I have a kitten called Sophie, a cute fluffy little grey/brown/black bundle of fun that has a very strange habit and i wonder if anyone else has a kitten with similar. When she goes to drink from the water dish, she seems to circle it like a vulture circling its prey, she paws at the ground then seems to drink from one corner

Oh bless! I've not seen/heard that one before.

My cat won't drink from a bowl that's anywhere near his food dish. We now have his food dish in the kitchen and 2 water bowls in the living room.

Ive had around 6 cats since the kids were small and none of them did that though i did have one cat that liked to snuzzle into you, making the area soaking wet but i think thats cos she wasnt old enough to be taken from her mother, beautiful white fluffy one that made her home on next doors bird table

Sophie sometimes claws the drawer unit next to her food dish too

I had a cay years ago that broke it's leg and the whole limb was set in plaster of paris. She quickly learned that if she banged the leg with the cast on it non-stop on the patio window that it became very very irritating and we'd have to get up to let her in.

My white cat, Millie, clawed the cat flap so bad that she broke it and i went through 3 of them, in the end i had to have the whole panel replaced and not bother with a cat flap. After that, she'd claw at the strip along the front door, broke that too

We had another cat from a rescue centre who had a deformed paw. One of his claws grew sideways and everytime he scratched something he'd get that claw caught as it didn't retract like the others. He ended up shredding anything he came into contact with.

My cat seldom drinks from a bowl, she prefers drinking from taps, washing bowl and puddles!

If I put 'human'food, i.e. scraps or the occassional treat of a tin of Tuna down, my two cats take it out of the bowl and eat it from the floor

Yeah my cat does that. I read once that giving cats chunks of meat to tear apart is good for their teeth. If I put some down for my cat he just plonks it on the floor and eats from there.

See I always thought my cat Sookie was a nutter for refusing to drink from her water bowl always from a tap now I feel better knowing its not just her who doesnt think she is a cat!!

Although Sookie does need the damn tap set at a fast drip all day long, you can watch her drink (a huge long drink) turn the tap off and she will sit at the bathroom door staring at the sink til you turn the tap back on, then she walks away

Ohh and if I really get miffed (cos of the constant dripping tap and turn it off) she will drink from the bowl with my floating candles in playing patti-cake with the same 2 non scented candles and batting the pebbles in the bottom of the bowl

I have a mat under Sookies food bowls and really dont know why I bother with the bowls at all, I might as well feed her from the kitchen floor, cos thats what she does with the food, doesnt even have the decency to put the food on the mat ohh no cos then it may just stop me having to wash my kitchen floor 10 times a day and maybe just maybe stop me finding cat biscuits under my fridge freezer!!!

The whole bowl gets upended on the floor she then eats what she wants and leaves whats left watches me pick it up put it back in the bowl - and I swear she has an evil glint in her eye - walks back over to the bowl and out goes the paw hey presto food all in a heap on the floor, 1 tiny little nibble and away she wanders to sleep on the back of the couch

Can I borrow your cat to train Sookie to not wake me up 5 minutes after I go to sleep when she has decided she wants fed at stupid o'clock??

Mind you maybe a short spell at Tesco might teach Sookie she is really a cat and not a short hairy human
