My mom ended up giving several cats their own glass. They may still have drunk out of hers, but she never saw either of them do so after they got their own.
I think it's more common for cats to prefer the person's glass. Just to mess with us.

A sample. If you like yuri with a problematic self-esteem gap, this is for you reactormag.com/the-girl-tha...
Mira wears the green-and-gold she chose to her adoption. She wears the amethyst I picked out at our wedding. She looked better in the green, of course. The cream lace dress she made for me is every bit as perfect as she said it would be. All the fabrics that I wanted for myself got vetoed. “You are not a summer, you’re an autumn. You can’t wear those dusty tones.” This is some kind of a system, an astrology for colors. Still, I like it. Summer is smoke in the air, thought-crushing heat. It’s fainting in the sun and burning yourself if you fall on the sidewalk. Autumn is reprieve. That’s what I hope I’ll be to her. Mira is the picture of a happy bride. I never knew she was so good at acting. We dance, we lean our heads together, I kiss her even when nobody’s looking, except, probably, a camera. We say “I love you,” and she sounds just like she means it. I quiver whenever her hand touches mine, my whole skin is embarrassed being next to her. I know all these people are wondering why she’d want someone like me. It wouldn’t matter what they thought, if only she really did. That night we share a bed, of course. She switches the light off, so the cameras can’t see us as well. Then she turns onto her side and kisses me. She puts a hand against my collarbone, then moves it down. She does like to keep her hands busy. I guess so do I. I know this is because of pity, or to make the marriage look convincing to my mother. But she’s lovely in the dark, the way she feels against me. I wish I could believe she wanted me, but for a little while I let myself pretend.

What does it mean to “have momentum”? Well, when a Mars-sized object crashed into the Earth 4.6 billion years ago, its momentum obliterated the existing planet, tossing massive chunks of lava into spa...
