This is one of those moggies who likes to dip their paw into the water glass and get their drink by licking the paw. In this case, though, the owners tricked the cat in two different ways. Poor cat!
Thirsty cat gets pranked

Awww! Poor kitty!
Kitty will have his revenge, undoubtedly.
That is funny. But the cats next move should be to push their ashtray off the table.

Ooh! That look the cat gave right at the end! If looks could kill! (Or at least maim)
It makes me think of another possible WEIT Readers’ Contest, if PCC(E) would entertain the suggestion — readers’ cats’ weird behaviors around water and food (with photographic or video documentation). Our Gus has one of each — which I’ll share if there’s a contest…
oooh – that’s mean. No harm done, I realize, but teasing animals is not popular with us!
Yah, I should lighten up?
Very surprised the cat didn’t notice the switches. I suspect the cat is blind – or nearly so.
No, it just drinks with it’s eyes closed. Like me on my first cup of coffee in the morning.
Well at least they didn’t put something nasty like vinegar in the glass. Replacing with an empty glass, or removing it altogether is not as mean. When I first started watching, I was sure they were going to startle it with a bad/unsuspected taste.
I’m glad they didn’t. 😎
That’s the same thing I thought they would do, except I was hoping for it! I would have loved to see its reaction.
Unexpected taste can be incredibly disconcerting. I still remember from decades ago, in the days when ‘public bars’ in NZ hotels had brown beer on tap and ‘lounge bars’ where I usually drank were slightly pricier but had lager; I stopped at a strange hotel, lounge bar was closed so I walked into the public bar and out of habit ordered a pint, took a big swallow (I was thirsty) and it was warm malty brown beer. I nearly threw up from shock.

I thought maybe they’d replace the water with clear gelatin.
That might not be so bad. I can imagine a cat liking something like that, especially if you flavored it suitably…make it savory instead of sweet — and it’d be an healthy snack for a cat, too.

Were I to attempt a variation on that theme…I’d swap the water for tuna juice. Now that’s a reaction I’d love to see!

(This damn browser – or WP – is *still* not remembering me. I’m getting sick of this)
They should be careful.

There’s some people who will find cat puke in their shoes.
