Additional Comments: So... the other day I was standing at my kitchen sink washing out my favorite mug while I had the water warming up in my amazingly excellent new Keurig coffee machine that my most thoughtful and loving daughter gave me for Christmas getting ready to prepare myself a delightful cup of English Breakfast tea (in mere seconds, mind you) when I thought I heard something strange. I turned off the water and still kept hearing the sound of running water. I looked around for a moment, befuddled. It sounded like the fish tank water running. You know that sound. Only WAY LOUDER! Like as if the fish tank was in the kitchen with me (which, I assure you, it is NOT). I cautiously peeked over the kitchen counter never in a million years prepared for what I was about to see...
Our little furry orange cancer patient with his hind legs firmly planted inside the Dog's water dish (full water dish) with his front paws on the outside squatting over the water bowl and peeing like a racehorse!!!
While I do like to consider myself always prepared with a camera or video device of some sort or even a phone laying around to capture special moments such as this, there was no way I could have anticipated such an occurrence. I grabbed for my phone, but by the time I SLID it OPEN, GOT TO THE RIGHT SCREEN, OPENED THE CAMERA...you know what I mean I'm sure... he had hopped out of his pissy water bowl.
I quickly snapped off a shot before the thought struck me...CR@P!!! His paws are all pissy!!!He stood there staring at his disgusting accomplishment as if to say, "wow! why didn't I think of this years ago?" I quickly ran over and grabbed him spun him around on his back so his little urine drenched feet were sticking up in the air and not touching me (thank goodness he doesn't weigh 18 pounds anymore)I ran him off to the back bathroom where I made him stand in the sink while I washed off his pissy paws! All the while saying, Ohh sure, you don't mind STANDING IN THE DOG'S DISH URINATING ALL OVER YOUR OWN FEET, BUT TRY TO WASH YOU OFF WITH CLEAN WATER AND NOW YOU GET SQUEEMISH!!!
Someone ought to have gotten a photo of THAT!!!
I texted my daughter the story and posed the question, "what do you think it means" she texted me back this....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! I think it means Buddy hates Max!!
LOL. I think it means he hates ME!!!
The only evidence I have. I swear, I am not putting lemonade in my dog's water bowl!

Message: Do you guys think THAT could be it! i was just responding to Mitch and off the cuff I said it was Buddy's "bucket list" !
Maybe that's why he's acting like such a wacko!!! He's normal in all other ways. He just has little odd behaviors now and again!
It was always on his bucket list to pee in the dog's water dish! I'm convinced now!! LOL!!

Now that I'm done laughing my @ss off, let me just say that while I'm sorry you had to deal with this, you tell a mean story!
I don't know what to say about Buddy, other than agree with the others that he was sending a very definite message to Max.
I do want to ask you though, do you really have to let the water in your Keurig heat up? I have a Tassimo, and it doesn't have to heat up, I just put the disk in, push the button, and voila, hot coffee. I've actually been waiting for my Tassimo to poop out because I'd like to replace it with a Keurig, I think they're nicer and the selection of beverages is much better. Just didn't know about the pre-heating thing.
In the meantime, keep an eye on that cat! Or more specifically, keep an eye on Max's water bowl, in case Buddy strikes when no one's looking!

Isis, have you always had this cat? I know it's a longshot but, the reason I ask, some cats can be trained to use toilets and maybe yours associated the water bowl with a WC.
Otherwise, yes, cats have their ways of asserting their territory. Perhaps I should say "passive aggressive" ways.

Message: Oh, dear, isis, your cat peed in the dog dish. Hmmm, before you spend your hard earned money for a cat psychiatrist, I think that it means that your cat hates your dog.
