Some water and a cat

We have a water and ice dispensers in our breakrooms at work. They have those grates you can pour water down and what-not. All of them are equipped with signs that read: "These grates are for water only. Please pour all other liquids down the sink, including coffee, tea, and soda." Or something like that. The last sentence is exact wording. So here's my question: if coffe, tea, and soda are not included in "all other liquids" then what are they? I think they could have saved some money on the signs and cut down on wording a little bit. Perhaps they got a deal.

In other news, if anyone knows how to speak cat, I could use a little help. My cat has not stopped meowing all day until recently. Right now she is laying curled up in my chair, peaceful as can be. But she has been acting like a pill all day otherwise. She knows she is not supposed to be on the kitchen counter, so if she sees something on it that she wants, she'll sit on the floor and meow her little head off. Then when she thinks I'm not looking she jumps on the counter. I'm telling you, she's a pill. So if anyone can give me lessons in speaking cat so I can tell her in her own language what a twerp she's being. But really, she is adorable.
