Kitteh Antics
The antics of cats never end. Never. Sometimes I feel like a have a household of children rather than cats. With three cats of my own, three foster cats, and one stray outside I am trying to befriend (to put up for adoption), I feel like they have a plot of domination over me.
So, now, new kitteh antics have emerged. They have started hauling their toys everywhere. I mean everywhere. On the tables, on the bed, under the bed, in the bathtub (which I have to remove when I go to take a shower or bath), in the sink, and--get this--in their water bowls.
What is up with putting their toys into the water bowls? Every morning and evening I am removing drowned toys. It is kinda gross with the fur covered toys as it looks like a dead mouse. If the cats are trying to give me a hint to buy them a kitteh pool for the summer, they are sadly mistaken that I will comply.
So, last night, one of the cats decides to pee into the water bowl. Yeah, just like a typical kid in a pool.
But I am still not buying them a kitteh pool.

Oh, LOL, literally. Too funny!!! *wipes tears of laughter from eyes* Kittehs are so entertaining. :) I think water-logged cat toys are much better than actual dead mice, or stepping in something gray and cold and damp like a recently yorked up hairball.
Peeing in the water bowl may be a sign of some sort of power struggle between the cats or a stressed kitty. I would recommend lowering the number of cats in the household.
Miz Minka,
Yes, I will take water-logged cat toys over actual dead mice (which I have stepped on) or cold and damp hairball (also stepped on).
Aydin,
I think the peeing is probably territorial as well. Probably wanted to piss off (literally) the other cats. Lowering the cat density is on my agenda--but for now, the rescue organization is in a real bind so I am trying to make the best of things.
