Almost all mammals need generous supplies of water, and going without water will kill more quickly than starvation. This must have situation led cats to evolve an utterly original, rapid action drinking system that was only fully realized after studying special film in slow motion, much as we learned to see how a woodpecker actually does its work by using film when speed defied our vision.
But there's more. Cats seem to like to play and make games out of water. They play with food too, but their fascination and tactics surrounding water are a fascination to watch.
From a personal angle with my own amazing cats, here is my take on what's so interesting about cats and water.
