Michelle Pfeiffer was in desperate need of some animal advice when she shared a video of her cat on Instagram - and you won't believe what she was doing.

Michelle was astounded she’d never seen her do this before and captioned the eye-opening footage: "How is it possible that after 8 years together I am just noticing this behavior?"

She then asked fellow Hollywood star - and cat lover - Kate Beckinsale for some advice. 

"@katebeckinsale, since you are the Cat expert, can you share any insight on why Bella drinks her water this way?!"

Her fans bombarded her with suggestions, with some telling her the bowl is too small for her to put her face into as it tickles her whiskers and others saying it's what that breed of cat does. 

But the video also sparked hilarious remarks from followers who pointed out "you were Catwoman, you should know!" and one even said: "I watched Batman Returns and it's how u drink milk lol."
