My cat lived at my parents house because he was born there and I lived a lot of places where I couldn?t have a pet, so he just stayed there. Like your cat, Simba would only drink from the faucet. He refused to have anything to do with a water bowl, even after my sister bought him one of those fancy water dishes that has a built in fountain. He got quite bitchy if he wanted water, and the faucet wasn't turned on quickly enough. When His Excellency was about 10 years old, my parents got a gigantic Great Pyrenees dog. 140lb dog. Huge. Simba DESPISED her. One day, he realized that if he drank her water, it would upset her. From that day on, he would drink only the dog's water. Wasn't interested in the faucet at all. An interesting side note: The dog's food dish had magical qualities. Simba was a picky eater, and didn't like a lot of things. Especially beef. He hated beef in any form and refused to eat any beef given him, even beef-flavored cat food. Hated it! If you put pieces of steak in his bowl, he'd complain while making motions with his front paw like he was trying to bury it. Like poop. After the dog arrived, Simba began stealing any good food (real meat) placed in her bowl, even going so far as to attack her while she ate so he could drive her off and take her food! Yes, this enormous dog let my fat old DECLAWED cat kick her ass and steal her food. All the time. One Thanksgiving day, my family decided to have steaks instead of turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Simba was known to hate beef, so the scraps were placed in the dog's bowl. Simba went to the dog bowl and ate the beef, every piece, WITH ENTHUSIASM. I thought maybe he had decided he liked beef. So, I put more in his bowl, and HE TRIED TO BURY IT. Ok, so I put it in the dog's bowl, and that cat ran over there and ATE IT ALL. The dog bowl had magical qualities. It turned even the most revolting things into delicious cat food!
