When a cat's paw touches water, the cat may react by shaking its paw or trying to lick the water off. Cats generally do not like getting their paws wet and may avoid water if possible.
A cat uses its paw to drink water by dipping it into the water and then licking the water off its paw. This helps the cat to control the amount of water it drinks and also keeps its fur dry.
Cats may put their paw in water out of curiosity, to test the temperature, or to play with the water.
Dipping your cat's paw in the water bowl is not an effective way to stop it from drinking water. It may cause stress and discomfort for your cat. Instead, ensure your cat has access to fresh water at all times and consider consulting a veterinarian if you have concerns about your cat's water intake.
A cat's paw is generally about a half inch to three quarters of an inch wide. The part of the paw that touches the ground is about the same front to back. The part of the foot that we call the heel actually is considerably further back; cats are perpetually on tip-toe when they walk, in human terms. The heel on a cat's hind leg is typically four or five inches away from his toes, but only actually touches the ground when he is sitting. The heel of his front paw is about two inches away from the front of his paw.
Cats may put their paw in the water bowl to test the water temperature, play with the water, or to drink water more comfortably.
