My cat doesn't get a choice - if shes that thirsty she can drink whats in her bowl, know what you mean about the yowling though! Cats can be trained actually it's just a lot harder and has to be done differently. You can always buy a small water fountain - they exist specifically for this reason! Many cats will only drink from running or moving water. I had to buy heavy feeding bowls because mine would knock the bowl all over the place to make it move.

Naughty pussy.

This sounds like my cat. Well, you know how the story goes - give a cat some food and water and they think they're God.

My dog won't wake up, eat or shit unless I tell it to. Get a dog.

You totally deserved it. Give your cat a bowl of water, and the cheapest canned cat food you can find, and whenever kitty whines, pick it up and place it by the food and water.

Very true about all pets throwing tantrums. Both huskies I've had are/were great at it. My cats more give me judgemental looks when they want something. But huskies are known for vocal tantrums and it is pretty funny. I do think part of training any animal though, is training ourselves as well. While teaching them, I had to learn to watch for what they were saying with their actions. And just like with kids, I think you have to learn to pick your battles.

Ya dogs are way better. I hate cats

I wonder how do cat soup taste :-)

That is how the human-cat relationship has always been. Humans have been the subservient ones since the times of Ancient Egypt, when Catkind first domesticated human beings and taught us to worship them.

You're that pussy's bitch
