Wow, I think this cat is really smart! He doesn't like sticking his face in the rushing water from the faucet, so he figured out a way to reroute the flow with his head. In a way, the cat is using his head as a tool. This may be a really smart cat!
I have 8 cats, and two guest cats, and one thing I have learned is that when cats do shit that looks crazy, you're not looking close enough. It always makes sense to the cat.
