Why won't my cat drink from her water bowl but drinks elsewhere?

Question

My cat has recently stopped drinking out of her waterbowl (keeps eating). The past couple nights when I opened my waterbottle she will go crazy for my water. She end up drinking multiple lid fulls of water but will wait for the next night without drinking any of her own water. She used to love drinking out of the sink but wouldn't when I put her up in the sink instead started licking some water that was on the floor. I used to have to fill up her waterbowl daily. Why won't she drink her water? Pet's info: Cat | Russian Blue | Female | 14 years old | 27 lbs

I am not sure why she won't drink her water but it is most likely a behavioral issue. It is possible something scared her when she was near it. I would recommend moving the water bowl to another location. You could even buy a water drinking fountain to help stimulate interest
