Oh interesting. Yeah I've got one cat who will just turn around after eating kibbles and just stay drinking, whereas the other one will run to the bathroom and meow for us to turn on the tap a little

Cats are extremely sensitive to smells and make lots of decisions based on how things smell.

The funny thing is, they're wildly inconsistent about what smells are fit to have near food, what smells are inedible and what smells are offensive enough to try and fix.

Also, pheromones.
