Crazy Cat Drinks Water Running Off its Head

Ok, as is exceedingly evident by the name of this blog and content, I’m a dog person. I do like cats however and had several growing up as a kid.

Whether you are a dog or cat person or both, you should find this cat video amusing at the very least.

My cat only drinks water from the faucet. I found him as a stray about 12 years ago. He was used to drinking rain water on leaves. So when I brought him home, I got him a nice fancy bowl and filled it with fresh tap water. No dice. So, I tried bottled water. (I live in NJ, and personally don't like the tap water here.) He wouldn't drink that either. One day, while I was brushing my teeth, he jumped up on the sink and started drinking from the faucet. Now, he let's me know when he needs a drink. I run the water pencil thin, stand by him until he's finished, and then turn off the faucet. (I don't like wasting water.)
I tried buying a fountain for him, but he prefers the tap!

that's really cute! it's a really odd behavior, but a lot of cats like to drink from the tap.

Yeah, I've seen lots of cats drink from a faucet, but very few that liked to take a shower under one. Very odd behaviour indeed. :/
