There's a simple explanation for all of these behaviour issues.
They're cats. That's it. There is no rhyme or reason. They're like autistic teenagers. EG; Dizzy will have periods where if either of us goes anywhere near the bathroom she will dash in front of us, leap into the basin and wait for us to turn the tap on so she can fill herself with water. This will happen 5 or 6 times a day, even at night. Then she just goes off it and won't drink for weeks. She's currently in an ignore period, but she'll go back to it soon.
Don't worry about it. Cats are bonkers. Deal with it.
