Most cats drink water from a bowl.

That would be too conventional and easy for mine however.....

It's a rather retro hand basin yes. Straight from the 1960's.

Tu'i Malila - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

According to one story, Tu'i Malila was one of a pair of tortoises given by Captain Cook to the Tongan royal family upon his visit to Tonga in July 1777.[2] The other tortoise reportedly died shortly after Cook's visit.[3] This story has been discounted on the basis that Cook made no mention of the event in his journal, although it has been suggested that the tortoise may have been the gift of a member of Cook's crew instead.[1]

They flock to our squares in their dozens, and defecate all over, even our most treasured monuments and statues. They squabble over leftover sandwich crusts, and nip furiously at cigarette butts.
And if you get too close to the flying rats, as they've come to be nicknamed over the years, and you might even notice a somewhat grim detail of missing toes - or even the whole foot.

Bug Bites​

6/13
Insects can take the blame for some itchy blisters. Scabies are tiny mites that drill into your skin, sometimes leaving curved lines of blisters in their tracks. They often attack the hands, feet, wrists, and under the arms. Flea and bedbug bites can cause little blisters, too. The brown recluse spider has an extra-nasty bite that blisters before bursting to form a painful open sore. If that describes your blister, go to the doctor right away.

Blisters Causes and Treatment

Blisters can result from an ill-fitting shoe, a bug bite, or a serious health problem like shingles. Find out more from WebMD about what causes them and how to treat them.
