Does your cat drink out of a bowl or directly from the tap?.....My cat will not drink out of a bowl and gives me a dirty look if I even try to make her. She prefers the tap and has learn to turn in on and off.

You should really invest in a cat water fountain. Cats like really fresh, cold water. The fountain provides all that for them. Our cats still occasionally drink out of th sink if we leave it running, but they don't cry or annoy us to turn on the sink for them anymore.

My cat drinks from the bowl, but she likes clean water. I change her water at least twice a day. I have big bowl for all animals at once, easier to maintain and they are OK with it...

My cats all drink out of a bowl, while Mimi drinks out of her water dish. None of my cats has ever gone near the tap or the toilet, and for that, I am grateful.

My cat will do both but here is the funny thing if i go to the bathroom he will follow me jump in the tub and wait for me to turn on the water to a trickle and then procede to drink the water from the spikit it's the funniest thing ever. He also jumps in the shower with me if he thinks he's to dirty. It's quite funny .. He's completely white and I think he has OCD about staying clean. It's quite funny actually. have a nice day.

My cats LOVE to drink from the tap, or even from the bathtub! They will sometimes ask me to turn the water on for them. But they also drink out of their water bowl. I feed them almost all dry food, as vet recommended, and that keeps them drinking well, which is important to their health -- cats tend to not drink a lot in some cases. But they INSIST on fresh, clean water, if it is in a bowl. My cats are silly and love to drink and play in the bathtub, as long as the faucet is on just a trickle.

My one cat drinks out of the tap occasionally but he also drinks from his dish and from my other cats glass. Sissy, who is the one we had first, has her own glass which we must keep full of fresh water from the refrigerator. My brother once filled it with tap water and she turned her nose up in total disgust and walked away like "Who do you think you are?" My daughters cats drink only out of the taps. Annie
