People who own cats, how does it make you feel to catch your cat drinking from the fresh glass of water you just poured?

Happy that he’s not drinking the dirty rainwater out of the bucket in the garden.
Water is fine. I’ll get a new glass.. But one of cats is obsessed with Tea (proper British tea) number of times I put it down and turned round only to see her ears folded back and her entire head in the mug slurping away. Its so annoying.
I came to the understanding that it isn’t my water but her water… everything is hers and I need to be humble and blessed that she chose to accept me in her life… All hail Queen Pebbles… long may she reign…
Slightly annoyed, but it rarely happens as I don’t often have plain still water.
Relieved because I caught her before she intentionally tipped it over again.
Honored because she’s drinking with the big wigs now
They’ve either never done it or I’ve never seen ‘em do it. Let me live in blissful ignorance
I’ve never had an issue with them doing that. If they did, though, I would just be happy they are drinking water. Both of my cats are “senior” and senior cats tend to not drink enough water.
Especially my boy with his urine crystals. He NEEDS to drink more water and if he were doing it out of my glass, who cares. I would just go get a new glass.
I’d mostly be upset because I know they drank from the toilet the night before.
Honestly I just let them
No kitty that’s my glass of water
I’ll think it’s cute
My cat drinks the dog’s water. Because fuck that dog.
I always allowed my cat to drink what I had in a cup (except soda of course). Not my dog, though. (But we let dogs lick our face for some reason?)
I feel like a dummy because it’s happened 100 times and I never learn.
I love my cat, but I don’t want to share drinking vessels. I have a drink bottle, so the little brat can’t. She has fresh water in her bowl, but also likes drinking out of puddles. She is fast and sneaky so if there is a glass left unattended she will try her luck. Luckily she’s cute.
Another cat we had who has passed, liked orange juice. He would dunk his paw then lick it clean. He was a very odd ginger cat. Lovely natured, loved cuddles, but thick as two planks of wood lengthwise. He is greatly missed.
Our cat lies in the bathtub on his back, paws straight up, tongue out, and catches every drop from the spout.
He’ll do this by the hour, even though his water dish is full of fresh water. So far, he’s never sipped from a glass or shown any interest in it.
But if he did, I’d enjoy the moment (cute to watch him sipping!) and let him have it while I got a new glass for myself.
I always laugh. I love my cat.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy and keeping a journal. Maybe try reading this book. It helped me a lot.
Edit: Also, maybe try not following all of the advice in this thread about drinking and having casual sex. You may just turn into a sex addicted alcoholic.
Train them to not do that.
My cats actually don’t. But then I drink out of a 24oz tumbler and generally drain half of it between the kitchen and me sitting down so they couldn’t drink it without knocking it over first.
Normal?
Throw it in their face cuz that’s grotesque
I’m just happy she’s staying hydrated
Why I drink out of a glass bottle and why he gets his own glass now.
Amazed. He usually drinks the two month old water outside in a plant pot.
I’ve accepted that I drink cat spit… and even cat litter -.- My cat is one of those dumbasses that like to stick his paw in first and then lick from his paw a few times before actually drinking normally
Really good, because that never Happens with my cat. He’s so insanely polite and well behaved, that i sometimes dont think he’s even real. I mean, he’s a ragdoll and they’re already different, but he’s like… SUPER different.
