An Abyssinian Looked Up From the Puddle She Made and Asked for Help

AI imageabyssinianwater bowlkitchen floor

Water spreads in a shining puddle across the floor, and a ruddy Abyssinian sits beside the tipped metal bowl, gazing upward with bright green eyes. Her copper coat looks almost wet itself, her ears are alert, and her paws are neatly together on the damp tile. A laundry basket, a pair of jeans, and a desk with cords sit behind her. She has the hopeful look of a cat who would like to be rescued from her own splash.

Abyssinians are lively, curious cats with a lean build and an interest in everything. They love to climb, explore, and play with water, so a water bowl can easily become a toy. A heavy ceramic bowl or a bowl with a non-slip base can cut down on spills, and a pet water fountain can satisfy a cat who likes moving water. Fresh water is important for health, so keep her bowl clean and full. If she seems to be drinking far more than usual, talk to your vet. Plenty of play time with a wand toy will help keep her paws out of the bowl.

She seems to be saying that the bowl tipped on its own. The mop will be needed, and the floor will dry. But the sparkle in her eyes suggests the next water adventure is already being planned.
