My cat Blair Louise is 2 years old and recently I've noticed that she has started eating weirdly. She will sit by the food bowl and pick out a piece of kibble with her paw and eat it. Sometimes she will throw it into the water dish and then scoop it up out of there with her paw.

I've never seen her eat like this before, so it's kind of weird lol Any suggestions on why she might have started this>?

I think weird is normal for cats.  I have tried to figure out why my kitties do some of the odd things they do.  I can't figure it out.  But I am vastly entertained!

Fuzzy sometimes eats his wet food with his paw ... after first picking it up and putting it on the floor! Cats are weird

Haha yea I guess there isn't always an explanation when it comes to cats lol 

Blair Louise is my sweetheart and Dallas is my crazy little monster

Blair enjoys cuddling up with my while I watch Netflix and Dallas is the kind of cat who waits until you're scooping the littler box to jump in and poop lol

Chula does this sometimes as well - no apparent rhyme or reason! She's always so delicate about it, too. Strange but sweet...

I have a cat that likes to use his paws for drinking. BK does this with other water sources too. I couldn't understand why it was always wet around my watering cans!

Tempest does this sometimes. She'll reach in a paw and scoop up a little dab of cat food, and ever so delicately lick it. She is always ever so delicate and focused when doing it, like putting her tongue even a millimeter from where it's supposed to be would bring the whole house down. Takes her about an hour to eat her meal this way, but that doesn't seem to bother her.
