We have a similar situation, we have a kitten that is about 6 months old and she is so fascinated with our water cooler we now put a bit of water in the cup down the bottom of it for her to play with.
She even plays with the water before she has a drink. And when we have a shower she likes to be sitting at the door watching the water. When we get out of the shower she will go in there and sit down and look up waiting for the shower to turn on.
I have even found when I go in the bathroom to brush my teeth she comes running in to watch the water and sticks her paws under the tap. It?s very cute but very weird.
I am not sure why she does it but I sort of assumed it was because when we got her we gave her heaps of baths. I am so happy now that I am not the only one that has a cat that likes water.

Cat is amzed with water by: catwhisperer
Your cat sounds like my little kitty Tillman. He has been playing in water from the day we got him. He was only 3 weeks old when his momma died so we took him in. He had been found in a flooded basement and had 2 other brothers who were much bigger than him.
From day 1 he loved splashing in the water, getting soaked. Then 2 weeks later he heard the water running in the sink and he found his way up there, jumped in and played.
He is now 9 months and loves water in sinks and bathtubs. We now have a fountain outside on our patio and we put sea shells in the bottom. He stalks these and splashes for hours. He even enjoys his monthly baths. It is cool to see that I am not the only one with a water cat. LOL
