Question
My siamese mix is about 13 years old and has recently started drinking my iced tea (out of my cup). Will this hurt her? It doesn't seem to have any effect on her but I'm a little worried.

Answer
Hi Wanda!
I don't think it will bother her.  My cats love to drink out of my glass too, so I took an old mug and filled it with water and put it on the bathroom counter. Now they think they are sipping out of my glass and getting away with it!  It works though!  I don't think you have to worry about her drinking a little tea ever now and then as long as she has water on hand.

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
