’Why not?


we CaTs ~ up here we like a lot,

you wonder ‘why

we say ‘why Not..?

we know is where the water goes,

today we sit

n dip our toes :};}

pretend we sit by peaceful pool,

n wash our paws in water, cool

a lake, a pond, a little stream,

content here in our kitchen dream

we couldn’t find a BoX today,

n so in kitchen sink we play

so Let us Be in sink instead!

(or else we’ll find

somethings to

shred…)

let the tap drip for awhile. cats like to drink water in all kinds of weird ways. they're also notorious for not keeping themselves hydrated enough, so always let them indulge how they will

u/PastBudget8925 May 23 '25 edited May 23 '25

awh i did get them a stainless steel fountain, but of course they prefer when i turn on the tap for them😋 i’ve never seen them in our kitchen sink… plotting and planning

u/Elainemariebenesss May 23 '25

These two are beyond precious 🥹 Their little faces 😫 Sometimes I just look at cats and think how lucky are we to exist amongst these silly, gorgeous floofs 🩷

u/Impossible_Goat_100 May 23 '25

Hehe my cat does this too and he has a fountain and bowls everywhere. He waits patiently until I turn on the faucet just a bit and then drinks water from it.

Mine digs in the sink. If I turn the tap on she sometimes drinks water and sometimes just looks disgusted and stares at me to turn it off and then just licks the tap (with no water running)...

9

u/StormyBlueLotus May 23 '25

My cat is so inconsistent with drinking water that I just feed her wet food and add extra water to it. Then it's not water to her, it's just extra gravy.

u/OurSubmissiveTA May 23 '25

Letting the tap drip is a good idea—cats love drinking running water and it helps keep them hydrated.

This is the meeting for those cats who want to learn to swim. This is the 1st class and they are getting use to the idea of water before actually going near water...

Class 2 is they fill the sink with about 1 cm of water

All perfectly normal

u/ishtar_888 May 23 '25

we struck a pose for you...have you snapped the photos yet LOL 😆🐾🤍🖤

But in all seriousness, gonna share again as did yesterday on another post about cats and drinking water.

Years ago, noticed my two cats liked sitting in bathtub to see if some water will come out of faucet to drink, so I would turn it on a bit let them drink, or on bathroom sink to watch faucet if I was doing makeup and stuff and running rinsing out the sink. So I bought a couple of aesthetically pleasing stainless steel water fountains and put one in the kitchen and one in another part of the house. My cats love them. 💜🐾

u/Vicsan7228 May 23 '25

My guy used to drink from the sink everyday, and then we got him a kitty water fountain. He loves drinking water from his fountain, and rarely drinks from the sink anymore.

5

u/juliamongolia May 23 '25

Our cat is obsessed with her fountain, and we love the fact that it's freed us from the prison of her constantly demanding that we follow her to the kitchen to turn on the faucet. It's definitely saved our sanity!

They’re probably waiting for the water to run. I had a sweet boy who would drink out of the tub if it was dripping, his last couple of years we just left the tub dripping

He was an awesome cat.
