My humans are constantly leaving glasses of water up on every table and counter top. While they know it’s my sworn duty to jump up there and knock those glasses over, they still yell at me and sometimes even swat me! I’m confused. Why do they behave this way?

Dear Bandit,
I know, right? I'm baffled by this human behavior as well. Recently, my humans have stopped drinking out of cups, and only drink out of water bottles. I can only assume they're trying to make my job more challenging. Perhaps I got a promotion?
Don't let their criticism get you down. It is a cat's sworn duty to re-establish this delicate balance in the universe. The water in those cups was never meant to be confined in a cylindrical prison. It was meant to be set free into the earth (or carpet), so that it can continue to flow through the world uninhibited. Humans don't understand the ephemeral nature of the universe, and try to establish structure with their gravity-defying water vessels. We, as cats, are here to remind them that all of it is temporary. There is no structure. If you want water, drink it now. It may not be there later.
Anyway, try pushing the cups off the counter in the middle of the night. Usually the humans are too tired to get up and punish you when they're sleeping. And sometimes the water dries overnight, and they're none the wiser.
Hope that helps!
XOXO,
Bubbles
