1. I have one that used to like to sleep in the

bathroom sink. He didn't care if I turned the water on or not. He'd just stare at me.

2. Well, that seems pretty crazy, even for a cat. :) n/t

3. mine will beg for a cup of water

then proceed to dip paw and lick...

He also likes to play in the shower & bathtub when they have fresh water...and will cry at the door sometimes when we are inside
As a kitten I realized he has webbed feet!
...surely he is a MerCat

17. My cats are lucky that I'm single

They loathe a closed door in general, but especially the bathroom. I haven't been allowed to do anything in there by myself since I got them. Which is probably a very sad sign that more interesting stuff happens in the bathroom than my bedroom.

The little cat loves to hop in the shower once I'm done. The other sometimes confuses my bathtub for her litter box. Usually that just means the litter box isn't clean enough for her standards, and really there are many worse places she could express her displeasure.

18. There is an unbreakable cat rule that says:

No Human May Occupy A Bathroom Unless Accompanied By At Least One Cat.

15. Is he here?

16. Nope

But I had no idea so many cats liked to hang out in a sink. They are truly weird little critters.

4. I used to have a cat that would jump in the shower with you

on his own

5. I had a Russian blue

who drank beer of my wife's fingertips. Couldn't leave a glass of Southern Comfort out. He'd get into it and you'd find him zig zagging down the hallway. Couldn't believe it the first time. It was in my lap. He sniffed and looked up at me like, "do you mind?" I figured if he tasted it he'd be grossed out so I was paying more attention to the tv than him. Next thing I hear is him lapping it up like milk! And I'm like hey hey hey man enough! Little dude got himself good and drunk. Sat down next to me, purred for 35-40 minutes and passed out. Craziest cat I've ever owned. Man I miss him.

13. Of course he's gonna drink!

He's Russian, what did you expect?

6. I have a cat like that -

just shake your head - it's all you can do.

7. Here's my cat, Pixie, doing pretty much the same thing:

10. Beautiful cat! And my cat, Felix, does much the same thing

When I pour water in the dog's dish, he comes running over and sticks his head under it. I know it's important for cats to drink more water, but he doesn't seem that interested in drinking it, he's just interested in the running water - and he's done the same thing in the kitchen sink...

11. Pretty kitty - thanks for sharing with us.

Do you have any insight into why they might drink that way?

Adds to the flavor?

12. Some cats prefer running water

I have friends with cats who expect them to turn on the faucet. There are also cat fountains. I'm not sure that would help my cat, though - he doesn't drink from the faucet or larger dog's dish, he just like to splash around.

8. Thats what happens when the owner has a drinking problem.

9. My ex and I had a cat that when we sat in the hot tub across from each other we could

toss her back and forth to each other. She loved it. She would dip her paw in the bubbling water also.
