Both of my cats like to watch us in the bath, but they don't drink the bath water. Sylvester the youngest likes to walk along the bath edge when we are in the bath and sometimes licks the shower tray dry. But mostly he likes to drink water which I have washed vegetables in or water that is in utensils in the sink. He is fascinated by water and loves to watch it drip in the sink. I can't understand it as I change thier drinking water twice a day and still he does it.
Another note of caution from the over-cautious Beauty (the person, not the cat of the same name): make sure that when you put knives to dry in upright dish drainer slots, you put them point down. I read about a prowling cat who stepped over a knife that was drying point up and severed a femoral artery and almost bled to death before being saved at a cat trauma center. These little cats can find so many ways to get themselves into trouble! And if they are attracted to sinks and counters, we have to keep those areas particularly safe.
Maghoí and Dílle are real big on hanging out in the bathroom when I take a bath too! Dílle even has her own rubber duck she bats around in the water. They don't drink the water until it has all drained out of the tub. I had presumed that they hung out in the bathroom to be close to me.
