I just discovered who's been emptying the water from the dispenser onto the floor [View all]

Little Miss Carys. She sits and swipes her paw across the water and splashes away until all of the water is on the floor. And it's not a tiny water dispenser. Not sure how I'm going to deter this behavior. I've never experienced it, before.

And it isn't something she does on a daily basis. Just occasionally but it's enough to make a big mess. Honestly, I thought there was a crack in the little tank!

Next week I'm going to buy an indoor Blink security camera that I can move from room to room. This mystery is solved, but I want to know the perpetrator(s) of the other shenanigans that are happening. And maybe buy one of those hamster's water bottles that you hang on a cage. Well, probably not. She'd likely find a way to make that a regret, too.
