Mistress buys luxurious drinking fountain, but her cat has a different plan
Net - A funny video showing a cat that prefers to drink from a simple bowl rather than an expensive drinking fountain has made many viewers laugh.
In the short clip on her TikTok channel "gingertuxedocatco", the owner of two cats shows that her expensive purchase was unfortunately pretty much in vain.
The clip shows an elegant high-tech water fountain placed on the kitchen floor - presumably to entice one of the cats to drink in style.
However, the star of the clip - a black and white velvet paw - prefers to drink from a normal water bowl placed nearby instead.
"That was money well spent," the pet owner wrote ironically about her video, which quickly went viral.
The humorous contrast between the owner's efforts to improve her pet's lifestyle and the cat's indifference was well received by viewers.
Expensive drinking fountain simply ignored: TikTok users amused by indifferent cat
"Maybe they just don't like the metallic taste of the bowl - my cats only drink water from ceramic bowls," suggested one viewer.
Another user added: "Cats feel they can't trust a water source if it doesn't look like their owners do. That's why they might drink from other cups standing around because they've seen people drinking from them."
