So we keep a jug of water on the bench by the kettle and bottle maker. You're supposed to feed the bottle maker boiled water that has cooled, hence the jug. I was in the kitchen cooking lunch when I saw the cat jump on the bench and start drinking from the jug. Doing my best not to think of the greater implications of this.

I used to leave a glass of water on the coffee table for my kid when he was a toddler, until I caught the cat drinking out of it one day. Gawd knows how long that had been going on for.

Kickstarting the Tinykid's immune system. Has clearly survived so far so all good.

Just like the time Allie Cat jumped on the table and started licking my ear buds πŸ€ͺ

!! A childhood cat was utterly obsessed with earwax. You’d wake up with her giving you a good clean out. Weirdest echoey scraping sound.

Don't ask me how I know this but most cats actually love earwax. It's even more addictive than Churu for some.

Presumably you don’t have a glass coffee table
