you they aren't cheap but it beats being bugged in the bathroom by Gwen when she wanted to drink from the faucet

 

[catsrule]

Simba and Cali don't drink from the faucet, although Cali did try to drink from the toilet, so all lids must stay down.

 

[shep]

always make sure you flush when you're done too..

 

[helenabear]

Neither have tried to drink from the toilet, but I admit Gwen did fall in a few times while jumping to the sink to get a drink. I don't think I've seen a toilet lid up in about a year or so now

 

[catsrule]

Simba thinks his belly is melting if he gets a drop of water on him.

I always flush, sometimes even for DH.....

Now, no complaining tomorrow about bad sleep..

 

[catsrule]

YAY for tidbits....

My kitties use the drinkwell water fountain (actually one cat and my dog LOL). My older cat just doesn't get it, she tries hard to like it but chickens out and goes to her non-moving water.

Mental note for next D,RMD epic

Simba is afraid of his new water dish!

OMG. Catsrule!! You're not going to believe this but I bought a stainless steel dish for my kitties a month ago. I was so surprised when they rarely drank out of it. I just changed back to their favorite bowl.....an ABC bowl that used to belong to my DS when he was a toddler!! Crazy cats!!!

That was what I was thinking when I read this. I bet he thinks another Wuss boy is gonna win mama's heart.

I think Simba needs to stop staying up so late watching all those horror movies, his mind is playing tricks with him!!

 

[catsrule]

UPDATE: Well, I stood by the water dish and he hesitantly came over, stuck his paw in it, licked it, and then took a few licks of it. As soon as I walked away from it, he fled it and looked back at it and growled at it.

Maybe he thinks it is a flying saucer from an ememy planet.
