She probably just prefers running water - one of mine is the same way; every time she hears me enter the bathroom she runs in and jumps up into the sink and demands that I turn the water on so she can drink. I just do it; it's easier than trying to keep her out of the sink. I also have a pet fountain that she and the others drink out of. Since I haven't tried to "cure" her of drinking from the bathroom sink I don't know whether the pet fountain would have satisfied her desire for running water. But you could try it. I have the CatIt fountain it's quiet and simple and the cats seem to like it.
