My two LOVE the kitchen sink. It's one of their favorite chill places--regardless if someone just ran water. Everytime I run water (for dishes or whatever), at least one of the cats has to be there to "help". And Luna has been known to stick her head under the faucet when the water is running!! I also have to leave a dish or a cup filled with water IN THE SINK or else they won't drink. In fact if I leave it on the floor, they knock it over (I suspect Luna is the main culprit in this). They used to drink from the toilet until the day Howard accidently fell in (lol!) and that was the end of that.

Cats afraid of water??? Mine must never have heard that rumor.
