*** Quoting John Evans from a message to Miss Kitty ***
JE> But back to cats: I'm a bit worried about my owner. In the past, Sir H

It could be, but it could be something else.  I'd take the cat to the vet and 
have the annual shots done, and have them check on this at the same time.
Oh, I have one who likes the tap water too, but to drink enough to get sick, 
is not normal.
