Obviously it's an otter. Otters love water.

Move the water 6-8' feet away from the food, preferably move it to another room entirely. Cats in the wild stash their kills to eat later and instinctually won't drink from water sources near food unless there's no other source available. My cat will drink out of puddles in the yard over her dish if the dish is anywhere near her food.
Yours is probably pretty content with the water situation in the bathroom but if it's a pain you could switch the shower bucket to a smaller bowl and then move it a few inches a day from the shower to whatever other room you want to water the cat in.

And then there's my cat, who stashes small toys in his food dish and water fountain to save for later. Some cat owners worry about stepping in wet cat vomit barefoot in the dark, I worry about stepping on a wet stuffed toy he waterboarded in the fountain.

I water my cat twice a day.

It may be worth trying a fountain too if moving the water bowl doesn't help. Cats tend to prefer moving water sources because in the wild they're safer. My cats love theirs.

Huh, I started putting the water in the bowl with the food because she wasn't drinking enough (now she yells and shakes her tail at me if I don't, she loves her poor man's wet cat food) maybe keeping the water bowl next to the food is the problem, I'll try moving it to another room to see if that helps. Thanks.

I used to live with a cat who only drank from the can people used to water the indoor plants. Weird furry fuzzbutts be weird.

"Where's fishies? Is there fishies in this pond? Must catch the fishies ...:

It's enough to have 2 blocks large piece of water to catch a fish from it in Minecraft you know.

My friend had a cat like that. The kitty was named Bob because when they went to pick out a kitten, he managed to get into the toilet and was just bobbing around. My friend went to the bathroom, saw the silly wet kitten and fell in love.
They had to keep him inside during the winters because he'd go swimming and come back with icicles all over his fur. He just really loved water.

Don't drink the muddy puddle water, kitty! Do you want to get giardia? Because that's how you get giardia!

My guess is they have white carpet.

The elusive puddle o' catnip

Catnip flavoured puddle by looks of it.

Clearly she grew up with dogs.

Russian Blues are insane. I totally see mine doing something like this.

MIL has a cat that *appears (not confirmed, but looks exactly like one) to be a Russian blue, can confirm, though he hates water, he loves to drink ice water from the beer cooler, roll in dead things, and he's in a committed long term relationship with the stray girl who had his kittens in the yard six months ago. I caught and adopted one of them, and she will only eat if I wet her food, is the most communicative cat I've ever known, and likes to strut around with her toys after she's managed to snatch it out of my hand. She also caught a mouse and had to carry it around the house for awhile to show it off. Good girl!

Same lol

I think this is what my kitten is going to look like when he's grown! I'm so excited, I've been trying to find a picture to imagine it!

Awhh i remember being this excited about how my cat would look all grown up :)
2
We haven't had a kitten for a loooooong time, and one of ours has been pretty odd looking. The other it was easy to guess what he'd look like!

This is exactly what my MIL's cat looks like, (except he's missing patches of fur because he likes to fight) and he's the father of my cat. I know it for sure because he likes to eat kittens he doesn't father, mom's a stray, and she kept them in "his" yard, and he not only didn't eat her or her brother, but he also let them share his food bowl, even letting them eat before he did. I'm watching her grow up, and I'm so excited by how much she's growing to look like him.

Wow, this comment was a wild ride LOL. We have a tuxedo cat who's 6 months old and he's just been looking like bigger versions of his kitten self, but the little gray one has gone through about 5 different "looks" now. He's the second most unpredictable looking cat we've had... there was a kitten we got years ago who was solid white except for two brownish gray streaks on the edges of his ears, and when he was grown he turned into a gorgeous ragdoll with those Siamese markings and white slippers. THAT was a shock for sure!

WTF kind of PCP Catnip he gets into?

My cat used to hunt rocks in our irrigation lines. She’d get up to her brisket and spend hours playing in the muddy water. Hauling up rocks and letting them drop. She was always clean when she came inside. Cats dry fast.

What a glorious weirdo.

How long has it been since you last rebooted your cat?
