[AGL] if you need to waste some time

[Michael Eisenstadt]

connie,

Can you teach an old cat new trix?

Experiment: put a wide bowl on the shower drain forcing Chico
to drink from the bowl. And again. And again. Move bowl with
water in it outside the shower. When Chico is thirsty, walk Chico
over to the bowl, holding him by his legs and walking him there.
Say "Nice Chico, Chico drink from the bowl from the shower."

Oncet, I had to board Cissy Alex's cat Chairman Meow for a 
week while Cissy was out of town on business. Chairman
Meow had been trained or discovered on his own that he 
could do his business in the tub rather than in a kitty litter
box. Our cat, Hermes Zeitschrift fuer klassische Philologie,
Hermes for short, saw Chairman Meow doing his business
and decided not to use the kitty litter box anymore and do
it Chairman Meow style henceforth. His decision. So we got to get
rid of a potentially smelly kitter litter box disposing of waste
with a piece of toilet paper.

just my 2 cents

  cool pad

  I have a cat that will only drink from a running shower - very annoying to have to get up and turn the shower on for the kittys' long drink.  He comes out very wet, but he does actually drink from the puddle formed near the drain, not from water pouring over his head.  Chico is a Bengal, and the breed does not mind getting wet or might even go for a swim (sorta). The cat of this clip could be a bengal.

  thanks, enjoyed it
  C
