Obsessed cat refuses to drink from bowl demands only running water! 

We got ours a small fountain. And wet food over dry food.

That’s the way my mom’s cat is. Get your cat a water fountain.

It makes sense, because their instinct tells them, running water is fresh water. Standing water, maybe not so fresh and clean. That's why a lot of cats prefer running water, if available.

My cat has the same habit, he does not like to drink from a bowl, he always jumps on a sink and rubs the tap asking me to open it.
