now we have a new nickname for Wylie, our M. Coon, 9-month-old kitten: the waterboy, so named for his obsession with water. Completely empties his water dish at least twice a day by slapping it with his big paw, or 'scooping' at it (like he does his cat litter). He also stands IN his water dish to drink. My hubby says we should buy him a wading-pool.
