They cats will not stop splashing water. They refuse to drink it right out of the bowl. Maggie dips her paw in the bowl and then licks her paw. Hopey splashes the water out of the bowl onto the floor, chases the stream and bats at it as it spreads across the floor, and then begrudgingly sips at it. There is an entire bowl’s worth of water spread out across my kitchen floor right now like a lake, with two cats staring at it from afar, proud of their work. Good job, cats! You’ve killed and flattened a bowl of water!
They’re going to die of dehydration and, I think it’s fair to say, stupidity.

Last time I was at Will’s apartment I watched Maggie splash the water out of the bowl, and then Hopey ran over and started licking the water that ran across the floor while Maggie stayed by the bowl and licked her paw.
It was very nice of Maggie to prepare her sister’s water.

Last time I was at Will’s apartment I watched Maggie dip her paw into my glass of water, and drink it off of her furry foot. I did not finish the glass of water.

How rude of you, Brian! Maggie was just preparing your water.

You should give them one of those watter bottles, like the kinds rabbits drink from. It’ll blow their minds!

My boy cats, Arlo and Guthrie, read this entry, shook their heads and said, “Girls! They don’t make any sense!”

I think Anne’s cats and Will’s cats should get together for a feline four-way.

Sadly, a 4-way or any other kind of “way” would be difficult for my cats, being that the vet pretty much rendered them sexless about 8 years ago.
Plus the Nodar and Hines households have been feuding for centuries, so any sex/romance between these cats is forbidden!

my cats also do this. my hypothesis is that they may be evolutionarily hardwired to prefer water that is in motion to still water, much like preferring live prey to carcasses, for health reasons.
