Less, a bit of kitten/cat information. Cats will drink out of the toilet even if you have the freshest water in a bowl. Dogs are worse as they tend to drip as they run out of the bathroom.

I better clarify that at least "American" cats, okay maybe just Culpeper cats do this.

No, you're right, Cheshire cats do it too. They also sit in the empty bath and pat the taps in the hope of the odd drip. The bowl of water in the kitchen is looked on with disdain and is only used to drop bits of food into.

My cats spurn tap water put into their dish, but one of them will climb into the kitchen sink waiting for drops straight from the tap....other than that they seem to prefer the rusty water that collects in the top of a drain cover in my back yard....or muddy water from puddles.

Ours do that too.

Quite simply because they hate the chlorine in our tap water. Give them bottled water and they will happily drink it.

Margaret Pilkington · 06-07-2007, 10:53

well, if they don't like the chlorine, why does one of them sit under the tap and wait for drops?
I have to say that the one who drinks from muddy puddles is the 'adopted' stray cat who has lived wild for most of his (I guess) 3 or 4 years....only recently (18 months ago) being admitted into a cat loving household.

Yep ours will only drink from the tap or sink never her bowl for some reason

WillowTheWhisp · 06-07-2007, 13:03

mad isn't it when it's the same water? Cats are weird - but adoreable.

Less · 09-07-2007, 12:07

Well I almost named it today, it has decided that it is a parrot and perches on my shoulder so that it can chew my ear when it wants attention, so I was considering 'Polly'.

Now though I'm not so sure because it's gone off somewhere for a sulk. It was it's own fault, after all, even a tiny kitten can become a bit of a weight when it hasn't moved for three quarters of an hour, so when I adjusted my back I didn't know it had fallen asleep it was so relaxed it rolled straight off my shoulder and onto the floor.

The look of shock and disgust on it's face as it bounced a couple of times then it sort of went all embarrassed and slinked off somewhere trying to make it seem like it had meant to do that anyway.

WillowTheWhisp · 09-07-2007, 12:16

I love it when they do that! One of ours took a flying leap at a chair the other day, misjudged and shot right over. Then walked away with an "I meant to do that" expression.

Better whatch what he is doing people might frown on his pussy bashing and take it of him. Better have a nice meal ready for the poor thing and appology before it falls out with you Less .

Well, I can see disaster looming over the horizon, if I don't find some way soon to screw down my flat screen monitor the cat with no name will soon have it on the floor, it likes to join in any fast moving games that I play such as pin ball chasing the ball across the screen and trying to catch it.

This was fine when it was a wee little mite but as it grows bigger it's putting more weight behind it's punches and unlike the old C.R.T. monitors this one is proving itself quite willing to move in the direction of the floor!
