This hilarious clip of a cat with a drinking problem has gone viral
Some cats like their drinks as fresh as they can be – choosing to lap water straight from the tap, and usually when you’re trying to brush your teeth. Of course, there are also cats that will turn their noses up at a fresh bowl of water in favour of slurping away at a puddle in the street, but they’re not our concern right now. Twitter user, Mads, has one of those tap-hogging cats, but he doesn’t seem to have quite got the hang of it.

If only he could work out what the big furry thing is that keeps getting in his way. The clip has had over five million views and has been shared almost 150k times.
It seems taps aren’t the only thing cat owners should be keeping an eye on.

One cat found a way around the problem, by catching it at a different point.

It made us think of a particular moment from the classic comedy film, Airplane, and it wasn’t just us.

Someone named @atshitshisalad shared footage that makes us think that cats have soulmates.
