So why does Neko have water droplets on her head?



Because, this is how she drinks from the faucet...
Lets the water go directly ontop of her head!! Then she has a wet head for about an hour. Shakes her head when she's done drinking water too and i'm trying to get ready for work!! Silly girl




Is Neko a "big" cat? Not interms of weight, just size?... Everyone who sees pics of her always says she's big, yet they don't have cats so....
I will say however, that she is getting a little to big for the size of the sink:


Enjoy!

Mazy used to drink that way, too. I could tell it annoyed her though, the water hitting her head, but I could never seem to help her figure out how to get the water without it pouring on her head, and she gave it up.

That's when she became a water bowl spiller/dragger.


She does look like a big cat, but lanky like the teen years. How old is she? Just looking at her I would guess 2? She might grow into those legs and that long torso still more, if she is that young.

Neko is stunning!

Thanks Everyone!! She makes me giggle everytime i see her drink from the faucet.

otto, She use to drink normaly from the faucet, licking the running water with her toungue, but this caused the water to flick up her nose, which she didn't like. Then she started to use her paw to grab at the water, guess she didn't like getting her feet wet. Just recently, say couple of months, its been the top of the head thing

Her 1st bday was March 27, so shes 1yr 1mon and some days... so Wow, the size of a 2yr old,
She was only 3lbs when i adopted her

Very cute. My Raven likes to drink from the faucet, too. He doesn't mind it dripping on his head like that, but these days, he likes to let the water run off his paw and then he brings his paw to his mouth.

Thanks again for the nice comments. Planted some potted and hanging plants in my patio today. I let Neko come out with me. She was really good too. 1st time she's ever, literaly layed out in the sun

That is to cute! Maia refuses to drink from her water bowl, I have a glass of water set out for her, changed daily, that use to be where I placed mine...till she took it over!

Thats funny
When Neko hears me drinking from a water bottle, she'll pull my hand towards her and stick her little nose in the water bottle, thinking she can get to the water!
Silly kitties...
