I posted a description of this behavior before. Now I have it on video. youtube.com/watch?v=ZQAAX-X6N0Q Our Sasha does this all the time before he drinks. Thoughts?
One of my kitties does that too, he may even leave his paw (just the tip of it) in th bowl while his drinking.Originally Posted by otto
Mazy pulls the bowl a few inches, then taps the water before drinking.
I wasn't surprised by the pawing before hand, but the tail wag caught my eye too. I have a couple of cats that paw around before they drink, but don't wag their tails like yours. It is almost like he sees drinking as a game.Originally Posted by Snake_Lady
I was watching your kittys tail in the video.... It looks like he was in a playful mood, perhaps he enjoyings "playing" with the water.
Sasha will always drink fresh water from the fridg. I put fresh water down to make the video. As was mentioned, "anything to get them to drink".Originally Posted by Dusty's Mom
She will only drink from the upstairs bowl, and then only if it is fresh cold water from the refrigerator. What's up with that?
