Oh, I know, everyone thinks their pets think they are people. "Oh, look at Rover, he thinks he's a person! Oh, look at Fluffy, she thinks she's part of the family!" But I really do think wonder about my cat. He doesn't drink water from a bowl with his tongue, like a normal cat. If he must drink from the bowl, he uses his paw to scoop the water into his mouth, like a human cupping his hand. But he prefers to drink from cups, usually using the same cupped paw, especially if those cups contain soda. He also really likes tortilla chips if he can get them. And he enjoys watching TV.
Yes, he may look regal, like something the ancient Egyptians would worship, but I suspect in a past life, he was something closer to Homer Simpson.





Yo pet posts get a lot of hits.
Just be careful. If he's watching television you may answer the door one day for a delivery of tuna packed on ice from freshfish.com.
Your cat is a Maine Coon, isn't he? (Think you once told me that). Maine Coons are actually known for using their paws to eat and drink. Mine doesn't, but I read somewhere it's quite common for them to do that.
