This cute little video proves that cats like flowing, cool water to drink (see at base of page). It is the reason why water fountains are popular. I think water fountains are less useful that taps (faucets) because water fountains need maintenance while taps don't in terms of a build up of algae or some other crappy substance. Synchronised cat drinking from a faucet (video). Screenshot. This is a brown tabby-and-white below a ginger tabby who are both feverishly drinking from the tap. There are many videos of cats doing this. It is the first that I have seen where two cats share the experience. We should remember, though, that not all domestic cats are quite so obsessed with flowing water. Although it is to be expected as it follows what the wild cats do when drinking from streams.  It is said that cats can pick up the sterilising chemicals in human tap water such as chlorine or chloramine. The sterilising of tap water must vary from state to state in the USA. The method of ster...

Sometimes videos stop working and if that has happened I am sorry. Don't be surprised by this cat's behavior. They learn by observing humans and copy them. They ain't stupid and they like fresh, running water.

Yes, I love Maine coons! And, I love to find YouTubes/ videos that don't have a gazillion hits. I just happened on these from a new YouTube poster, and is this a sweet kitty, or what? Maybe I'm wrong that the kitty is a "she". I made this call based on the sweetie pie face, not the behavior. Kitty explores washer/ dryer- she's almost got that treadmill up to speed! Direct YT link is here . btw, my most favorite "kitty on a treadmill/ exercise machine" ever is November Gets on the Treadmill And below, the Maine coon kitty explores the wonder of dripping water. Yes, a bit longer YT than I normally post, but watch on, the cautious kitty behavior is fascinating. Direct YT link is here .

Maine coons are known for retaining their silly, kittenish personalities way past kittenhood. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that Maine coon humans (the humans owned by Maine coons) can be more than a bit silly too, especially when under the Maine coon influence. ;) Everywhere in the world! Below is another great Maine coon YouTube also from matosk , who posts from Bratislava, Slovakia. If you go to his channel, you can see some more entertaining YouTubes of Findus and May, the two Maine coons.

Direct link is here I said: Pretty funny when Mex meows/ scowls at you! What was going on there? Like, "stand back, I'm playing with the water?" Human responds: Haha knowing him, I think he meant more somthing like "hey, you're close all of a sudden! Look, I'm having so much fun!!". I was kinda creeping up on him with the camera.. lol. He's a sweetheart, always meows at me like that when I come near him. (via YouTube comments) oh, and check out Mex's gorgeous fur coat, and those "ear tufts".

Watch the first few seconds very closely! Very quick kitteh. Human says: "This is my 9 year old Maine Coon, Checker. I couldn't figure out why the water was always on when I got home until I caught him in the act!"

In comment to an earlier post, Marion in Savannah said: I live in fear of a kitteh who solves the doorknob problem, however. Hoover is working on it from several angles... Oh Marion, I have so many YTs in my library of cats opening doors. Including a few of kittehs opening doors that have round doorknobs. Please don't let Hoover watch YouTubes, especially this one. This kitteh can turn on the shower tap. Direct link is here (1:43) Human says: "Miu Miu and Gut Gut love drinking water fresh from the tap. Now they don't need my help to turn the tap on!!"

Another water loving kitteh.. Direct link is here (1:43) Human says: "My cat, Emmett, likes to "shower" in the laundry sink."

Direct link is here (1:45) This is the first installment of an occasional series. Oh, my, I have been researching this topic, like, forever. But this particular Bengal cat in the bathtub captured my attention! No doubt at all about the water thing. The tap is running. Watch teh kittehs legs carefully to see the water level get higher and higher!
