We adopted an 18 month old cat from a rescue agency. She has developed a weird and annoying habit. We have a big water dish for the dog and cat in the kitchen, When we drop an ice cube on the floor we drop it in the water dish. She started playing with them and flipping them out onto the floor and batting them around, which we thought was amusing, until she started flipping the cubes out of our drinks.

Sounds like she needs some cat toys.

Be careful of this cat, there was a thing onv the internet about an American couple ending up with huge water bills far in excess of normal usage. Water provider could find no faulty meters or leaky pipes. The problem was solved when someone dicovered that their cat had learned to flush the toilet overv and over and over again. Really fascinated the cat.

Cats can get on any surface they want to. We once had a cat that liked to sleep on the top edge of an open door with her legs hanging down the sides.

my now 13 year old cat still loves ice water in her crystal cup - Princess Charlotte.......she does not flip the cubes out but she loves licking them - year round.

We have six rescue cats here, one of them loves to splash the water out of his bowl. We solved the problem by getting one of those large plastic dish pans and placing the water bowl in the dish pan. Now he splashes away and all we have to do is empty the pan.

Maybe you could put an ice cube in the pan with the water bowl and she could bat the cube around in the pan.
