Cats And Their Ridiculously Pompous Water Drinking Habits

Oh, cats... they have some of the strangest habits we have ever seen in an animal. From cats' strange fascination with fresh laundry, having to put their booties on our warm clothes right after they come out of the dryer, to cats' eternally weird obsession with human food, having to put their paws in it even when they know it's food that they won't like. And now, we're gonna talk about cats and their ridiculously pompous water drinking habits.

Some cats will be normal about it, and then there are the ones that will have a whole ritualistic dance around their water bowl before drinking. It's hard to get cats to be interested in their water sometimes, and there are creative ways that you can get your cats do drink, but to be honest, we think some of them are just being jerks on purpose and enjoying having us run around and serve them.

We can only imagine these pompous picky little felines trying to survive in the wild smh. They look at us and think that they are the rulers of the whole world, that they have everything under their control. Yet, the will not drink their heckin' water if there is a single speck of dust in it. God, we love them so much.

This might be one of our favorite things about cats - the desire to play with water even though they absolutely hate it. It is as if they re saying that they are totally fine with getting wet, it simply has to be under their chosen circumstances, and honestly, we cannot even fault them for that.
