Lin, you're making it more complicated than it is... It's just that the cats drink out of the fish bowls, which as goldfish type bowls placed where the cats can reach them. They like "fishy water" even better than water out of the toilet, LOL. Don't think too much about what is flavoring the water.

Blake doesn't pay the fish much attention or try to catch them. He thinks that fish (to eat) comes in little cans! So far, Eliot has stayed out of the water, although I did see him near the bowl last week sputtering and sneezing in a way that said he might have shoved his nose into the water trying to catch the fish.

And yes, Eliot does that funny sideways skitter... I've seen Blake do it once or twice too, when he's enticing Eliot for a romp.

Here's our loong cat Blake, stretching up for a drink...
