Waiting Game with Tara

Hi. Everybody.

Do you remember the blog I wrote about Tara a couple weeks ago?

Tara's turmoil ← you can read it from here.

My husband and I took her to the vet, it turned out that her teeth are OK. So I started to treat her with tartar stuff that you add their water.

She did drink that water in the beginning and eat dry food a bit more, but it was obvious that she doesn't like the water.

I didn't think it through from the beginning.

When I added the stuff in the water very first time, I did it while they were watching me. So, they knew there is something in the water.

I live with three kitties, and I want the other kitties to have teeth without tartar, so I added this stuff in all of their water.

Then,

Black kitty Fluffy started to yowl ( as if she is screaming out from Hell) in front of the water dish with complaining that “I DON'T LIKE THIS WATER!!”

Another time, I found Fluffy in the kitchen where a pile of dirty dishes around. She is 16 years old, she is not athletic anymore, I don't know how she got there, and I've never seen her there before. She must have been wanting to drink pure water. She was looking for it.

And Today,

When I passed the living room, I heard a weird noise.

It sounded like water dripping or something.

I looked around the room and focused on that noise.

I discovered Tara on the wood stove.

I wondered what she was doing for a second.

Then I realized that she was drinking water out from the old pot on the stove.

It was my mistake.

I underestimated how far she would go.

I didn't know she refused to drink that water that much.

I was wrong to add the stuff in all the water while they were watching me. It all started from there.

But if I don't add this stuff, her tartar wouldn't go away.
