Hmm...interesting! Is there something different about the bowls themselves? Are they made out of different materials, or different sizes? I know dogs tend to slurp up their water, does theirs get refilled more often?

we do that too!! i think maybe because our table is up higher than the dog water bowls...so instead of jumping all the way up on the table to get water its easier to just walk over and get some from the dogs bowls. im a real lazy cat...MOL

i think it's all for dominance....i have two sisters in the house with me, and i love to run over to whatever water bowl they happen to be at and push them out of the way to drink "their" water. This is when I'm not already making the rounds to all 3 of the water bowls.

Perhaps you like drinking out of the dog's water bowl to show the dog just who is the boss!!

When I was new here, Mom was very worried because I never drank out of my water bowl. The level never went down!
Turns out I was drinking from Molly's! (Molly was my doggy sister)
Because of her arthritis, she had raised bowls. I had to teeter on the edge to drink, but I did it! I also tried to eat her food, but it was way too big for me.
I really looked up to Molly!

I thought I was the only one that drank from a glass squeakers. Before my mom got me a fountain water bowl I would only drink out of the bathroom faucet or a water glass and I dont mean one that was just sitting next to my bowl. I would have to see them fill it up and at first it was meant for someone else. But after mom got tired of me stealing her water she would fill me up a glass when she got one for herself.

I drink water from glasses, also. If I cannot fit my face in the glass, I will put my paw in the glass, and lick my paw. I will also try to tuyrn over the glass and then drink the water. My mom has also started drinking out of glasses with lids on them. I have even tried chamomile tea (hot, of course) and like it. My mom lets me drink that out of her cup, of course, it has a siamese on it. ha ha
