yorkster, OK, I just wanted to compare notes, as this is unusual behavior for me to watch. Aquarius did this when he was a 2 lb. kitten. Yet, this behavior seems to be contageous with some of the others as well. They will dump the water bowl when it is almost dry, so any water spilled will be minimal. But just the same it is another mess for me to clean up. Thanks for the replies all.
