Default drinking from the toilet

Just Curious...how come cats like to drink water from the toilet floor? Whenever the floor is wet and they get in it, they r sure to drink it!

I bought the water fountain, they drink from the floor...

Anyone else experienced the same thing?

Well, my Wesley drank from the bowl itself!!! Frustrating since there were ample of water prepared for him. Therefore, I closed all my toilet door all the time. I think cats r just being cats... being curious. i think u shud close ur toilet door as well since there were a lot of germs on the toilet floor....

My Bubble likes to lick my hand or leg when I just finished bathing cos ada air. My baby sometimes lick the toilet floor too if it is wet. Like Horatio, I close the cover of the toilet instead of the toilet door, cos I caught Bubbles "exploring" the toilet bowl one day. Hmmm

It's hot in Malaysia and a cat is easily dehydrated I think. Especially the thick fur cat. And maybe at that moment he cant find any source of water except in the toilet

Also, the other reason they sleep in the toilet cos it's cool in there. Oh, by the way, change the water for your cat regularly, and make sure it's there all the time, at the place where you always feed them. You know how fussy cats are! We dont call them the king and queen of the house for nothing! hahahaha!!

Yup, the cooler temperature of the toilet is the first thing that leads the cats there. The temperature of the water is also cooler in the toilet than the one in their drinking bowls if the bowls are located in an area where there is little air movement.

But not a good idea to let the cats drink any water from the toilet bowl or floor. Who knows if your floor have been thoroughly cleared of the shampoo or soap leftovers. And some people use the air freshner spray after their "big business", that too can leave some undesirable contaminants in the water on the floor if any.

wooz....
