A cat I used to have would do that with a jar of powdered coffee creamer. I thought it was the funniest thing.

That cat is NOT dumb — its water bowl is too small. Feeling the sides of a small bowl brush against its whiskers will drive a cat insane. This cat compromised.

He's not drinking. He's washing his socks.

i've had cats that did that. it's not new. cats are just weird.

…My cat does that all the time.

You guys are all way too critical. If you pay REALLY close attention to :32 you'll see that the cat teleports out of the room and returns with spring water from Fiji. It happens really fast though, so you have to have to keep your eyes peeled.

Come on… almost all cat do that.

Talk about anticlimactic.

“How the dumbest cat in the world drinks water”? That should say, “How the dumbest cat owner in the world thinks of his cat”. Lots of cats do this, including my own male cat that is smart enough to learn to do a few simple tricks on command. Cats paw at their water because they want to drink it when it's moving. Give the cat a pet drinking fountain and he won't play in the water with his paws anymore.

My cat puts his leg up in the air and then LICKS HIS OWN ASS. I think he might be some sort of uber cat genius or something.

that's how my kitty drinks too

Yup, one of my cats only drinks this way.

New tag needed: “Common”

My cat Suki does this sometimes. She just does it when she wants to be fancy.

I had a cat who drank water this way too. I think it's farily common.

My cat does this some times, he's super fussy and has a really high opinion of himself. I think he does it when he wants to dignified

My cat drinks this way and occasionally he will eat his food the same.

My cat does this all the time too.. there's nothing particularly unique about it. :\
