[1] [2]“Sean, come here,” said Spring [3] from the kitchen. Upon entering
the kitchen, Spring was pointing to a blue plastic bowl sitting on the handle
of a pot, propped up by a plastic container. “Look what Spodie did!” Spodie
being the cat here at Condo Conner.

Spodie won't drink out of a water bowl; he only drinks out of containers that
he's normally not allowed to drink out of. So we leave a bowl of water in the
sink for him. Our logic—that he thinks he's drinking out of something he's
not supposed to (but lately he's been drinking out of the shower stall so go
figure). As to the plastic bowl we leave for him in the sink? He'll empty the
water out and place it somewhere in the kitchen.

His skills, they are improving. Maybe one day he'll be able to cook for us.
