The cat we had when I grew up was amazing, back, thick but short fur, hated being picked up but liked to be petted and to be in the same room as the family, she had small tuffs of hair on hear ears, and almost exclusively drank water in the shower, she would go so far as to come and get one of us, and then lead us to the bathroom and have us turn on the water to give her something to drink.

This is while always having a bowl of water by her food, the water was changed twice daily, so allways fresh for her, but she definately prefered to drink water in the shower.

It's the waters proximity to her food that turned her off of it. Most cats don't like them being close to each other. The running theory I've heard is that, since eating and drinking are separate actions for cats, the proximity makes the standing water seems unsanitary.
