My cat's name has changed from "Hank" to RK. (Road Kill) Too much turkey?
Before anyone accuses me of animal abuse, I've had him (rescued him) for 14 or more years. He has FIV (feline aids) and was in a cage at DD's vet hospital for 4 months before I said to bring him home. He's a neighborhood favorite and had claimed or rural road (I'd look out my window and see car brake lights come on when there was nothing to slow for - except Hank).
Never been sick a day, never lost an ounce either tho we are very careful with this "delicate" kitty's health. He doesn't just lie around. he "flows" over a surface!
Anyway, just had to share and his unique method of drinking!
...And what Clyde thinks of it!

Cats can't see still water so they often feel it first. Mine weren't drinking enough so I bought a water fountain. All 5 love to drink from it- of course it has a filter and is ceramic because plastic gave one of mine acne of all things. They eat out of crystal bowls but simply because some one should use them and we don't :)

Oh thank goodness!!!!
No, I didn't think you had a pic of a dead cat- I just thought that was him before.
I'm so glad he's doing fine!
Kitsie, you are a very special person to take that little guy into your home and heart :D:D
HUGS, Sue
