this is what my weirdo cat does. his name is hamster and i love him very much (song is the girl from ipanema from the album getz/gilberto!) EDIT: GOOD LORD ONE MILLION VIEWS thank you????????????
The cat will not lap water from a bowl on the floor like some common ANIMAL. The cat will dine like a KING! Bring out the fine china and the porcelain teacups! It is what our fine monarch deserves!!!
I have a couple of human glasses of water sitting around in my apartment that I replace every couple of days because it's a good way to get my cat to drink more water
Shelter worker here with some cat water facts! Cats still have strong instincts from the wild, and these instincts often lead to owners having trouble with them drinking water. TLDR: Don't put the water near the food bowl. If that still doesn't work, get a running water fountain type bowl. When cats were wild, food next to their water meant a corpse. That means rotting, which means disease, which means unsafe water. Because of this, cats have a very very ancient instinct to avoid water close to food. In the same vein, cats often instinctually avoid standing water, because in the wild that also means disease. While the water in your cats bowl isn't dangerous, their instinct is still reacting from their past when standing water wasn't safe. If they won't drink water, check if either of those is the problem. PS: As long as I've got your attention, I'd like to also mention cats instinctually hide their injuries, so keep your eyes peeled! A visibly injured ancient cat would be vulnerable to any scavengers about and that endangers them, and so they instinctually hide injury the best they can.
The last one tho. My Loki used to love trying to zoom past me to go outside and loved sunbathing while in his leash outside. One day he didn't even look up when I opened the door. I even took him outside off leash for sun bathing bc he had been lethargic af. By the time a cat begins visibly showing signs of illness/injury it's too late in some cases. Loki passed about two days after my attempt at brightening his mood, the vet helped by making his passing painless, by the time we were aware enough to ask questions, there was nothing that could be done. Also, string is fun and many cats love to play with it, please be aware some cats WILL eat it habitually and it will harm or kill them.
Cats are also prone to drinking water from your cups for a couple reasons. 1. They see you drinking from that source and they trust you so they trust that it is safe. 2. They like to try to mimic your behavior sometimes because they think it will help with whatever you're doing. :)
my oldest cat will drink loads from the bowl and then come over for a cuddle, realise i have water too and shove his face in like baby you've just drank like half a bowl
I feel like cats do this because they see us drinking water from these different "bowls" and they think it's special and want our stuff. My cat isn't allowed in my room most of the time because he eats my wires but I feel like from his point of view, I'm guardian of the incredible room full of fun strings.
That makes sense honestly, One of my cats likes coming to my room to drink water because I have a bowl in here (My dog likes chilling with me practically 24/7, So I always make sure there's some water here for him), my cat like never drinks from the bowl in the kitchen just the one in my room.
There's this neighborhood cat that I give food and water to, and I noticed that it would never drink the water I give it. I would freshen it everyday and clean it, but I never saw the cat drink from it, I even caught it drinking from the pool. After trying a few different things, because I didn't want the cat drinking pool water, it finally came to putting a big bucket of water next to the pool. I have no idea why, but that's what it took, and now I see the cat drinking from the bucket often enough that I'm satisfied. Cats are just weird and finicky with water, idk man
I learned through my cat, that cats prefer fresh water. So I would add fresh water to my kitty’s water daily & he would be happy when I pulled out my big purple water bottle to do it. I thought about it after & thought about how I don’t like to drink water that has sat out in a cup overnight- it goes stale/funny. Turns out pets also like a fresh drink of water each day too.
We just gave the cats their own cup of water at the table, and then got rid of the water bowl since they never touched it again. It stopped them from trying to steal water and they seem content.
They may be instinctually averse to standing water, or water near food! Cats will often have trouble drinking water in those situations due to the instinctual association with danger from the time they were wild.
My kitty does the same thing. We got her a fountain and it's the best thing we ever got for her. She drinks a lot more water, and she still likes to cram her face into cups, but she doesn't hesitate at the fountain like she used to at her water dish.
Apparently they do this because their instinct is to drink from a stream, which has fresh running water. The bowl is still and old water while your glass is a new source.
We all know what belongs to the humans is purrrferred. My cat insists on me pouring some water from my water bottle into it's top. It doesn't hold much water, she can get plenty more from a bowl on the floor, but she still insists on pawing at my water bottle, eyes bugging out of her head, like she's some honorary human for drinking out of a teeny cup.
Also, let it be known it's just her. My other 2 cats only drink out of their bowl. It's gotten to the point she won't just get all excited at seeing my water bottle, she's pawed at my brothers.
I actually think my cat is just odd, he passes up food for pets and immediately drinks water from the bowl when I put it out. He is love motivated and I like that, he is a good eldest child.
Mine doesn't want the clean tap water (netherlands, so no weird shit) but prefers the dirty rainwater + algae + dirt + waterfleas in our pond and what is left over in the disks that you place under potted plants
my cat loves water so much that she'll paw & scratch my little water fountain, until she gets the top off, & then doesn't know what to do with herself.
my cats like this too. we've got a fancy filtered water dish, but he prefers this plain bowl i have in my room (that i leave out specifically for him). if that bowls empty, he'll go attack the glasses in my mothers room asdfa
Whenever I would eat dinner I would fill 2 fresh glasses of water in identical cups, one for me and one for my cat. But she still insisted on drinking from my cup. Then I started taking a sip from hers in hopes that she would understand that both of them are drinkable, yet she would still fight to drink from mine. Eventually I gave up and just accepted that I am to share a water cup with my cat forever. So she decided to start knocking over the water over now.
i have never had a cat try to drink out of a glass or have any problem with a water bowl even when it was one of those combined food/water-in-the-same-dish things with the divider in the middle. i have two feral cats who decided to be friendly and even though the natural running stream has been their water for however long, they love their water bowl on the porch. i have to refill it all the time and they usually flock to drink it when i do. it's right beside the food dish. they don't even care if bugs are floating in it.
My cat knows what he wants. He does not drink from normal water bowls, he has to drink from glasses. He will only drink if you get him a glass cup or bowl. He is a fancy cat!

