desperanceProblem-solving by the scientific method, as evidenced by Barry-the-cat:
A shred of gushyfudz has somehow got itself into the water-dish, submergingly. How to retrieve it? Baz has been working on this ever since breakfast, and will not be defeated. He was half-thinking about just closing his eyes, opening his mouth and plunging his face in, but he chickened out of that. (Okay, that's interpretation, and anthropomorphism too; but he did spend a long time with his face a millimetre from the surface, looking just like a boy trying to work up the courage.) He did try dipping his paw in, but the wicked sliver slithered away and his paw got all wet and he didn't like that.
Last time I looked, he was having a drink. A long drink. Maybe the water tastes nicer with a bit of a meaty edge to it - but my deep suspicion is that he's trying to drink the whole bowlful, and so get drily at the gushyfudz. He's taken a lesson from Lew Grade, and is lowering the Atlantic.
