Cat drinking my juice out of my glass!

[BrollyDolly]

Does anyone else have a cat that does this? I noticed him doing it during the night with my drink on my bedside table (apple and pear robinsons) but now he tries to do it any time with most drinks if I have them in a glass! I have resorted to drinking out of water bottles as I am sure its not good for him to drink these things.
He has also suffered before with crystals in his bladder and and now has specialist food to try and prevent it from happening again.

Just wondered if any of your cats have similar habits?!

Yup.

Three of my cats do this. And my house rabbit.

I suspect 80% of my beverages have been infiltrated with animal spit.

they like to have water left to them higher than the floor level

I once had a cat that would make a beeline for any glass of water I was drinking from, even though he had plentiful fresh supply of his own. He only started doing it in his later years, but once he discovered it there was no stopping him. He also had severe cystitis when younger, to the tune of £1000's and special diet. I think they just need to drink a lot ?

Not sure about the fruit juices, never had a cat express any interest in them.

King as I am pregnant I can't really take the chance of continuing to drink out of a glass that he may have stuck his head in! Aside from this it wouldn't really bother me as long as he wasn't getting ill!

Anti thank you for this I will give it a try. He has two water bowls (dog size) 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs and I have seen him drinking out of the one in my bedroom. He also loves to drink out of my kitchen tap which constantly drips :)

...

I put an Ikea kids plastic bowl over my glass of water to stop the cat drinking it at night. During the day he's quite shameless in trying to drink from anything sitting around rather than his own bowl.

Yes mine have their own cup in my bedroom. I put it next to the radiator to add some moisture to the air. I don't mind as it means they drink good amounts. Fatty likes the dregs of my (decaf) tea. My freinds cat's have a glass of water on the secretary's desk as they just drink her drinks if they don't!

Love the pictures. I just happened to notice the owl cup. Can I ask where you got it from as dd had one gifted to her which I broke and would like to replace

My bedside glass of water is never more than half full because of the cats - they'll occasionally jam their heads in and have a go, but they can't reach. They have a shared plastic beaker in the bathroom, conventional bowls downstairs, and a pond.

Owl mugs are from Tesco but I've had them years.

I've had to buy one of those wanky mason jars with a hole in the lid for a straw to stop the sharing. I wouldn't mind, but when Little M's finished, he swishes a paw around in it, then nudges it onto the floor.

MCat used to love coffee, I don't drink it anymore though. Much joy whenever I bought a whipped cream topped frappiccino home.

Thanks Joffrey. My cat has also tried drinking water from the glass on my bedside table. I was a bit wtf?!

My old cat used to drink coffee

Little M is completely innocent of all charges. He said you just can't remember knocking it off yourself.

I've resorted to using those mason jar drinking glasses with a screw top lid and straw as our cat is never content to drink out of her own bowl.

I too have an adult version of a sippy cup. This was a cocktail!

I used to have pet rats who when let out for a run, often used to sit on my shoulder and drink wine out of my glass oh and grab any bits of food I was holding

If I can gatecrash a cat thread

I don't have a cat but my dog regularly drinks from mugs and glasses. His favourite is coffee but also loves water with ice cubes in a glass.

@LoveMySituation
I had a rat who had a favourite brand of lager. And he would do ANYTHING to get a sniff of Baileys!

You're right Toddler. He maintains I am mistaken, and that a sheep broke in and did it.

Wolfie, they're all secret alcoholics What was the brand, out of interest?! Guess the urban legend about rats exploding if they drink fizzy drinks is wrong

And he's quite right Mantra.
