We all know that dogs use their paws to dig the ground after they finish pooping or cats, but some cats use their paws to dig the ground before drinking water. What is the reason? Let me give you a brief introduction. Interested friends can come and have a look.
1. The water is not clean
Cats love to clean and have very high requirements for drinking water. If the water provided to them is not clean, the cat may use its front paws to dig the ground when drinking water. Therefore, the owner can check whether the cat's water has foreign objects or odors, and replace the cat with fresh water to see if the cat still has this behavior.
2. Leave a smell
Cats have a strong sense of territory, and they just have sweat glands on their claws, so they use their claws to dig the ground before drinking water. At the same time, they indicate that this is its territory and the water source belongs to them. Therefore, if you have a family of multiple cats, the owner should pay attention to preparing more litter boxes for the cats.
