Cat drinking the condensation!

Mine likes her pottery bowl, it's pretty huge and I hear her bell banging on it.

Mine love licking the condensation from the windows and also - the drips of water on my legs when I get out of the bath - frightened me half to death the first time!

My cat loves drinking from glasses aswell. After switching to a smaller glass for bedtime so he couldnt get his face in it, he learnt that if he just knocks it over with his paw he can lap it up from the bedside table or the carpet! So now I have to have a plastic bottle next to my bed!
We cant leave glasses unsupervised anywhere. If we leave an empty one out overnight it's lying on it;s side come morning.

haha he's so clever!

Cats are mysterious and contrary creatures and I suspect that's part of the reason we love them so.

My boy Stanley has several drinking bowls littered about the place and his most-used one is on the living-room windowsill but dripping taps are favoured as well. I suspect the only reason he doesn't drink out of the lavatory-bowl is because he can't get the door open by himself.

Pusscats in the wild didn't drink where they ate so putting a drinking-bowl down near their food will pretty much ensure that it gets ignored.

Don't own a cat, but our German Shepherd will lick the condensation off the back door from time to time!

Saying that she's another that is more fond of running tap water than her bowl :rotfl:

Bedside water glass is a fav, and when I had it the fish pond as well!!

yup, my cat does this too!
He'll drink water from the bath, shower, sink, glasses, window, cold tea, you name it. He will drink out of his bowl too mind you
I do have to fill the sink up every morning for him to drink from during the day or he huffs lol

i thought my cat was on her own in that respect! She will often drink a cold cup of tea, she'll even sit there waiting for it! She'll drink puddle water, dip her paws into a glass to get some water out, dripping tap and once i even caught her licking the shower curtain after i'd had a shower!

She will drink from her bowl but is much happier drinking from other sources!

My German Shep drinks out of my raised fishpond - I put it down to fish flavoured water!

My terrier cross much prefers a muddy puddle. We have some sort of sewage/water pipe cover in the garden which has dips underneath the handles, water (and all sorts) collects in there and he loves to drink from it. Any form of drink left on the floor is also in danger, especially tea. He was a stray before going to a welfare shelter, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
