I'm really surprised by this, because I have cats as well as dogs, but I have never known cats to not just drink from a tap but put their entire head under a full running tap and soak their head - enjoying the experience!
I had a tawny owl called Bootlace who drank water out of a glass pint pot with a handle. Wish I'd video'd her doing her odd things! She had a thing about diving in the kitchen sink and would land into a soaking dish and start bathing.. one Sunday she landed in a chicken fat baking tray!! Took ages to get her dry lol
