I love hearing about the quirks of other people's cats.My indoor cat is 13 years old and up until a couple of years ago she would drink out of her water dish, by her food dish. But then she decided she wanted water in the bathroom sinks. And it has to be fresh. She'll jump up onto the bathroom counter, after she has meowed enough that you know she wants a drink, and will watch as you put the stopper in the sink and put 2-3" of water in the bottom. Then she will drink, but only if there are no soap bubbles from soap residue left on the sink. She likes drinking water from both downstairs bathroom sinks, and if I go upstairs and she follows she will run right to the bathroom up there and sit on the counter and wait for me to fill THAT sink for her as well.
And when she uses her litter box for #2 she will tear through the house when she's done, it's the only time she will run in the house so we always know why.
Mine is like that as well. He also will just dip his paw in the water bowl and drink off his paw. My other cat likes to have a little tea cup on the bar to drink out of.
There there is also the ever popular-- eat only out of the center of the dish.

He was obsessed with drinking out of the bathroom sink for a little while but has now changed his obsession to coconut oil. If I so much as touch the jar, or sometimes just open the cabinet we keep it in, he starts pacing and waiting for you to serve him. He's a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way! 


Thank you and to everyone here who adopts rescues.
