Pearl does that. I don't get it either.

He is telling you that you have made him wait much to long -- that
the bowl should be full at all times!

My oldest boy, a huge Russian Blue with a (count em) fourteen
inch tail, has a similar behavior. We feed soft cat food in small
portions several times a day and have crunchies out all the time.
Before he will eat crunchies, my Smoky wants you to 'touch' them. He
will let out these long "ooowwww"s till one of us follows him to the
crunchie spot, fluffs up his crunchies, and tells him what a good boy
he is.
>No, I don't understand either.
I don't even try.

Felix does this sometimes. He'll also at times insist that I pet him
to get him to start eating his evening dose of canned food.

Djoser is this way. He wants me to handle the food in the automatic
feeder (sometimes it gets hung up inside) and then pet him while he
eats. Double the pleasure! ;-)

Mike likes me to tap the bowl so that my fingernail makes the little
ringy noise and say "here you go," and then stand and watch while he
starts eating. Once he's had a bite or two, I can leave. Silly cat.

Speaking of petting and eating Harvey will jump onto the bathroom
counter plop his self down wait ever so patiently until you turn on
the water in the sink so he can enjoy a drink. Yet no matter how long
he has waited for you to come in and appease him he won't begin
drinking until you pet and stroke him reassurring him that yes it is
okay to lap up the water from the facuet. So not only does he get A.
the treat of drinking out of the bathroom sink and B. having his human
servants at his beck and call (you have to stand there and wait for
him to finish [witch could take anywhere from 3 seconds to 10 mins] so
that you can turn off the water) but C. he also gets in a petting
session. Yet I can't complain because I'm the one who loves to spoil
him.
P.S. I'm Harveys Mommy and I miss him something fierce. He is being
well taken care of by his Uncle in Florida until me and my Fiance can
drive down and pick him up and bring him to live with us in Virgina.
Hopefully it will be just after Easter.

Hello, Harvey's mom! If Harvey won't be living with Lots42 any more,
I do hope you will post to this group to tell us about him. We need
to keep up to date on Harvey; he sounds like a darling. :-)

I can always talk about my dogs. (Kidding!)
I never quite noticed Harvey's 'plan' to get to the Wonderful Sink Water. I
just end up turning it on or I find him at an activated faucet 'cuz he's
bothered my mom enough.
I have shown him that water can OMG be put into containers and placed on the
floor

Of course you can talk about your dogs. They'd be honorary cats, and
not the only ones in this ng.
My Mike likes the sink water too, and utterly disdains his water bowl
**unless** I put a camellia in it. He loves camellia water. Maybe he
and Harvey are secretly related.

Yep. Mike will run right over you to get to a vase of camellias,
knock it over, and drink the water. A few years ago I gave up and
started sticking one in his water bowl every day. They are almost
finished blooming for this year, though - poor Mikey! He'll have to
go back to just having a couple of grapes smooshed and plopped in his
water whenever he hollers for them. This is *not* a spoiled kitty.
Not at all.
