    Why?
    Is it unhealthy or in what way do they hurt themselves trying to gather fresh water?

    Maybe just put an attractive alternative somewhere, like a cat water fountain?

      I’d be worried about my cat chipping a tooth again, but she’s also a bit of a dumbass.

        Ah yeah, guess that could be a problem

        Strangely mine was obsessed with buckets of water. Now he got his own tiny bucket and he is happy with that ;⁠-⁠)

      They’ll turn into water balloons and then I can have a water balloon fight.

      Edit: I also kinda prefer my water without toxoplasmosis gondii.

        Well, I guess, then don’t have cats at home
        I’m pretty sure, that this single thing won’t save you

        And I’m not sure how often you drink it off the bathtub, but you do you…

        Edit: because I’m a bit slow today:
        How do you think cats clean themselves? Do you think they take a shower?
        As they’re licking themselves clean, you have absolutely no chance to not get contracted, because as soon as you pet them, you have it on your hands - disregard all the furniture they’re lying on

            Well, then don’t please get one, if you’d be such an asshole to it. Thanks

              Bruh, I literally said I’d have a water balloon fight using waterlogged cats, and you took that seriously? I wouldn’t really want toxoplasmosis inside of me, but I wouldn’t actually turn a cat into a water balloon.

                Hm… I somehow slipped that part and only read about the toxoplasmosis…
