Dec 6

I adopted a stray cat and he will ONLY drink from a running faucet. I decided this is ridiculous, put out bowls of water and refused to turn the tap on. But then I would turn on the faucet to wash my hands or to do some dishes and he could come out of a DEEP SLEEP and barrel up to the kitchen counter, knocking everything over in his way. He was so FRANTIC to get a drink I was concerned he would be dehydrated so I gave in.
