If there is even a speck of something in it, she will start meowing like crazy and finally drink out the toilet.
My cat is totally like that. He just hates water that's been sitting, speck in it or not. Which I can understand, actually.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Holy crap.
Roll call on the cat thing.
I'm a dog dude. Had a cat. Got over it.

Devi drowns things in the waterdishes and drinks out of the toilet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Gus, sounds like you had a defective evil cat. Don't take your bitterness due to bad cat choices out on the rest of us.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Dogs.
I'm also pro-melted cheese on bread with beer.

What is even happening?
Lyra, your goodbye to your cats made me snort.
I had a cat. She died. I had another cat. He died. No more cats for me. They die. But I like the cat talk. I like cats. I'm just never going to love one, again. I already have people, who also die, but on average, have a longer shelf-life.
No. I'm not going to change my mind--at least I haven't for ~20 years.

My dog won't drink dirty water either. And she won't eat off plates. If we leave her food on a plate, she sneaks up to it from the side, gets close enough to tip it with her nose and then shoots off under the table, from where she can stare at the cunningly inanimate object for ten or fifteen minutes before repeating the process.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Totally a dog person, to the extent of them living outdoors and I live indoors, but I will think fondly of them often and play with them at least twice a week.

My dog's the same way. She'll drink out of her water bowl only when I first put it down. After that, it's the toilet for her.
My sister's cat will just sit at the sink and meow until you turn the tap on for her.

Crumble the cheese and set aside. Heat the beer,soy sauce, tabsco and butter to a simmer (not a boil). slowly stir in all other dry ingredients until they dissolve . Now start the toast. Stir in the cheese a little at a time - stir in only one direction. Each time the cheese you have added melts add a bit more. When all cheese is melted the sauce is done. Pour over toast. Modify recipe freely; rarebit is a classic improvizational dish.
Now my corn chowder seems much less special.
There's a place on Nantucket that does a variation on Welsh Rarebit incorporating bacon and roasted tomatoes. Heart attack on a plate, but ummy nummy yummy!
