I didn't know what else to name this thread!

My girlfriend has sort of inherited her MIL's 19 year old cat.... puzzles.
Very cute, very active for an old gal.
Just one WEIRD habit. She loves to jump in the bathtub and drink out of the tap, but unlike other kitties she puts her head under the tap so the water will splash off her head and then she drinks it off the side of the tub!
so bizzare........

Here are the best pics I could get.....





Anyone elses cat do that?

That's SO cute! No, I've never seen another cat do that, but I'm sure there are plenty of water-loving cats out there

I used to have a cat that did that
I have a vid somewhere... I'll have to search for it and post it for you

she loved sticking her head under the running water, but try to give her a bath and you could count on getting seriously injured

Oh that's so cute! My last cat loved water - he'd sit on the edge of the tub and let my son barrage him with squirt toys until he was absolutely soaked. He'd also lean down and swat at the water with his paws. Anytime he even heard the water in the tub turn on, he'd come running.

At the kitty's beck and call
Tolly loves water from the tap - but he definitely doesn't like it on his head. He loves to jump in the bath and watch the water. That's all he does, he likes it dripping fast just before it becomes a stream and he watches it....fascinated. He also likes to watch it dripping down the plughole


Puzzles is gorgeous - what a lovely little habit she has

My Prissi lover her water too, but she's a bit more demanding - she needs her special tub perch so she can get closer to the spigot.
