“No Tabby.”
“Something wrong Mrs. Human?”
“Take your head out of that bucket, it is full of dirty water.”
“Ah, another “no” from my human slave. Of course the water is not dirty. It is the best water I have tasted for a long while. It has a distinct aroma.”
“Yes Tabby, a stinky aroma, left behind by the builders.”
“What nice humans they are. They realise the needs of a feline. I must say it has a distinct flavour of something completely different.”
“Mrs. Human what are you doing?”
“I am pouring the water down the drain where it belongs.”
“Typical. If you had a spark of feline intelligence you would bottle it for future use.”
“Definitely not Tabby. I am just a silly stupid human that does not like to see the feline of the family drinking bad water.”
“I found it quite tasty, although I have not yet been able to define the taste. It is something between rare, and vintage.”
“Tabby you have a bowl of fresh water next to your food and a bowl of water outside, especially for you. You have to go next door and drink water.”
“Mrs. Human the water on the other side of the fence always tastes better. It has a different colour shade to my normal water, much darker. It even has things floating in it for extra flavour. It is definitely the flavour of the month. I must return tomorrow to see if they have replaced it. It is the essence that hairballs are made of.”
“Yes Tabby, I am sure.”
Dear Tabby, I also appreciate water from other places. I like puddles very much and was recently able to savor the water coming down from the mountains to a place called the Sand Dunes. Delicious! Yours forever and ever, Dusty T Dog

There is nothing like water that has character, but Mrs. Human finds that some characters are unwanted. She says when the painters leave a bucket of water for a day, then it is not the best water to drink. One of those feline-human misunderstandings. Her water from the tap has no natural aroma at all.

Mrs. Human said something like that, but everything is now fine. I manufactured a hairball afterwards.

Considering some of the terrible things humans drink, you’d think they’d let US get a good splash of something yummy. But no, it has to be “FRESH.” Humans. And THEY drink COKE.

Tabby doesn’t drink coke, but he loves to lick out his dish of tuna and often leaves the fish, but the juice is always gone. What happened to Tabby after his drink of left over vintage water I will not repeat, and luckily I did not have to clear it up afterwards. Mr. Swiss took care of it.
