It's helpful in a way. Not even going to say that it always goes smoothly, though. That would be a massive lie. -laughs-

The water thing totally sounds like the cats. Some of them get it, some of them don't, despite none of them being babies anymore.

Yeah, it sounds like the puppy managed to get over his phobia so he could drink properly.
Probably took him some trial and error to get it right.
It just turned out one of my banks had been quietly stealing my money for half a year, for a total of, I kid you not, $130. No, there are no zeros missing. Class action lawsuits are not a thing in Russia, so it's, like, free money times number of clients = impressive. Except all my retirement funds have been with them, too. Obviously, starting tomorrow they no longer will be. I don't even.

Our cat couldn't drink from a regular water bowl because he always stuck his nose underwater. He didn't get that he shouldn't do that, so we had to get him a fountain. It seems as though he's finally figured it out after 15 years, though, cause he sure as hell drinks from the dog's drinking bowl. Maybe he even learned from watching the dog.

Our cat has always been a bit "special". When we first got him as a kitten he would have consistent problems with depth perception and often end up walking to walls, doors, or anything else. When it came to the water bowl, it was clear that he couldn't see the water line so he'd slowly lower his nose into the bowl and then decide that there isn't any water before dunking his face in it and being surprised that there now is water in the bowl.

He is a resilient cat though, he's the only moggie out of 5 that has survived a car.
Good evening everyone *big hugs and waves*

Finally home from university...took quite a bit longer than expected. Hope you're all doing fine - cannot say the same for me unfortunately as i'm currently having a really nasty headache...

Hey there, good evening. =)

Sounds like, unless he thinks that rules are different for the dog's bowl and his own.
Or, maybe he always knew and wanted to sucker you into getting him the nice fountain add-on. -laughs-

The latter sounds like cat behaviour :P

Yep...they know how to get things :)

Hey - well i hope so. I took an aspirine - which i usually don't like to do but the headache's really nasty at the moment.
How are you doing? Any improvements temperature-wise?

Oh and have you beaten Shadow of Mordor?

Sorry to hear that. It sucks taking pills because you have to. But at least now it might help with the pain.

Can't complain here. It's still hot as hell, but I know I've still got at least 7 more weeks of that bullshit.

Almost. Every side thing has been done for the hunting missions, which I'm not doing because I refuse to wander aimlessly around the map hoping for monsters to randomly spawn.
Think I've got two more mini-bosses to deal with, then it'll be the end-game story mission stuff.
After that, it's the two DLC things and I'm done.

Yeah, usually they manage to adapt to problems quite well. Our cat only goes outside in our garden, so luckily we haven't had any car-related incidents.

Good evening to you too! How are you doing?

Yeah, or he learned how to drink water from a bowl just to spite the dog by drinking from her bowl ... He likes to wash his feet in her water bowl as well, just to make a point. And yep, he's definitely a luxury-cat, so there might be some truth to that. For instance, he'll only beg for our expensive meat, not for the cheap stuff. :P
