22. Drinking from Faucets
Cats often prefer running water from faucets over still water in bowls, a behavior rooted in their instincts. In the wild, moving water is generally cleaner and safer than stagnant sources, making faucets a more appealing option. The sound and motion of running water also capture their attention and curiosity.
This preference may also stem from the freshness and oxygenation of running water. For some cats, drinking from faucets is simply a playful habit. Owners can cater to this instinct by offering water fountains designed for pets, which mimic the allure of flowing water.
