Never ever have I seen Henry drink out of his water bowl.  I replenish it not just daily but several times a day when I pass it.  I have also tried leaving it for longer because I thought he might like it when it has been standing for a while.  I’ve tried serving him in glasses or coffee mugs but he ignores them.

What he does though, is jump onto the kitchen sink and he drinks from whatever has been standing in the sink.  Since I caught him doing this I’ve been tampering with possible flavours but he drinks whether the mug had coffee in it or was clean before, whether it is a rinsed beer glass or a measuring jug with beaten egg stuck to the sides. He seems to be doing it just because. He is a cat, after all.

And quite uncharacteristically, my husband said: “At least, he drinks SOMETHING.”
