Othello drinks

From a filtered water fountain the normal way,but he also likes a still water bowl too.

He loves his fresh water.

He drinks from the still water bowl in a different style.

He dips his paw into the water makes a little cup with his toes and laps and licks the water off his paw.

It's so cute.

Anybody else's Cat drink with thier paw this way?

The still water is changed more often than the filtered one,lol.

when he couldn't reach it with his tongue. Otherwise my cats have always drunk water the regular way, though they definitely prefer running water from a fountain or a faucet.

None of my cats will drink from their water fountain, for some reason. When I bought it, I figured they would all go for it. They sure love it if I leave the faucet in the tub trickling.
