Goldfinches

A picture from my friend, Kathy Novey.

I've created a monster. Ori, like many cats, prefers to drink from running water. She would leap up on the sink while I was getting ready and lap at the water coming out of the tap. That was funny - at first. Eventually, it got in the way of my morning ablutions. I started setting her in the bathtub, turning on the faucet, and letting her drink from the water that would pool at the bottom before running out the drain. Eventually, I noticed she was jumping out of the tub and drinking from the water as it left the bathtub's faucet. Well, OK, if that is what she preferred. Today, I was in the bathroom but hadn't yet turned on the water for her. She stretched her body to check if there was anything coming from the bathtub faucet and, in doing so, leaned against the knob and turned on the water. She got her drink and left. Now - how do I teach her to turn the water off?
