Thirsty Bianca


Thirsty Bianca

Always quick to find anything freshly filled with water, but her face doesn;t fit into the watering can, takes a long tongue. It the waters too far, she'll dip a toe. I don't fertilize so the water is safe.

This is exactly what our oldest cat does - he's a flippin' pest when you're filling the watering cans! You have to fill the smaller one right to the v. v. top & leave it so he can drink (& drink & drink). The bigger can has a handle across the top like yours so he can only get his paw in (it's a v. large paw as he's a big cat - used to weigh 8kgs until old age began to get the better of him).
He also likes to drink out of our tiny bird bath (which is actually a plant pot saucer with a piece of Derbyshire stone in for the birds to sit on) - the other day I could see him waiting patiently next to it & when I went to see what the problem was there was a frog sitting in the water - I had to leave them to it because I can't stand frogs!

I love seeing her poking her faces into these cans...lol. They do love fresh water.

I was thinking after seeing your birdbath Twiggy to try that myself, but bianca would be out gaudring it from birds all day every day. Not sure I'll do it. :-)

Well it's an odd thing - neither Busby or Chutney ever catch any birds from the bird bath (perhaps some things are sacrosanct) - plenty from everywhere else plus the odd mouse though! :))

That is good Twiggy. Bianca doesn't vatvh them almost ever but she would creep up and sit next the the bath just waiting and the birds would never show. :-) Or fill the trees and yell at her all day.

Lol....Binaca does that alot, if the tongue doesn;t reach. I think it is just adorable! I hope she gets to Yoda's ripe old age, 20 is one old cat. :-)

Yes she is old..she is happy right now..as she gets to share the laundry room with 2 guinea pigs of my daughters and keeps watch over them diligently....lol..she is not a family, or dog friendly cat...so is quite happy with her space.

Catfinch - my cat is called Chewbacca - sounds like a good match with yours!

I call her "Cranky Tail"..lol...it fits her well..and yes they could have been in Star Wars..together..lol

26 Sep, 2009

 

Cranky Tail....lol. Sounds so cute. :-)

Yes Louise, the white stuff has come. She did just pout that day, now she's out watching it all from under the house, she must have a cozy spot. She only stops going out when its 0F or below. She'll sniff the cold air and then turn her head like, 'euw!'
