[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KswnjMa-MQ) Cats drinking out of a running tap isn’t unusual, but I have NEVER seen a cat get its water in such a unique and funny way before. I’ve watched it at least 20 times and I still laugh every time. (I know it’s wasting water but it’s still funny) ---

It’s kinda cute but I don’t thinks it’s funny at all. And that cat seemed to be damned thirsty. I have to wonder if the owner withheld water from it. ---

Meh. You’re right… wasting water. But then I’m not much of a cat person. ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > It’s kinda cute but I don’t thinks it’s funny at all. And that cat seemed to be damned thirsty. I have to wonder if the owner withheld water from it. There are other videos of the cat on YouTube. I think it just likes the feel of the water. [Here’s another one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yXn_PaClGI) where he’s more playing in the water than drinking. Though I did wonder at first if the cat was diabetic, thus thirsty all the time. ---

My late cat Zoe used to like sticking her head under taps, though not when they were running that hard. I don’t think you can assume the cat was water deprived. Some cats just have strange likes. ---

Yeah, I gotta say, if that cat’s trying to get a drink, he’s doing it wrong–towards the end there, he appeared to be sticking his _ear_ into the water for considerable periods of time. I think he just likes to stick his head into running water; Bastet only knows why. ---

Gotta love the Hubbard/Shaw in the background. ---

I thought it was hilarious! Cats crack me up anyway. Thanks for the link. ---

I prefer this video, made by a couple who had to start closing the bathroom door whether it was occupied or not: [Obsession](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WofFb_eOxxA) ---

[This one is much funnier](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROrvNcfyikg&feature=related) as it involves psychological drama and suspense as well. ---

I think it was trying to drown out the jazz music. Actually, another vote for “he likes the feeling” over being thirsty. Or just the standard cat explanation; cats are weird. ---

My cat does that, though not to the extent that this cat does it. He drinks out of the faucet and after a minute or two sticks his whole head under there. When he is finished he insists that you pet his wet head.
