When it is cold enough outside, the warmer household air tends to condense at the bottom of the window pane.
It does have to be fairly cold, though. I just checked the window, but it is only -5C/23F outside, and that does not appear to be a significant enough temperature difference because there is no condensation this morning.
So, Lacey will not be able to slake her thirst by licking the window this morning: at least not yet. It's early (5:30), and the house temperature is still low for sleeping. Maybe there will be window water for her when the house heats up more. We shall see.
You have lots of snow out that window. We have rain here this morning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart kitty. No chemicals in that water! My bathroom window faces the north wind, and even when I have the door closed so not much heat is going in there, I find a little bit of condensation at the base of the window. Send Lacey over!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! We too had a cat who liked to lick both pop cans and windows... and plastic bags!

🙂 pets never cease to surprise us.
ReplyDeleteIt probably has a different taste than ordinary water in the bowl.
ReplyDeleteI used to have one who licked plastic bags. I had to keep them all out of reach, which is no mean feat with cats!
ReplyDeleteGood to see she is doing fine.
Does seem unusual, but then out neighbor’s cat likes to drink from faucet drips.
ReplyDeleteI've seen cats do that.
