Fatass is 16, and ever since the past winter when I had a pot of water
on the floor in the bedroom for humidity, she comes in early in the
morning and drinks from it for a good minute.  She also drinks from her
regular water dish, but not with the same voracity.  Since she sees the
pot as a water source now, I refill it and keep it clean, even though I
don't really need it there anymore.

She is perfectly healthy - good checkups every year (That last one in
Nov.), eats, plays, sleeps, purs, and is very social...Just seems odd
that in the past few months she has been drinking more than usual.

One other odd think that I have recently noticed - I recently switched
to a clumping litter, and she seems to taste it every time she goes in
the box...not eating a ton of it, just a lick or two before she does
her business...Now I have had a dog that used to eat his own sh.t, but
I have never heard of a cat doing anything like that...Anyone ever hear
of this?

Thanks,

Bluesman
