W/ the best cats
My 3 kittens are now fond of putting bits of newspaper in the water bowl. There are 5 bowls spread around the house but in this one they seem to hang around and after "spicing" it with paper, they drink. I have also seen them just staring at the paper in the water. What gives?

It's just for entertainment.  Like little kids, kittens are wierd!  They find strange things amusing!!!  Some say that the "drowning" of toys is a hunting behavior, perhaps this is an extension of that?  I don't know for sure but it's is just something they find amusing and it may seem strange to you and even annoying to clean out, but I don't think there are any real answers here except just make sure they don't have access to paper!

:lol3::lol3::lol3: Is that their version of a rubber ducky? Just think, it shows they're smart and inventive!
