My Sasha was rescued as a feral kitten. I am very lucky to have a cat that exhibits no bad behavior.
He has several quirky rituals. When he approaches his water bowl to get a drink, he first must get into his stance. He squats low with his front legs, hind legs more erect but in a "ready to bolt" position. He then scratches the tile floor a few times before finally taking his drink. As he begins to drink his hind legs settle.
I really enjoy watching this ritual no matter that I have seen it hundreds of times. I'm as curious as to where this behavior comes from as I am fascinated by it.
