Tuxedo cats and water
Some years ago we had a black tuxedo cat named Pepper who would follow me into the bathroom, climb into the sink, and demand a drink from the tap. He would let the water run off his cheek or forehead as he lapped it up. Afterwards he would climb onto my back and sit for a couple of minutes before leaving the bathroom.
Pepper was a cool cat. I was very sad when he died.
My current tuxedo cat, Simon, has the same habit, except that he drinks from his paw. I like the way the little drops of water look in this photo.
And the sparkle of water on his face in this photo is neat, too.

That first shot is superb! And his expression in the 2nd, hehe. I didn’t know those are called Tuxedo Cats. We had a neighbor cat named Tito when I was a kid who looked just like that. I liked Tito and was sad when a farmer (we rented a house on a dairy farm in England) accidentally killed him.
@BigToePeople - I learned about ‘tuxedo’ when we were getting Pepper his shots. The white shirt-front/tie with the black coat looks like a suit.
He’s got it pretty good! Cute shots!
Cats love running water! I just read where you can buy a special cat fountain, so they can have running water at all times.
@WildWomanOfTheWest - Thank you.
@suzyQ_darnit - Yeah, some of those indoor fountains are popular with cats.
