Your comment was very touching. I’m so sorry to hear about Oscar. I lost a cat a few years back that was 15 years old. And even though she sure had a nice long run, it still was crushing. I sure hope Oscar continues to feel better.

My almost 14-yr old cat Oscar suddenly started moving his water dish a few years ago. It would invariably wake us up at night–that unmistakable sound of a heavy ceramic dish being pushed across the kitchen floor. Finally I just moved the dish to a carpeted room to stop the torture, but he kept on doing it anyway.

Well, old Oscar suddenly became very ill on Friday & had to be rushed to the emergency vet because he could barely walk. Turns out he has heart disease. I was agonizing over euthanasia Sunday and yesterday, but miraculously he’s better today. Not ok, just not lying there like he’s dead.

To make a long story short, the emergency vet said her cat did the same thing with head-butting its water dish. So you are not alone in having a weird cat! Now I’d give anything to hear that middle-of-the-night sound again.

When Atty runs out of water she picks up her bowl and slams it into my walls. Of course Atty has some anger management issues.

my cat maxy likes to pull her water bowl around. she puts her paw inside the bull and pulls it toward her or to the side. i think she thinks its fun!! like, “look what i can do!” also, i think she likes that sound of the bowl moving across the floor. i never thought about it like maybe she doesn’t like where the bowl is. cuz when i try to put her bowl in other places, she doesn’t like it at all. sometimes i put lots of bowls out to test and she still goes for that one that she can slide around with her paw. :)
