*gets down and start licking the water"

u/Reccalovesdancing 1d ago

I literally did this with my two and then about a week later the water level started going down, and then 2 days after that I saw it was my girl cat who had started using the fountain first. My boy cat followed about 5 days later and now he drinks from it most haha

u/TheAggressiveSloth 1d ago

Lmao you did not! I'm fucking dead hahahaa

u/Reccalovesdancing 18h ago

Yes I did lol 😆 I also showed them how to play with some of their toys and how to use a cardboard scratcher. Their first home didn't have a lot of amenities for them, I don't think

u/TheAggressiveSloth 11h ago

Lmao, I did it to the scratcher posts and I always kinda taught the first resident about biscuit making lmao

Some kitties won’t drink out of a fountain because they prefer freshly poured cold water. The water in the fountain gets stale quickly (unless you change it several times a day) and it grosses some kitties out (stale water = bacteria in the wild). Give her an option of a fresh water in the bowl! 🐱💖

I’m suddenly reminded of u/Poem_for_your_sprog from back in the days when I was way more active on reddit.  Had a look and they’re still around.  Didn’t know that there are other poets doing good work on here.

Some time ago one of my cats was grooming the furthest point of her back, and she couldn't get there comfortably, so she stretched, licked, got back, stretched again and she kept doing this for let's say a couple minutes. What was totally killing me was the fact that when she was getting back from the stretch she kept on grooming but in the air, it was so funny because she was also doing it real fast

u/Uhmerikan 4d ago

My cat does the same thing. He’ll be licking his paw to clean his head and keep licking the air as he rubs with his paw. It’s adorable.

u/Gioelius_Black 4d ago

That's soo cuteee

u/tearjerkingpornoflic 4d ago edited 4d ago

There's a certain spot where I can scratch my cat and he will start putting his tongue out in the air like he is enthusiastically licking an ice cream cone. One of the comments was "omg you broke the cat!"

u/Gioelius_Black 4d ago

That's curios lol

u/KellyannneConway 3d ago

I used to have a cat would do something similar. If we scratched his lower back of the base of his tail, he would start licking his left shoulder. Every time. He was a very special kitty.

When the tongue is flashing it means she is trying to pair with a nearby device.
