A Yorkie and a Blue-Gray Cat Drink From the Same Steel Bowl

AI imageyorkshire terrierbritish shorthairwater bowl

A shiny steel water bowl sits on a woven mat, and two thirsty housemates have arrived at the same time. A small Yorkshire Terrier with a steel-blue coat and tan face laps eagerly, his tongue out. Right beside him, a plump blue-gray cat with big amber eyes leans in from the other side, whiskers almost touching the water. A basket of clothes, a stack of cloth and a rustic doorframe fill the corner of the room. It looks like the best part of the day.

Fresh water is essential for both cats and dogs, and many pets prefer a wide, shallow bowl. Cats in particular can be picky, and some prefer to drink away from their food. Yorkshire Terriers are small, bold dogs, and a sturdy bowl keeps them from tipping it over. Wash bowls daily to keep them clean, and consider having more than one water station if you have several pets. If you notice a sudden change in how much your pet drinks, talk to your vet, as that can be an early sign that something needs attention.

There is no rivalry in this scene, only a shared bowl and a matching thirst. The Yorkie slurps, the cat sips and the bowl is big enough for both. It's a little everyday scene that says a lot about how comfortable the two are with each other.
