I’m thinking of getting an extra glass just for him. The water bowl is right next door, as I said, but this seems to be The Water of the Gods. Weird that he doesn’t use the water bowl, afaik. Perhaps he’s afraid of getting trapped in the bathroom by other cats, but he’s confident enough to be on the bed with two orientals
Beileag, one of our Skye cats, is normally also on the bed, but she runs when she sees Thomas, so it’s always just two others sharing the bed. The two boys (orientals) sit on me, and Thomas sits on Janet often. If either of the two orientals are sitting on Janet, and Thomas jumps up, then there is spitting and he runs away, frustrated, having failed to get his dose of Janet-love. Buidheag, our fifth cat, a Skye cat, is rarely seen in the bedroom. She is frightened of Thomas. Spends her time either downstairs or out hunting.
