Communication by a cat

When the bowl is half full Boobear uses her paw to get water LOL ~~ I took this shot a couple years ago

Is there any doubt what Boobear is telling me? And of course the bowl is half empty rather than half full, right? Why do cats always do that? Yes, yes, yes I threw that water out and put fresh water in. I am well trained you know

Thank you, she is tiny as well, only about 5 or so pounds. Let me guess, Garfield is an orange tabby and fairly big, right?

They have their ways. Preiti wanted something that we were having for breakfast. She goes to her empty bowl and bangs it making a noise. Pets know how to communicate provided we understand them. I do.

Yeah, she is demanding when it comes to either food or water, half full to her is half empty and that's just unacceptable.

When I give my cat new water she watches me while I fill it up and then when she wants to drink she sticks her paw in it and drinks. Why do cats put their paws in the water?

I have no idea why they do that but maybe it has to do with the size of the bowl and when the water level is lower than they would like because of their whiskers which they use to gage spaces when they are trying to fit in things.

You are welcome @Hannihar but I was only guessing. Mother Nature gave cats a lot of help to gage distances, they have feeler hairs and whiskers all over their legs, tails and head to help them navigate through underbrush or even small spaces under a porch, without those hairs or whiskers they could end up getting stuck somewhere and that is not a good thing.

@rebelann Thank you rebelann for explaining that to me. I often wondered why she did that.
