My beloved cat friend, Jack, passed early this year. He was amazing. A highland lynx, absolutely massive, and clumsy as they come. He would only drink water from one of these for years, but refused to ever stick his face in it. He was a polydactyl, meaning he had giant enormous feet with extra toes. He could cup his paws like hands, and would scoop water from the basin (not the stream), and drink from it like some kind of royalty.

His paws were constantly wet, and our home always had cat paw prints on the floor, and I miss that so much.

I am outraged at the lack of photo evidence of how Bucky drinks water

I don’t know about anyone else, but I gave up on these water fountain style bowls ages ago. They’re always made out of plastic and they always grow nasty shit in them and they are super hard to clean. Then if you scratch the plastic while cleaning it it just grows even more stuff the next time and you end up in a vicious cycle. 😩

I’m back to plain old porcelain bowls from the pet store

I babysat our old neighbor’s cat a couple of times while she was out of town. Said cat would only drink water from a pitcher placed under the leaky bathtub faucet and was constantly angry at the drops on her head. Cats are very clever idiots.

Bro needs a wide bowl. If their whiskers touch anything they would rather die than drink.

The pattern on Buky’s face is almost exactly the same as my cat except mirrored 😅

Aw damn. I hate cats, but found this hilarious. Also made me miss my cay that just died…

Best webcomic I’ve read in a while. The intrinsic hilarity of the situation was ridiculously refreshing compared to the usual ‘straining to come up with something funny / clever.’
