Ok so this story goes a bit back. My cats grew up learning to drink water from a water fountain. They had no issues with it at all and have been drinking from water fountains for more than a year now.
Then I went on a vacation for a week. When I returned, I started to observe that none of the cats wanted to drink from the fountain anymore. I kept experimenting with this theory - I cleaned the fountains several times (thinking it was perhaps dirty?) then when they still didn’t drink from it, I went ahead and purchased several types of water fountains and all to naught.
Long story short - suddenly my cats just don’t like water fountains anymore?
But I could tell that one of my cats still had desire for water because she was always trying to drink water from the sink so I started putting out water bowls, along with the fountains. I see my cat trying to drink from the water bowls but she always does this weird thing where she tries to dig around the water bowl and paws at it aggressively like she doesn’t know how to drink from it?
What a strange few months it has been! Cats are so finicky and strange! Anyone else knows how cats like to drink water?
