Have you any funny or cute cat or dog habits or behavior to share?

Several years ago, I was in the bathroom rinsing out the sink after shaving. Sawyer my adopted baby boy saw some water dripping and tried to catch a drop with his paw. After several attempts, I decided to place my hand under the faucet letting the tiny stream of water run down my fingers and he would lick the dripping from the ends of my finger tips. This went on for several minutes until he had enough. Since this is so cute my partner got some of this on the phone figuring this was a one time little happy moment.

Many hours later I went to pee. Sawyer could hear me from his treehouse in the living room he jumped down and after a few tries he remembered exactly where to position himself he looked up at me as if to say, "Okay dad you can turn on the water now" and once again drank until full.

So here we are, a few years later. If Sawyer gets thirsty he looks up and tells his daddy. He will NOT drink from a bowl on the floor that is something only for common pedestrian kind of cats who have no real sense of style.

Being the proud father I really am, any visitor who happens by gets to watch daddies boy being cute and ever so smart. All I need to do is call out his name and turn on the faucet do unless he had water recently he will come running.

Of course there are times I can't be here so there is s large coffee cup next to the faucet. For much longer times of absence I I have a kitty sitter they are given hands on instruction and written steps as well.

In case of a real emergency the sitter is instructed to put down additional tubs water and food.

Don't you folks agree what a lucky daddy Sawyer has?

Our family had a cat, or more accurately a cat took our family over, that would sometimes try to catch the water dripping from the tap if that not had been turned off fully. He'd sit on the draining-board - a practice we tried hard to break - watching the water then try to catch it in his mouth. He never quite timed it right though, and usually ended up with a wet face but just as thirsty as when he'd started.

Yet if you put a bowl of fresh water down for him he tended to ignore it, we think because he could taste or smell a faint tinge of chlorine too weak for human senses to detect.

The garden pond seemed tastier. He'd lean over the edge, gently pushing the surface film and detritus aside to drink the clean(?) water this revealed.
@ArishMell Ah, what a sweet little guy. Thanks for a quick glimpse into his busy but happy life sir.

@Grateful4you A pleasure!

Some years ago at work, someone started a thread on the company Intranet's internal social site, about the "Psychology Of Cats". It triggered a list of daft cat behaviour, and eventually someone remarked,

"Cats don't have psychology. They just are."
