One of our two 9-month old kitties will quite often scrape the floor next
to the water bowl. This is almost a digging action, scraping away from

the
bowl. My best guess is that this is some kind of instinctual action, like
digging for buried water, but I haven't heard of this kind of behavior in
all of the cat books that I have read. Has anyone else seen this kind of
thing?


Mine do it too. They used to turn over the food bowls which, since I'm
using wet food, makes quite the mess. So, I got heavy metal food bowls
that flare out at the bottom and are very tough to turn over. They now
drag the bathmats over the bowls. And those are pretty heavy. Now I
just leave a few washclothes on the floor and they suffice.


Zoe used to try that with her water bowl and that too would make quite a
mess. She would lift up the edge of the matt her bowls were over to do
this. It was only with the water bowl too.

A month before she went to the Bridge she finally after nearly five years
managed to turn her water bowl completely over. Her life's work had been
accomplished.
