A tip for living with cats.

Martin's cats have an annoying habit of drinking out of any cup left unattended.

The trick to keeping your glass of water cat-free in this house is to leave a decoy cup. In most cases this needs to be a shorter cup with a high water-level, because it is easier for them to drink out of. Cats will always take the path of least resistance. It is science.

Our cat is delicate and refined. She dips a paw in to wet it, and then licks it off. And then does it again and again until she thinks your water cup has been sufficiently contaminated.

Another tip is to leave out a glass of lemonade. It will make the cat afraid to touch any glasses for at least a little while. Plus, you get the added bonus of watching her spasm for 30 minutes.
