Bubba has always been sort of an odd duck. He likes to drink fresh water from the water bowl.
When Jen puts the fresh water down, he’ll kick it out of the bowl onto the tray.
He likes to kick the water around and out of the bowl.
He likes to stand in the water.
And then he’ll lick it off his feet.
See? I told you he was weird!
Oh no, not weird. I used to have a kitty that did almost the same thing…stand in the water and lick from the paw. Brothers from another mother?

Posted by rumpydog | April 30, 2014, 5:36 AMThat’s very clever, Bubba has a foot bath and a drink… that’s what they call “all inclusive” in some hotels :o)
Posted by easyweimaraner | April 30, 2014, 5:34 AMMaybe, but does he have to do that in MY water bowl?
Posted by rumpydog | April 30, 2014, 5:36 AMMy cat too!! 😀
Posted by DailyMusings | April 30, 2014, 5:34 AMUh oh! It’s a conspiracy!
Posted by rumpydog | April 30, 2014, 5:36 AMI haven’t heard it before 🙂 So lovely, 🙂 Thanks and Love, nia
Posted by niasunset | April 30, 2014, 5:41 AMAnd you see lots of cats that you photograph! I told ya he was different!
Posted by rumpydog | April 30, 2014, 5:43 AMCould he possibly have hurt that paw and is trying to heal it ?
Posted by morristownmemos by Ronnie Hammer | April 30, 2014, 5:49 AMNo, he’s always done that.
Posted by rumpydog | April 30, 2014, 6:02 AMMaybe Bubba wants to be clean and washes his paws before he drinks. Of course, then he drinks from the bowl so he’s sending mixed messages. 🙂
Posted by Hi folks. It's BJ Pup | April 30, 2014, 6:16 AMYes!
Posted by rumpydog | April 30, 2014, 6:25 AMOh! Our third adopted cat ‘Tora’ does the same, when he drinks water!!! We thought it was only Tora who does it! Bubba does, too! 🙂
Posted by eripanwkevin | April 30, 2014, 6:49 AMI have that same tray! Bubba’s not weird he just likes what he likes. Our cat trixie puts her paw in the water bowl and drinks from her paw. She doesn’t do it all the time, but it is cute when she does.

Posted by Jenna,Mark “HuskyCrazed” Drady | April 30, 2014, 8:40 AMI had a cat who did the same thing. The heart wants what the heart wants….
Posted by kanzensakura | April 30, 2014, 9:50 AMI (Frankie Furter) used to SPLASH my water out all over the place… butt mom got a bowl that I can’t do it with any longer. ERNIE puts his paws in the water when he gets hot.
Posted by Frankie and Ernie | April 30, 2014, 10:24 AMCool! A bath and drink all in one!

Posted by Marty the Manx | April 30, 2014, 6:40 PMMaybe Bubba’s just testing that water out. You know … checking the depth, temperature and such. 🙂
Posted by meowmeowmans | April 30, 2014, 9:02 PMOh Bubba, we adore eccentric cats 😀
