The Ludwig stories are an inspiration. If only I had such a zany cat. However, my cat has one very peculiar habit. He rarely drinks water from his dish like normal cats. This one sits fully upright up against the dish and very daintily dips his paw into the water, then licks his paw. He can get amazing quantities of water in a short time this way. The problem comes if I mix his catfood with too much water. He treats it like soup and uses the same hand-to-mouth technique (there is an inevitable trail of catfood pawprints away from the dish).
