I've seen her splashing around in the communal water bowl but I guess she's found a new source for fun. She really gets waaay in there too. When she flew out in terror at being seen (she's semi-feral, so sometimes being viewed by a human is tantamount to being chased with an machete), her boots were all nice and wet.
I've caught my cats doing that a few times. It might mean that they want fresh drinking water...I make a point of changing their water out frequently, and haven't seen them doing it for a long time..
More likely it's a statement about the water bowls being too clean!
I think she just likes flinging deep water with her paws. It's what she does in the big water bowl too - I can tell when Mo's been drinking because the kitchen floor has puddles. Or I can hear her. And then when I peak around the corner - FOOOOOOSH! She flies away.
Maybe I'll set up my cat water fountain again, though I dunno if it'll float her boat. I've got 2 faucet fan cats, but Mo appears to be the only deep-sea fisher.
I caught my kitten doing this, got him just in time, before he disappeared down the drain, no joke! I pulled him out by his hind legs, don't know what attracted him, but he was literally trying to crawl down the drain! My cats are too big now, but a hazard for a kitten!
My Tommy does this as well, despite having bowls of water both upstairs and downstairs! He splashes awhile, then unravels the roll of toilet paper all over the bathroom! What a boy!
