Hi All,

Sumo, who you can't help but love, is one of those cats who drinks out
of the faucet.  Since we have four who drink this way, we usually let
it trickle during periods when everyone is awake.  Three of them turn
their heads sideways and neatly lap up the water as it trickles down.

Sumo, on the other hand, prefers not to do it this way.  While I've
seen him drink from the side, his preferred method is to stick his
forehead under the drip so it cascades down his face and he laps it up
as it runs past his mouth.  I believe there is something of a method
to his madness though.  The first thing he does after exiting the
bathroom is to run to Lynda who will fuss over him as she dries or at
least pets his little face.

"Oh, my boy has a wet face.  Look at that face.  Give me that wet
face.  How did my boy get such a wet face? (This goes on for some
time, depending on how long Sumo will put up with being babied.)

For all I know he just does it his way, not out of ignorance, just so
he *can* be babied.

Regards and Purrs,
O J
