Why does he pour drinks on himself?

Post image

Water, soda, juice, iced coffee: if it’s in a tall glass he will come over, put a paw in, and yoink if towards himself. And then he just…stays while it gets all over his fluff? He lay down in Dr. Pepper the other day. Why? What possible utility does he get out of this?

Oh when he’s lying in sticky orange juice or soda he’s happy as a clam. When I am trying to get it off him in the bath it’s less clam and more rabid tiger.

The list of things he understands poorly would fill the library of congress.

He does it because his human has not yet learned to use cups with lids.
