My one year old male cat is normal in all other ways except that he
regulary upsets water out of his water bowl. When drinking he places a paw
in the water and then "paddles" the water out of the bowl onto the floor.
Why does he do this? How do I stop it? Any help would be appreciated.

FYI Cats cannot see water.
where did you hear that? AFAIK, cats can see water just as well
as humans.

The best explanaition I've heard is that water in the wild is always
better/fresher when it's running, and cats, even domesticated cats, have
that ingrained. Still water equals stale water. It does vary from cat to
cat, even in the same environment. My present cat, Willow, could care less,
but the cat that came before, Spot, LOVED drinking from the faucet or any
source of running water. But then Spot was the rare 'water cat'. She once
fell into a full bathtub and didn't mind at all.
