We have the two most perverse cats I have ever seen. Amanda has refused to drink from a water bowl since day one. Our bathroom tub had a leaky faucet, so she decided she preferred the drip-water over bowl-water.
These days she prefers the kitchen sink, with a slow trickle of water that she can stick her head under and let it roll off her head. She catches the water in her mouth as it rolls over and down her pretty black head.
Tonight, Lucy demanded to have the water on so she could do likewise. I found her sitting in the kitchen sink whining at the faucet. Sure enough, when I turned it on, there her head went right under it.
I don't know if Amanda has been teaching her bad habits, or if she just thinks she's missing something by not getting her head drenched.
Personally, I don't see the charm in drinking water that has already coursed through my hair.
So, we have about the only cats in the universe who don't run from water unless it's in a dish.
Go figure.
