My Crysin often paws at the stem of the water bottle.  Of my five, he's the
only one I've seen doing this.  When I first saw him doing it, I thought
perhaps the bottle was empty or had gotten stopped up somehow, but I
inspected it and found that it was full and working properly.  I don't know
why he does it.  Anyone else have an explanation?
