• My cats also loves ice cubes. It’s a bit of a tradition at this point, any time I get a beverage I have to give one in their bowl.

    They don’t do much with it but an occasional lick and watch it melt but they’ll purr and stay put until it’s gone. I like it, I think it lets them feel included.

    • My cat too! Ever since he was a kitten. We call it the “ice tax”. Whenever anyone in my house uses ice for any reason my cat will run up and meow at the person and basically demand a cube. They then have to take an ice cube and throw it into the bath tub while the cat gleefully chases after it and bats it around in the bath tub.

  • I had a cat that loved this too. I’m pretty sure he could hear the tiny little trapped bubbles “sizzle” as the cube melted.

    • This has always been my theory. All the micro fractures growing. Its like us watching two e frozen lake videos where they make the lazer sounds…

  • Everytime I have an iced drink, my cat Stuart wants to put his paw in it. It is a deep, burning desire that does not abate until the glass is empty. I have to cover my drink with my hand and keep moving it around to keep it away from him.

    • I had a ferret that would do that anytime I was drinking an alcoholic beverage, but he ignored tea, soda, and water.

  • As far as I know, cats and dogs can see heat to a certain extent, so this could look really interesting to a cat.
