I have an 11-month-old neutered male named Tony. He doesn't drink water out of his water dish. He will only drink from the kitchen faucet or bathtub faucet. Whenever he hears either, he comes running.



I have a fear that he will become dehydrated or have other problems due to this.



Can anyone help me with this problem?



(None of my other cats are this way. We think Tony is mostly Turkish Angora (who love the water, I think) -- is this why?)



THANK YOU...Keely
