Freja, daugther of a NFC

We’ve got a cat at our shelter that doesn’t drink water from the bowl like most cats. She sits next to the bowl, dips her paw into the water, then drinks from her paw. She does it all the time! It’s the funniest thing. She just cups her paw (as if it were a spoon), dips, drinks. Go figure.

Hmm i havent noticed her face being wet, But she´s not playing with the water same way. But instead drinking from the tap.

Tonny, Your video of Freja is really cute! Notice that her face is not wet? I read somewhere that a cat’s tongue licks at lightning speed which is why they never get their face wet. Perhaps Michael can verify that tidbit?

My Abby, a Maine Coon mix, loves the water also. She sits on the bathroom sink while I shower and when I’m done, I have to turn on the faucet for her to drink. When she’s sated, she’ll jump into the wet tub to splash around in the leftover water. Funny stuff.
