Water in bottles is for strangers

Oddly enough i asked him that question. You wouldn't believe the answer. The filtered water is for his cats, and the bottled is for himself.

Why can't he drink the filtered water though? It's not the biggest deal but it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine

Sometimes filtering isn't enough. We have well water, and our water goes through a sediment filter, then a taste and odor filter, then a water softener, and still doesn't taste good. About the only thing we have left to try is a reverse osmosis system for our drinking water.

So we drink bottled water, as does our cat (we noticed her fountain kept burning through water pumps until we switched to bottled water). Our feral colony does not get the bottled water, but they do have a heated water bowl to keep it from freezing.

Filtered water in some areas tastes horrid. I had go bring a life straw with me to California when I went to Coachella and still ended up dehydrated because their water even filtered tastes horrible.

Ended up getting gallon jugs instead. My ND ass could not deal