Until they break the glass for fun.

My cat is always staring into the water bowl, contemplating her existence. My other cat couldn't care less & wants more food even when I just fed him.
I learned through my cat, that cats prefer fresh water.

No joke. I replaced her bowl with a glass on the floor. Every morning and night I refresh it with ice. It's been 6 months.
My cat when we’re alone: Calm, sweet, sleeps all the time
My cat when guests come over: *head in a cup*

My cat Toto used to love sticking his head in glasses of water but because we got thin ones he couldn’t fit his head in
My humour has come to this : a cat sticking it's head into a cup
my cats ignore their fresh water but cry when I don’t let them drink from the tortoises soaking water :|
It’s always nice seeing Jobim’s songs in videos
Those last 3 frames, poetry in motion.
You forget that when the cat can't drink from the glass, it will try to flip the glass over to drink from your table and floor.
My cat always does this, this is why i lock him out of my room when my brothers home so he can experience what i go through every. Single. DAY
If I click replay on the video it won't play that last frame of the cat sticking his head in the glass, ruining the joke... Thanks UA-cam.
paws stayed dry.. this cat is truly nobility
Nevah question the will of the glass drinkers
hence why the cats have their own cat cup on the coffee table now lol. Never seen them so hydrated in my life
"Olha que coisa mais linda,
Mais cheia de graça [...]" 😍😍😍😍
Yess, viva la bossa nova
...e ela menina que ve mi que passa...
11 seconds of my life that where well spent
my cat cant be the only one who sticks her small head down our toilet to drink water-
Since my cat likes to drink from people’s cups, we have a mug filled with water next to our sink for her to trick her into staying hydrated.
this cats face is what i look like 24/7
The fact that castaways is playing in this makes this video
truth in art
Hamster making sure the water wasn't poisoned by waiting til after you drank it
I never seen my cats drink from its water bowls and they got three different locations and they still choose my personal drinking cup
This literally describes my cat as well but only with water. He'll drink milk from a bowl lol
I got an ad longer than this video
I have to leave a full cup of "my water" on the table so I know my ginger is actually drinking. -_-;
WHY IS THIS SO FLIPPING TRUE ALL MY CAT DRINKS IS WATER FROM A CUP LIKE WHAT THE HECK!??!

I often pet sit for a cat that will only drink water out of a glass, so that’s just what gets put beside her food, not a dish for water, a glass.
Cat like drink the waker🤣
😂WHAT ARE YOU DOING CAT LIKE IN THE WATER!😂
This is for some reason, is very very accurate
The cats drink things from glasses cause they can see through it, but a bowl isn’t transparent
Good 11 seconds well spent
Yep, that’s how it works.
My cat does the stereotypical nocking of glasses over
I gave up on the idea of a water bowl a while back and now just stick a glass of water next to my cat's food bowl. He drinks alot more water now.
i love this, thank you. hamster is very cute
i will pet him for you
I love that the cat is moving more than the water

My cat needs to have the water elevated enough to submerge his entire chest and chin into otherwise he wont drink
absolutely palpable
I love that your cat is named hamster!!!
They must think that water in glasses is different from water in cat bowls. They never see us drinking from cat bowls.
This is why I never trust a glass of water I left out overnight. Caught m'boy doing that crap waaaaay too many times.

Cats like water that is fresh, like you, not water that has been sitting around on the floor for a week. Give them a water fountain
