i have one cat that puts his paw in the water and drinks from his paw.

My cat will drink only running water. (e.g. from the faucet) I had to buy him a water fountain because he started turning on the faucet to get a drink (elongated handle). I was afraid he'd flood the bathroom. :)

Sounds like a Maine Coon Cat. The study also apparently says that cats don’t get their chins wet when they drink. Our current two MC’s and previous usually have a very wet chin.

"i have one cat that puts his paw in the water and drinks from his paw."

Any "Maine Coon" cat in his ancestry?? This seems to be a breed attribute. All the pure-bred and mixed "Coons" we have had did the same.
