Actually, he prefers the orange bucket and usually stands on his hind legs with his front paws on the rim to drink. But when the water was an inch or two below the rim, he got inventive.
It's a good thing the gray bucket was full of water or it might have turned over and dumped him into the orange water bucket. Silly cat.
But because I love him, I'm going to let him answer the Friendly Fill-ins today.
1 – I can’t wait to have both my people home to pet me on Thanksgiving.
2 – I am thankful for a warm home, plenty of food, and all the water I can drink.
3 – When it comes to pie, I'll let my human mom and dad have it all.
4 – A feast is not a feast without lots of leftovers.

What a boy! He really has become a great pet!
ReplyDeleteYes he has. I don't know what I'd do without him.
DeleteMarti,
ReplyDeleteNow, that is one clever kitty! I'm thankful for the basics of life and then some. God is truly good to me! Have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday. I don't know where the time has gone, do you?
Yes he is. I think time goes by faster with each passing year, just when I thought it would slow down after the kids left home.
DeleteBuddy is doing it his way and you're smart to let him. So cute. He also answered all the questions very well.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Feline Friday, Buddy. My best to your peeps. ♥
This water must taste better to him than our filtered or tap water.
DeleteHi Buddy and Marti!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me today.
Buddy you are a most handsome feline
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. I have never been called handsome before. You should see me in a tie though. I've heard I clean up well.
DeleteThank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. That was a clever way to get a drink :) Buddy, I am glad you have a loving home. I hope you get some turkey on Thanksgiving. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope turkey is on the menu too, along with fish.
DeleteThat is a great picture of Buddy doing things his way.
ReplyDeleteCats know what they want and it doesn't take them long to figure out how to get it.
I sometimes hear him climbing the ladder and wonder what he is doing. By the time I get over to the ladder, he is on the way down. But you're right, he figures out how to get what he wants.
DeleteSounds like Buddy has lots of choices. I think our cat Rosie would go with bucket, too.
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely more water there. Maybe it stays cooler than a small bowl.
DeleteCats are sometimes too clever for their own good. Great answers on the fill-ins!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Those were fun fill ins, especially from the cat's view.
DeleteYep, Buddy is definitely a cat. Never do things the easy way, especially around water.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it has anything to do with his life as a feral cat before we adopted him. I'm sure he drank out of any container he could find back then.
DeleteLeftovers are definitely a plus. I keep hoping my peeps will give me so much turkey on Thanksgiving that there won't be leftovers but they laugh at me.
ReplyDeleteWalk softly, my friend. Unless you have a bell on your collar, you might get to eat all you want. Best of luck, Buddy.
DeleteIsn't it strange (and wondrous in it's way) how pets decide what works for them. Hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteIt is. Makes me wonder how their minds work.
DeleteGreat answers, Buddy ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteThanks Pixie!
DeleteI think it sounds like you're a very blessed kitty. Be careful balancing on those buckets. They can be very dangerous. I think it is great that you love to drink water. I'll gladly give you mine. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend and a very Happy Thanksgiving!
When he was perfecting his technique, he often lost his balance and had a foot in one of the water buckets. The buckets are back in their normal places now and I think he misses the challenge.
DeleteNice one :D
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteHappy Wednesday <3
DeleteMOL Buddy, that water stance is quite something! Very creative!
ReplyDeletePurrs & Head Bonks,
Tucker
Thank you Tucker. I've been working hard to perfect my stance. Buddy
DeleteMarti: Buddy is adorable, my Blondie would do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteCatherine
Aren't they funny!
DeleteMarti - I know of many cats that like other sources of water - our neighbor's cat will jump up on a bathroom sink and wait for it to be filled! Our 2 furbabies are pretty boring in this regard, although they do like to dip their paws in the water dish and lick the water off their paws - which means there is usually some cat litter in the bottom of the bowl. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Buddy likes drinking out of a lot of different things, like the pond and the horse tank. But this seems to be a lot of effort to get a drink of water.
DeleteSometimes you just have to make drinking water extra fun, don't you, Buddy? And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! We bet you can't wait to spend Thanksgiving with both of your humans. It's the perfect day for family and food. Purrs!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's it. Buddy has been helping me cook today. He likes being the taste tester for chicken soup.
DeleteInventive kitty! Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThat he is.
