You sure got that superpower comment right. Our Marie used to get a drink from their water bowl in the kitchen. Then a couple months ago Paula was sitting on the edge of her bed drinking a bottle of water. Marie jumped up beside her and started nosing the bottom of the bottle. Paula held the bottle down beside Marie and pinched it to bring the water level up to the top. Marie drank and drank for a long time. Now that is the only way she will drink water. She sits on Paula's bed off and on all day and screams at us until one of us takes her a bottle of warer. Sophie won't eat unless I put her food bowl on the window ledge in my sewing room. Marie won't eat unless I put her bowl on a kitchen chair or if she is on Paula's bed I can sometimes get her to eat there. Callie eats in the laundry room then races to try and get the other two girls' food. They are sll sooo goofy.
Oh my goodness that is funny about Marie. If you haven't tried it, maybe sometime when she screams like that, take a bottle and a bowl with you and show her that water from the bottle is going into the bowl. Maybe she'll go back to the bowl. But yes, our cats are smart and know how to get what they want. You got to love them though. Thanks for sharing your story Margaret.
