When he is outside, drinking from either 5 gal. or a 20 gal. container, he does the same thing. It makes no difference how cold it is outside, he still drinks in that manner.

Wayne-
My 1 yr. old M. Coon (on Dec. 29th), does this also- pratically takes a bath in his water dish! It's kind of a pain because I have to constantly be wiping-up water off the floor & carpet. Sometimes he even dumps the whole thing.
He is a beautiful cat: white and orange fluff, but always looks scraggely & messy because his whole front and bottom side are wet so much of the time, that his fur gets all frizzy/kinky looking.
He also gets REALLY matted from it. Normally M. Coons don't mat up too much, but Wylie is a different story.....
