    Is this also why my cat drinks from the far side of the bowl?

        Tell that to my cat who does anything and everything in her power to drink out of mugs and half full glasses when she has a nice wide fountain full of fresh, clean, filtered water 5 feet away.

        Sometimes moving water, too - and some are funny about material I think!

        My current cat won’t drink from metal bowls, and loves a water fountain most.

        they have a hard time seeing water

        When my cat was a tiny kitten learning to drink from a bowl he would always dip his face in too far and get a nose full of water, causing him to sneeze. He learned to always dip his paw in the water first to see where the surface is before putting his face in. He still does it every single time. It’s pretty cute.
