Drinking From Your Water Cup or the Faucet Instead of Their Fountain
So, you purchase an expensive cat water fountain and your cat likes to drink out of your glass or from the faucet. Why does he do that?
Your cat may not realize that your glass of water is your glass of water. He just may find it convenient that there is a vessel that contains water when he is thirsty, so he drinks from it. Cats in the wild will drink whenever they are thirsty and find a water source; they do not specifically look around for bowls of water.
Another perspective may be that your cat watches you drink, and she wants to drink what you are drinking. If it is good enough for you, it is good enough for her.
Some cats may prefer to drink from the faucet when you are busy washing dishes or brushing your teeth due to their fascination by water that suddenly appears.
Or, your cat may just have a taste preference for running water compared to water that has been sitting in a cat bowl all day, which leads to bacteria formation. Plus, food particles may fall in and change the taste of the water.
This is the reason why your cat’s water bowl should be changed several times a day and washed with soap and water at least daily.
