Agreed. My feral capture does not drink water at all (running or not); he manages to get enough from wet cat food and house plants (and cat grass).
The other two were raised on human water bowls and are fine with drinking from a large bowl - the feral just watches them with huge curiosity (he also learns and adopts behavior from them...like, he acquired one cat's habit of howling and coming runnnin' when ever I sneeze - so now I have two Nurse Cats who get really upset whenever I sneeze!).
At the other end, just got one of these, and took this guy a month to Get Over It and start using!
