Doodlebug: Yeah, she does that sometimes.

Me: MoonCat, your water bowl is where it always is. What’s going on?
MoonCat: Bulldog water tastes better.
Me: And this doesn’t bother you, Doodlebug?
Doodlebug: Nope. Plenty for all.
Stella: Well, it bothers me! It is unseemly and…well…well…unbulldoggy.
Doodlebug: MoonCat is a bulldog now.
Stella: Noooo! Not possible. Cats can’t be bulldogs. Period!
Doodlebug: She asked to join our pack and I said yes.
Stella: Cats can’t just apply and become bulldogs. Bulldogs are special. Bulldogs are different.
Doodlebug: But she has a little mouth and tongue and doesn’t drink much, and we eat her food if it falls on the ground, so what’s the problem?
Stella: That’s different. Bulldogs are vacuums. We make the world a cleaner place.
Doodlebug: But she lets me drink from her water bowl.
Stella: Well, there’s no accounting for taste.
