"Red, why are you drinking that much water right now, because it is almost bed time and we don't want you to go in the bed or the room. You have gone in the room enough times this week. Are you trying to get a kibble out, 'cause I will give the kibble to you if you ask me or if I see it in the water bowl," I said.
"Yes," said Red,"I would like you to get the kibble out for me."
"Ok, I will give the kibble to you," I said.
"Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee," Red said.
Hello again, I would like to tell you about R. trying to get a kibble out of the water bowl. Would you like to hear?
One day, Red was trying to get a kibble out of the water bowl. He was drinking until he blew up. He was shaking of having to go outside and do some business. He was already full, but he is such a piggy that he will keep trying to get food until he gets it. He finally stopped, because he was TOO FULL, but he kept drinking until that happened.
In any case, Red drank so much water until he was shaking and needed to go outside really badly.
Post Script. In this case, "blew up" means Red's stomach got puffed up.
That's a very funny story! I can just picture it! Rocky always wants more and more treats, too. But as long as I remember to give him one in the late morning he is pretty satisfied for the rest of the day. If I forget, though, he is very fussy! I try to figure out why he is acting out...and then I remember! When he gets his treat he calms down. Cats are funny about routine and schedules. They like you to stay on time and be consistent!
