Why does our cat sometimes dip her paw into her petmate water drinking-fountain?
It’s completely normal what everyone else has said. I’ve had a cat that drank only from his paw. He’d dip his paw in and wave it around and then lick the water off his paw. He would never drink with his mouth like a normal cat. Vet just said he was a silly cat! I don’t think you have anything to worry about — enjoy the smile your cat brings to you!
