Why does my cat drink out of the toilet?

Question

He's got a perfectly good water bowl but he prefers toilet water. Why?

Lliam · Accepted Answer

LOL Only a cat like that would be large enough to drink out of a toilet like a dog.

We've had cats that sometimes hopped up onto the counter and drink from the faucet when we turn it on for them. It's like, if we were in there washing out hands or something and the cat heard the water, it would jump up. Then we would turn the faucet on low and step back while the cat drank the best water in the whole world. Way better than the water from the same tap that we just filled its bowl with. LOL

I have a cat now who stands next to the toilet and puts its front paws up on the rim when I pee. He looks down with fascination into the toilet to watch the stream hitting the water. Maybe the sound attracts him. Who knows what cats think? 🤣🤣

Omg lol Do not allow it to do that there are lots of coliform bacteria in those areas which are really really harmful against health , and this case may result in your cat's stomach is full of deadly microorganisms and break down the normal microflora of its gastrointestinal track can also lead to you to have contagious disease spread around due of touching it , caressing it , kissing it or etc. . Soon , that innocent thing's immune sytem can be fataly damaged and will not be the same again. Just prevent it close the door of the bathroom.

Maybe because the water is like warm already in the bowl. A glass of water that's been sitting in my room for hours or a fresh glass of water, ice cold. Choice easily made.
O and you left the door open, lid up. No!

My cat would sit in the bathroom sink all day until someone came in to use the toilet. Then she would finally get her fresh water from the bathroom sink. She was a very patient kitty 😺

wagsingle · Answer

Cats favor fresh water. You probably flush the toilet substantially more often than you replace the water in his bowl. That's why they often drink from there bowl right after you change it. I have a bowl with an upside down bottle of water that keeps it full. Sometimes I hear my 2 cats pushing it around. They have figured out that pushing it to one side makes fresh water bubble down. So they do it all the time.

NathanDavis · Answer

cast usually prefer fresh water...

if the water in the bowl has been sitting for a longer time than the toilet water has been flushed then maybe that is why

another reason would be, cause... someone leaves the bathroom door open, lol

Fireguy17 · Answer

No clue, I had one that liked to watch it flush, and would come into the bathroom put his feet on the toilet and meow until you flushed it.
He would look at you when it was done flushing like you were a God making it do that.

I would think a cat would be too small for that. My 20 pound dog drinks out of the toilet and passes up the water bowl unless I just filled it and even then he's a bit snobby about it. They like the fresh water taste. You ever drank put of a glass of water that's been sitting on the night stand for a day or two. It doesn't taste very good.

AviatorTom · Answer

Two reasons... 1. It's at a better height for drinking than the water bowl 2. There's extra smells and flavor

exitseven · Answer

Everyone knows that water out of the toilet has a little something extra.

Fuentes · Answer

You know animals sometimes copy their human. Maybe you should stop the bad habit first.

Waldoe · Answer

Because he can... who in the "F" would try to stop him?

ohshee · Answer

I think cats are lovers I think they can see themselves in the water and as they're licking their they think you're kissing somebody else

Cats like fresh or running water. If it is stagnate at all they won't drink it over any fresh source available. Since the toilet water changes and runs far more often. Get a cat fountain.

He’s a degenerate weeb and understands that real girls can be Waifus. He’s probably thinking, “mmmmmm my humans bodily fluids are in here AAAAHO-“

That’s supposed to be funny, not weird by the way

Snsl153 · Answer

He may have a "perfectly good water-bowl", but how often do you put water in it?

Dargil · Answer

That is one big Kitty. Lion, perhaps?  If you flush, it's cold, fresh and clean.

They like being included where you've been I don't know something like that, just shut the lid if you don't want them to do it I do
