This is not funny, it's cruel. They could turn the faucet down to a trickle, or better they could put some water in a bowl. It's not cruel, and /is/ a little funny. Remember that you can't make cats do what they don't want to do (well, /I/ can't). :) The cat is fine. The problem here is with the owners (or whoever) that has labeled the cat "dumb". In my experience, those cats that drink flowing water from the tap, actually prefer it that way, and ask for it. Given a choice between water in a bowl, and flowing, they would choose flowing every time. |

He didn't like water hitting him, but he liked to play with the streams of water flowing along the bottom of the tub. I made sure he didn't get the soapy water of course. It was rough on my toes though if they strayed under the curtain. |

Nipsy and Marlo lap it up from the bowl, but Espy likes to get it in midair. |

She liked a slower stream of water, but she would stick her head under it and turn it back and forth. Sometimes, she would even get down in the sink and roll around. I even have a video of her doing that "somewhere." She hasn't done that for several years, though. MaryL |

One of my cats jumps up on the shower door and meows pitifully when I'm in the shower and then stops crying as soon as turn off the water. Its like she feels bad that I'm getting wet. |

She loves playing in water. |

I think the neatest thing was that the camera was positioned so we could see his little face the whole time. :) He (like 9 trillion other gray tabbies out there) looks a lot like my Gracie. :) |
