Life is hard and it sucks. Maybe I should buy the chocolate toothpaste and keep it next to my bed.
Edit: Oh. I think I've worked out the random crying from kitty. To be fair this is new behaviour (normally she never meows) and a new request. She was asking me to turn the shower on for a second so she could lick up the water droplets afterward.
She kept crying for refills so there is now a flat baking tray filled with water sitting in my shower
Cats (and dogs) are weirdos. Furry little weirdos.
I think itβs like raindrops in the wild
Toe jam rain drops. Yum!
Honestly a bit worried about her health with mould and any residual detergent (especially on occasions of using tea tree shampoo) but cats gonna cat
Edit: I did previously buy her a cheapie water fountain but she ignored it
My dog has cleaned up the shower floor for us forever. Apart from deadly farts when she eats bread crusts, she's happy and healthy. I do make sure the door stays shut after cleaning, until someone showers next, just in case. And we have 5 water bowls inside, two outside and a fountain.
Ahh, a closed door wouldn't stand... one of her litterboxes is in there. Squeegees aren't good on tiles but I'll consider getting better about wiping the shower dry afterwards with the towel, using any medicated shampoos over the sink when needed and (while unhygienic) adding a third water bowl in the bathroom.
