Solution, originally uploaded by jckirner.

We have this cat Dewey, who loves to saunter along the countertop, dip his paws into any cup and sample the liquids inside.

We have a trio of girls that frequent the house and can't keep track of whose cup is whose. By the end of the day the countertop is littered with a dozen unclaimed half-sipped cups of liquid.

My solution? Customized cup lids that double as coasters!!
Less cat sampling.
Less cup littering.
