I have heard that some cats enjoy playing with flowing water; whenever a faucet is on they are up on the counter or sink or bathtub to observe at close range. Meeshe will touch a paw to the water in his dish before drinking (either testing the temperature or level - only he knows!), and Lily likes to have a fresh cup of water held for her while she drinks, but she will also drink from her bowl.

Otherwise, I have never had a cat that seemed at all intrigued by running water, and wondered if anyone would like to share their cat's water antics.

I've read that Persians prefer to drink from fountains, because due to their facial structure they can get water up their noses trying to drink from a bowl . . . Spencer, have you found this to be true?
