Cats - gotta love 'em.

One of ours figured out how to get himself a drink from the Hinckley-Schmidt water dispenser. He would always run up whenever we'd use it, and reach up to get the last few drops that would fall. We watched him paw at the little spigot handle over a couple of weeks. He first pulled it down with his teeth, and then figured out how to pull it down with his paw.

Another cat is especially fond of the electric cat fountain we have. We usually turn it off if we are going to be out of the house. For the last couple of weeks, we come home to find that he has pulled to top off the fountain to get to the water reservoir. He likes his fountain so much he would rather drink the water from it even when it is turned off, than from the bowl of water that we keep in the kitchen.

Clever little buggers.
