Does nobody butter their cat's paws before letting them out for the first time any more?
He’s a cat, he will do what he wants, when he wants, if you dare try to stop him, get a first aid kit, and lots of superglue ready.
More likely IMHOAre you sure? It could be that he thinks he's a cat.

Has the cat been micro-chipped?
Ah, that's good.
If he's on wet food i.e. pouches, then he'll get most of his moisture needs from that. But there should always be fresh water on hand regardless of what you feed. Some cats though, will prefer a water fountain rather than a bowl. I once had a cat who liked to drink from the toilet.
My current two have a torus water bowl, which has a 2 litre reservoir. It's halfway between a water fountain and an ordinary bowl as the water is gravity fed and filtered.
Suggest you only offer cat milk as a treat though. Because of the calorie content, it's considered a food rather than a drink, so do watch out. You might end up with a porky puss.
Cheers. We're off to the pet store soon, I'll have a look at the fountain, but I do leave fresh water for him.
It's not pouches, I've yet to find a pet food he likes, but I'll keep trying. When we were kids, cat would meow until we turned the tap on and drink from that.
