Buzzkill checking in, this means your pets water bowl is empty

As someone who has had 8 different cats over the years, I can verify this is not necessarily true.

In my experience it usually meant the cat preferred running water over standing water in a bowl. Sometimes it meant the cat didn't like the size or shape of their bowl.

Sometimes it means your cat is a defiant nut who doesn't like things you put out for him, but will gladly drink out of the dog's bowl, a glass of water, or the toilet.

I have a "running sink water at bedtime" cat, and an "I demand to drink 'found' water outside at first light" cat. We still miss the shower curtain licker.

Nevermind the 5 other dishes in various rooms including a never ending cat fountain they used all of a month before scorning.

I never had sink kitties until this latest batch. one of them figured out how to be adorable curling up in the basin and the other copies her but doesn't understand why it gets him pets. sometimes it's hard to tell if they're trying to be cute or begging for our nasty tap water, but hey at least I get them drinking.

[–] iAvicenna 6 points 1 week ago

nope, not true. some cats simply have a fetish for tap water. you can fill the bowl to a brim but they will still run to the tap the moment they hear someone is there.
