cute nigel
aha….my own cat, George, will only drink out of his own water glass beside my bed….its actually hard to get him to stop eating off my plate as well!
One of my 3 cats has to drink from a “people” glass so I leave one sitting on the window seat in our bedroom. Next thing I know, the other 2 cats are following suit. Every morning they line up at the window waiting for me to “refresh” the glass, all the while a clean BOWL of water sits by their food dishes… untouched.
LOL@catz!
My cats actually do the same. In fact, they prefer to drink water out of ANYTHING (including glasses, sinks and if they get the chance…toilets!) expect where they are supposed to drink it 😉
Don’t want to start a dog vs cat thing, but . . . 🙂
No one ever said cats don’t have class.
I’m glad I’m not the only one spoiling her pets beyond reason.
Question is…what’s in the glass? Water or…..
Welcome home; loved your reportage from KL. Awesome stuff.
Aww cute nigel.. my own kitty gets her own water glass at bedtime.. or she shares mine, because she refuses to share with the dogs; can’t really say I blame her.
Joe,
My wife tells when missing her, she say, “sympathy is next to syphilis in the dictionary.”
Enjoy that damn cat….

My Birman Cats, Kiqi (my girl), and Zenji (my boy) will not drink out of a bowl, it must be at least a quality drinking glass. They are spoiled rotten but it is my pleasure. I know you enjoy time with Nigel as I do with mine which means your finding peace in him and an unconditional love…….Sorry for the rambling but cats are very special beings and have a lot to teach us.
Hahahaha! Cute! Enjoy home and it was great having you and Drew over on our side of the world 🙂
Hey Joe,
I have the same indelible image of skiing – when I was a kid we used to watch the Wide World of Sports opening every week just to see “that one guy wipe out” – it turns out he was a celebrity for 30 years and didn’t know it. Check out wikipedia for “Vinko Bogataj”.
For the record, my dogs refuse to drink from their water bowl, but instead drink out of the swimming pool.

My dog drinks out of a huge white porcelain wine glass 🙂
oh so cute….
Squirrel in a glass?
And late entry for camera sins: I’ve bought a 3rd body on ebay..doh.
Can you have too many photos of your pet? I mean what does it say if your Dog is a better subject than the humans in the house?
Welcome back to the good old US of A!
I love these pics of Nigel…so fun and just darn cute-what a cool cat! I confess to letting my pug sip from a wine glass as well!
And I’m glad you mentioned catching up with Facebook specifically, because I did something really dumb and accidentally deleted you from my friend’s list (long story, but a “doh” moment for sure) and so I sent you another friend request and a message blaming Facebook (of course) and then I realized it was my screw-up! In any case…hopefully you (or Drew) will eventually get around to accepting me back into the fold!
That darn cat!

Thats nothing, got a call from the local wine bar, apparently buffy has run up a tab!
No more treats for this kitty.
I am one of those facebook request that is waiting approval. Hope you will add me to the fan club!
Don’t worry about the wine, my Aunt’s cat was put on prozac for his issues
Nice shot Lynn!
We recently had a new kitchen fitted so we moved our cat’s water dish into the bathroom. When the kitchen was finished we moved the dish back into the conservatory (the through-room being the kitchen). guess what we found when we went into the bathroom? A cat sat looking at where the dish used to be. Who said cats can’t talk?
They also sit in the bath for a drink from the cold tap. We have two cats. Neither cats are ours: they have just moved in!
I GASPED as i saw ze kitteh drinking from a wine glass. .. HAHAHAHA.
This is so humorous.
Joe, any word from Apple on getting your Iphone to remotely fire speedlights? I am looking forward to that blog, if it ever comes to pass. Until then I’ll just have to settle for the daily inspiration I draw from your second rig. ;P
I know I’m only seeing Nigel’s back, but that cat looks rather eager to get up-close and personal with the squirrel. Hope those windows are secure and that he doesn’t find a way to get outside!
Holy Cow, I had to hit the “boss button” so my husband wouldn’t see this image. He, the cat person of the house, will take any opportunity to spoil the cat, and this wine glass trick has him written all over it. She already drinks milk out of his mug at dinner.
Great shot for an iPhone, even if the photog is a bit of an amateur… 😉
Great shot Peter. Too funny about the cat but not surprised. They seem to be able to find whatever they want and just have at it. Enjoyed…
One of our four-foots likes to drink from the bathroom sink. No problem with that, but when she decides she _must_ have a drink, and why am I not up and attending to her every whim, she will remove the sink stopper from the sink and bring it to me, dripping wet, and plunk it down on the keyboard, or on my face if I’m napping.
Well, I suppose this explains why you haven’t reciprocated on my facebook friendship request…… and I was getting all set to sulk about it. Now I’ll have to find something else because I was really working up a good sulk too.
I hate it when mamma ain’t home too.
