    If your cat isn’t drinking from it’s water bowl then I suggest getting a fountain that continuously circulates the water.

      I bought one of those last year. It was tipped over and water was all over the floor. So that asshole just has a normal bowl, and he seems content.

        That’s why you’re supposed to tape it to the floor. Just make sure you tape it close enough to the fountain to drink…

          I unfortunately can’t tape anything where my cat’s water is, because it’s in front of an attic door that I access from time to time… Unless I stock up on tape and re-tape it every time.

            I use velcro. Works a treat.

              Well, there’s something I haven’t thought of before haha. That’s too simple. I will have to try that next time I have a chance!

      My first cat would climb on top of the fish tank and drink the water coming out of the filter. That lid on the tank wasn’t very solid, so I was sure he’d fall in at some point. I got him a circulating fountain and he stopped using the fish tank.

      We also had a tabby that liked to drink from the kitchen sink. Moving the fountain away from the food helped that a lot.

      Same. Or swapping the water more frequently, for mine it changed massively between replenishing the water once a day and doing it three times a day + using a cleaned bowl each time.

      But getting a fountain is a much better solution, yeah. Alternatively have a decorative fountain, the little bastards prefer drinking those empty, anyways. 😑
