Is this new and normal? If this is new then I would recommend bringing Gershwin to the veterinarian for some blood work and a urine sample to evaluate for a urinary tract infection or kidney issue. If she has always done this it can be normal for some cats to gravitate towards the faucets. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
