Cats, who by nature do not enjoy contact with water, sometimes contradict themselves.
The strange behavior is manifested in the fact that a cat or a male cat, before drinking, can start touching the water in a saucer with its paw. How can such quirks be explained?
Sometimes, instead of starting to drink water from the saucer, the pet touches it with its paw and then licks the water off its paw.
It may also be that the cat can throw foreign objects into the water bowl, food, for example.
It is impossible to give an exact answer to this question, but experts have found an explanation.
Why does a cat touch water?
1. The cat determines whether there is water in the saucer and at what distance the surface of the water is so that water does not get into its nose.
2. Perhaps the pet decided to have some fun. In this case, young animals may even spill all the water from the bowl.
3. It may be that the cat is simply uncomfortable drinking water in this position due to its age or for other reasons.
In general, such behavior is not considered strange and there is no need to wean your pet off such habits.
