Sirius has decided he's part jaguar or other water-loving cat. I heard a strange noise in back just now and went back to see what he was doing. He had both front paws in his water dish merrily splashing away. His hindquarters are still domestic cat though. He daintily shook them off as he walked away from the puddle he made. (His water dish is kept on the bathroom tile. No harm, no foul.)
