A quirk my cat has is that he won't really drink out of his water bowl but any time I put a glass of water down he's up drinking out of it! It's very cute but a pain as I have to go get a fresh glass for myself which he will try and drink nearly as soon as I put it down!
I thought maybe it was because I drink filtered water from the fridge whereas I was giving him tap water (only difference is a slightly metallic taste from the tap water; it's harmless) so I gave him filtered water in his bowl but this made no difference. Plus I wouldn't have expected him to be that fussy as he isn't fussy about his food.
Does anyone else's cat do this? As I said I think it's cute and not necessarily looking for advice to put a stop to it; just wondering why!
