That's quite an amazing article Ron.

Quite amazing. I've often stared at them while they lap up water as it's quite fascinating how it all works. Thanks for posting Ron.

Good luck Bart

Cat are notorious for going into zen yoga trances (read totally motionless for the next 2 hours) whenever you want them to do something.
