Yes, and also they have a hard time seeing water. They prefer wide, shallow dishes for both food and water.
Tell that to my cat who does anything and everything in her power to drink out of mugs and half full glasses when she has a nice wide fountain full of fresh, clean, filtered water 5 feet away.
If I don’t put out random cups of water for her around the house so she can think she’s stealing from MY cup, she’ll try to drink from mine every time
My cat won’t drink from her fountain if you watch her, it’s a private activity.
Sometimes moving water, too - and some are funny about material I think!
My current cat won’t drink from metal bowls, and loves a water fountain most.
When my cat was a tiny kitten learning to drink from a bowl he would always dip his face in too far and get a nose full of water, causing him to sneeze. He learned to always dip his paw in the water first to see where the surface is before putting his face in. He still does it every single time. It’s pretty cute.
