Babycat's Drinking Problem

Babycat is my boyfriend's 17 year old tabby. Despite how strange this looks, this is how she normally drinks. We're not sure why she does it, but one theory is that she's protecting the water from the other cats while she drinks.

Too much cute! My cats have a Drinkwell fountain to drink from, though they still demand the faucet or a bowl occasionally. I can't imagine what this Baby might do if faced with flowing water. Does she have any interest in the sink?

@onekinkstar : She does not really have any interest in the sink at all... I suppose that's not too surprising given her drinking posture!

this actually is a bit cleaver to do, let me explain: cats do have problem seeing the level of the water, so they use theyr feet, but if they use one of the frontal foots its so mutch pressure for the other frontal foot, so she found a way to eliminate the stress

@kubbur87 So she's using reflection to guide her to the surface of the water. That makes sense... thanks for the insight!

I want to see a video of her setting up to drink, this is just bizarrely funny.

@unstablejoker I'll try and catch her setting up, but it's kind of hard... as kitties go, she really likes her privacy. She's a sweetie, though!

i was so damn confused until the cat moved

I tend to put my foot in my water when I drink too, it keeps all those other pesky humans away!

So cute! This is one HIPSTER kitteh! :3

I'm sure she's like, "Drinking like other cats? Meh, too mainstream."

[gargargar]

my question isn't why she does that, but how she does that! that looks so acrobatic!!

It took a while for me to understand what was going on. Where was the beggining and the end of the cat. hahaha
