I'm innocent I tell ya

Our little pound kitty has turned into a regular diva.  She has (quite by accident) acquired a taste for bottled water.  It happened innocently, really.  Our water dispenser is by her bread machine nest (see photos in Kitzilla's Nest ((Time..Schedules..etc))).  Whenever anyone goes near the water dispenser, she is there…nose and all…wanting to see the water flowing.  At first, this fascination with water was amusing; after all cats and water!  She is not your typical cat—she doesn’t run from the water, she runs to it!  While washing dishes, she jumps on the counter to watch me.  I thought if I gave her a bath in there (I washed all the dishes first!), it would deter her.  Who knew she’d love it! 

Any who, this morning I poured myself a large glass of water to take my morning pill.  I set it down to attend to my (ahem) morning routine.  By the time I got back to the kitchen, the kitten was on the counter with nose in MY water glass!  I grabbed it and hissed at her (kitten language for “mine”) and took my drink into the family room.  I was about to take a sip when a thought hit me: did she already take a swig?  Oh well, cats are fairly clean, right?  I was about to drink and then remembered where I saw the kitty before I went to the bathroom.  She had taken care of her morning constitutional and was on the printer cleaning herself….you know where!!!!  Yuck, yuck, pooey, I was most definitely NOT going to drink after her.  Note to self: only pour enough water to take pill in morning and then buy one of those water bottle helmets so you can keep your water on you…literally!  I checked some out.  Aren’t they cute?

All of this rambling is to remind myself to get in more water before the kitty does.  I have gotten lax about it.  How about you?  Are you drinking enough water?  If you come to my house, be sure to bring your own water helmet or for goodness sake, hold your water glass wherever you go.  Kitzilla is on the loose!

She is quick.

 Before you know it...

P.S.  Even after telling Hubby about my blog topic this morning and asking him to fetch some water so I could catch Kitzilla in action for a photo op, he STILL forgot.  Guess who set his water down on the counter and walked over to watch me type....and guess who helped herself to the freshly dispensed water!  Yep, she's quick!
