We too have an orange tabby, Mr. Snuggles, that looks identical to Sparky (except Snuggles has a white bib). However instead of sticking his whole head into cups, Mr. Snuggles just repeatedly dips in his paw. So except for a little liquid footprint or two (which dry quickly) you have no idea if your drink has been contaminated by dirty cat paw.
The best part is that if the drink has milk in it he then throws up. You'd think my kids would learn not to leave their cups (and bowls, and plates) everywhere, but no, they choose to yell at the cat.
Mr. Snuggles is 6 years old. I'm sure that yelling at him is going to start working soon though.
As an adoptive mom of 4, I will be posting about adoption issues from time to time. If you read these posts, please keep in mind that MY personal frame of reference is older child adoption through foster care. Unless I specifically state otherwise, that is most likely to be the point of view I'm writing from. My relationships with the boys' families and decisions regarding openess reflect this and are not generalized to all adoptions.

LOL LOL LOL.
Mary, you crack me up. At our house the cats can do no wrong. It's the poor dog who gets yelled at.
Our girl cat Abby does the delicate "dip and lick" thing with her paw. It's sweet to watch but it's no fun wondering if she's shared lol.
Oh that's great! What a fun cat.
The deleted post is in my reader. Just wanted to give you hugs and let you know I'm praying for you.
