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. 😑
A big plus for the fountain, it holds more clean water and for longer, plus it alerts you by making annoying buzzing and splashing noises when it’s low.
I like that I can leave for a weekend and know the cats have more than enough clean water.
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.
