My cat Lilly used to do that when she was a kitten... until she actually fell into the toilet

seems the involuntary bath was enough to keep her from doing that again for the rest of her life (she's 15 now and I've never again seen her drinking out of the toilet)

I have an adorable orange tabby cat and he is getting a bit older and he is hilarious because of how mean he is to everyone except my family he is an attack cat and lashes out and attacks things that scare him but otherwise he is the sweetest cat imaginable and no one ever believes me because they are terrified of him!

We have two kitty cats, Socks and Adam. One of them is busy meowing at me as I type this <3
We've always had cats, ever since I can remember and I will always have them in my life :)
I've only ever owned 4 cats during my life, first one was called Miss Muffet and she had kidney and liver failure if I remember correctly. Back in the day the food that you got at the supermarkets weren't at all good for them :c
Second cat was called Sally and she was left by our neighbors :/ She was really timid and afraid of almost everybody.

I've had pets almost all my life, and had many pets in my life. Most notable have been the cats. At the moment I only have one cat, a solid black Maine Coon(also called an American Longhair in some places) mix named Sebastian. I had two, but last year my 12 year old cat Pouncer passed away. He was very special to me as he was with me through my dad's passing and all the moving we did afterwards. I volunteer at an animal shelter on Saturdays and I've been waiting for kitten season which is finally here. I'll be able to get a new kitten for Sebastian to play and bond with. Sabby (his nickname, whole story about that later) is very sweet and friendly and never seems to have an issue with other animals, so I'm not too worried about his reaction once I get around to introducing the two cats to each other.

Growing up, I went through 9 dogs, 2 cats, 30 goats, a goldfish, and I forget how many chickens and guineas. My husband and I have tried fish, but we need to research PH balances a bit more. We had a gecko, and it ran away one day to live happily somewhere in the yard for a few years. We tried a mouse, but I think it was sick because it died fast. At present, we own one small dog. Someday, I want to get another cat again. I'd love a Maine Coon, but I'd be fine with a tabby cat or especially a calico. And I'm thinking about getting a ferret too.

this is off topic, but just now there was a guy running amok in the city I live in... I just can't believe it. around 50 people hurt and 2-3 dead (although this still has not yet been confirmed)...

The reason I suggested a lighter topic like pets was so I wouldn't have to read stuff like that. No offense but please keep to just talking about pets?

@Cecona
never mind then, I just wanted to get this out of my system... this was probably not the right place to do so.
so, back to them furry friends...

It's okay Aomame.
I wish my cat would just purr in my ear to wake me up, instead I get claws kneading into my flesh and a rough tongue searching for my face under the blankets.

I have a pet dog called Buster.
He was originally was going to be my cousins dog but he grew too big whilst he was a puppy and they couldn't keep him.
Growing up buster was trouble, he used to wee everywhere and pull our clothe off our clothes line.
To stop him from releasing himself on the deck we used this citrus spay, which dogs aren't supposed to like ... He loved it and would roll in it...
to this day he releases himself on the deck, no matter what we did to stop him.
To stop him from taking our clothes of the line was a hard one, we were stumped!But one day we spoke to someone and they said to try and tie bells around the clothes line. So then, when he pulled the clothes the bells would ring and scare him! It worked too!!
