The Impermeable Kitten
Maine Coons love water, as every site about them seems to point out. Kanoko has always dunked his paws in his water bowl, but Malo did the same — the transparent water makes it hard for cats to see just where the surface is, so they’ll often daintily feel for it before drinking. But since Kanoko has grown large and strong enough to jump onto countertops, it’s become clear that his love of water goes much further. He’s even put himself in the sink with the faucet running over him, and he loves it! When I wash the dishes he’ll play with the water, and then snorfle from the faucet during the rinse.

He is so very cute! How fun he plays with water like that ^_^ I had a cat she liked to drink water from the running tab. And a very nice photograph too! I love it!

Oh, my! I was about to do an entry on my blog about the same!! Muffin does the same thing… every time I open the faucet to collect water to brush my teeth, he comes together and drinks the water just like Kanoko is doing in the photo above… my previous cat didn’t have this habit, so I was so surprised and now even more seeing your entry. Thanks for sharing… By the way, nice shot!

Woa… This is so far from my cat who hides every time he hears the water running!
