@Hester@sunny.garden Our cat does not do that. Instead she sits by the water bowl and howls. Howling finished she laps at the water like a normal cat. She is the third cat we have had that does this. It started with one who had a broken tooth and apparently drinking water was painful. So she would howl a few times then drink. Her fellow kitty quickly picked up the song of her people. We took both in and found the first needed dental care. But they continued to howl before drinking and when the first howler passed on we adopted another old kitty . Who quickly learned to howl at the water. We watched out daughters 3 cats while they were on a trip for 2 weeks. After they came back a day or so later she called and asked why are all three of her cats howling at the water bowl. Told her apparently they learned it and think they are supposed to howl before drinking. But to mention it if you take them to the vet just in case. We are going to let this kitty pass before we adopt another oldster so maybe the cycle will be broken.
