When my cat drinks water she put her foot in the bowl?
My cat does that, too. I had one cat that made a terrible mess at the water bowl. She was testing to see how deep it was so I put a big rock in the middle and the mess wasn’t quite as bad. My kitty spreads her toes wide apart and pulls it across the water and then licks it off. I thought maybe she was multi-tasking: washing her foot and getting a drink at the same time!
