Most cats seem to pick up some quirky habits, thats why we like them. FiFi has taken to water, REALLY taken to it. We had the back of our toilet off for a while, it was broken and I am lazy, and FiFi liked the cold fresh water in the back. Like having his own personal spring I guess. I would find him balancing on the seat, paws in the back of the toilet, he was fascinated by it. After a while I guess he decided that he wouldnt melt and found it easier to just stand in the bowl, wading up to his knees, do cats have knees?
It didn't take long for FiFi to figure out that all faucets were good for water, and drains are also a source of endless fascination. Now if he hears me turn on the water in the kitchen he will come flying across the living room, bouncing off of furniture, springing, in a pre-planned dash, knocking over anything and everything in his path to make it to the sink to watch the water go down the drain. The sink is now his, he will sit there, talking to me, asking me to please come over and turn on the water. Now he stands in the sink and plunges his head under the stream from the faucet. He also likes to peer into and sometimes reach into the garbage disposal, I'd be lying if I said the though had never crossed my mind. |
