Hello everyone, Thanks for the past help. This is an issue that was not as serious as the one we had with our male but it is becoming progressively more often. Our female cat, Peanut, which is a Russian Blue mix drinks her water with her paw. She has always done this and occassionally would splash the water. Now everytime she wants a drink she soaks the kitchen with splashings. We do not believe that it is the bowl because we keep it and all the animal dishes very clean. She also goes over to our dog's water bowl and does the same thing. Our dog and cats share their water bowls with each other. They are on opposite sides of the kitchen but depending on which direction they enter from and how thursty they are they will stop at the closest bowl. How can we stop this splashing before it starts to ruin the kitchen floor or become a slipping accident? As always thank you for your thoughts and advice. Regards, Doug

I have a six month old cat that recently adopted me. :) He has an interesting little quirk - before eating or drinking out of his dishes, he does a brief "two-step" dance in front of the dish. It lasts about ten seconds, and is very distinct, almost like a ritual. I asked the vet when I took him in for a check-up, shots, and to be neutered, but she shrugged and said he was just "quirky". He checked out fine otherwise. I was just wondering if anyone had seen this before, and/or had any ideas what he's up to? Thanks!
