Are you a cat owner? Then you've probably noticed more than once how your pet sticks its paw into a bowl of water placed in front of it.
At first glance, in this case the cat is behaving rather strangely.
Why would a fluffy creature “spoil” the clean liquid he plans to drink?
But everything is explainable! Study the reasons listed below - and then you will understand the "strange" behavior of your four-legged friend.
Cats' whiskers are sensitive, reports HERE NEWS .
The animal will experience unpleasant sensations if it immediately starts drinking from a bowl filled with water that is too hot.
To protect itself from such a consequence, the pet sticks its paw into the bowl: the fluffy one checks whether the temperature of the liquid is too high.
If the bowl is too deep, the cat may start checking its contents: suddenly there is something dangerous at the bottom.
The pet owner can easily solve this problem. It is enough to simply replace the large bowl with a more compact one.
Perhaps the pet simply has nothing to do. In such a situation, the animal has a desire to have fun. For example, to "play" with water.
Pay more attention to your furry friend, give him more toys - and then the purr will stop sticking his paw into the bowl.
Vision problems are another possible reason for your pet's "strange" behavior.
