My daughter’s orange tabby, Pumpkin, nudges the water bowl with his nose a few times to get the water rocking. He loves fresh water, and so I pour it in the bowl from a pitcher from about a foot above the bowl. He will stick his nose in the water stream as it is being poured. It’s just a quirk. My cat drinks from the fish tank.
THIS bad girl Bijou (11 lbs. of glorious show-quality Maine Coon) liked to play "spin the water bowl" with her giant tufted paws. Ever hear of centrifugal force? She also liked to dip those giant paws in the water and daintily drink water from the underside. I finally designed and had a craftsman build a solid oak water/food bowl feeder to hold the stainless steel bowls. Case solved!
