They also don't lick you,

That's not always true.

My new cat is a licker. I am not joking - it licks my hands.

Could be after salt from your mitts. Could be also that it doesn't
distinguish between you and itself when licking. Does it come up and
(say) lick your leg, or is this happening when it's (say) on your lap
and your hand is next to where it's licking itself?

It is deliberate and it is only hands that it licks.

Righto.

As I say, they vary. The brother/sister we got now, she laps water from
the bowl. He'll only drink from the tap, utility room. SWMBO's cat when
we got married (since deceased), also a boy, also loved getting in the
bath and drinking from the tap.

Mine prefer drinking form the stagnant pond than a bowl of tapwater. I
guess it's got more flavour.

and less chlorine

They still don't like it when it's been standing for 2 days, which removes all chlorine, although they might remember it used to have chlorine, although I've not seen much evidence of cats remembering things!
