Further observations on the oddities of my cat

[cl0ckw0rkf0x]

He drinks black tea and plays fetch, and there's a new thing.

He's always had this odd preference for water he perceives to be fresh. You can take the water from his dish and pour it in a glass and put it down for him, and he'll drink that, but he doesn't want it from a dish, and he doesn't want it if he knows it's been sitting there more than a few minutes. He especially likes it if you hold the glass for him. Put a glass of water on the floor and hold a glass of water for him, and even if he sees both at the same time, he wants the glass you're holding. Only thing better than a glass you're holding for him, is a glass you're pouring, but once the water's in his dish, it's no good anymore. Getting them a water fountain with a filter and all has not helped.

Anyway, second part of this backstory: we got spray bottles to spray the cats with water when they're bad. I know, you see where this is going:

How often do you change the water in the fountain, and how often do you change the filter in the fountain?

Jojo used to dump her water bowl if I didn't give her fresh water 2x a day. Since the fountain she's down to 1x a day but she demands it be fresh, not left over night.

So cute! So Pooka's punishment ends up being a reward then?
