This is what I have to contend with these days, every time I want to use the bathroom for any reason.
Alfie in sink



Yeah, Alfie has developed a deep and abiding obsession with running water that shows no sign of lifting. If I go upstairs, he runs ahead of me to jump in the sink, just in case I might feel inclined to turn the tap on so he can play with the water. He even puts himself to sleep in the sink, which is apparently just the right shape and size to be cosy. What can I say? He's nuts.

Poppy, who is much more sensible, prefers to curl up on a nice, sunny windowsill, thanks all the same.

Oh god, the sink fixation must be a nuisance to live with, but it's adorable to watch:)

I have to lift him out of that darn sink every single time I want to use it! He is very cute, though, so that sorta makes up for the inconvenience. *G*

There goes the myth that cats are afraid of water! You go and show them, Alfie! *g*

Heh. He still reacts with deep offense if I turn the tap on full or splash him with water - he doesn't want to get wet, he just wants to play with a trickle of water on his own terms! He loves drinking from the tap as long as it isn't gushing too fiercely. And yet there's a full bowl of fresh water just downstairs...clearly doesn't taste the same when it isn't moving!

Hee - my two girl cats love the bath, especially when the tap's running. Boring old bowls won't do. They do all they can not to actually get wet though, which Alfie clearly isn't bothered about, bless him :)

Oh, Alfie doesn't want to get wet either. He'll stick his head under the tap if it's only on a trickle, but any more than that and he puts on his big martyr act as if I'm out to get him! He wants to play with the water on his own terms...

Awww that's so funny! He's clearly been enjoying the rain so much he likes it to be in house too!!

Only had 1 cat that liked to drink from a running tap ... Alfie is gorgeous and Poppy is clever finding her spot to keep warm.
