Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2006drinking water for cats
My cat will not drink from a bowl, he just upturnes it soaking everywhere so now I have to leave the tap in the sink running for him for drinks. Anyone elses cat do this?? >My cat will not drink from a bowl, he just upturnes it soaking everywhere so >now I have to leave the tap in the sink running for him for drinks. > >Anyone elses cat do this?? Sometimes. One of those bowls that is broader at the bottom than at the top and is harder to turn over might do the trick. Bud  SignatureThe night is just the shadow of the Earth. Not mine. But that must wreak havoc with your water bill! Have you considered one of those pet fountains? It uses a pump to give continuous "running" water from a reservoir. There's a pic here: http://www.petfountain.com/ > My cat will not drink from a bowl, he just upturnes it soaking everywhere so > now I have to leave the tap in the sink running for him for drinks. > > Anyone elses cat do this?? I bought a bowl with a massive ring at the botom but he still tips it ove, id need to concrete it to the floor lol Michelle, luckily I live in rainy scotland so dont have a water bill as such, I pay a standard water charge every year > Not mine.

Our city fathers had the genius idea to build a city in the middle of a coastal desert (San Diego, California), although I guess the bay does make a nice harbor for ships of conquest past and present ;) Out of curiosity, how much is your standard water fee? For reference, my water bill last month was $25. Definitely check out the pet fountains, and I second the comment that the filter hinders more than helps. I keep planning to buy one for my own cat but it keeps get pushed to the bottom of the priority list. > I bought a bowl with a massive ring at the botom but he still tips it ove, > id need to concrete it to the floor lol [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >> > >> Anyone elses cat do this?? I am not totally positive as it is in with my council tax rates but I think it is roughly £80 a year. I watched the wee video for the fountain and it looks really fun for the cat too. I only have 1 so a medium one would probably be ok for me eh? I have a store up the road that stocks them, checked their website earlier > Ah lucky you.

As to filling it, what I generall do is put about a quart in the main bowl, then fill up the reserve tank and put it in. It'll slowly feed out water as the supply runs out. £80 a year translates to about £6.67 a month while in U.S. dollars it would be $152.61 U.S. a year or $12.72 a month. I see the dollar is also sucking badly against the Euro damn it. Ye the pound is the same too, its drastically changed since it first came into use in 2001...it was that year I think Found another thing that cats love! My boyfriend has a case for his drum and its fur lined, cat has been in it all night lol dont know if his pipe band will be too happy with all the hairs tho tee hee but as long as my wee man is happy :-) Are all you guys from the US??

Luckily fur doesn't stick to leather all that easily. BTW, I don't think the group is U.S. centric. > My cat will not drink from a bowl, he just upturnes it soaking everywhere so > now I have to leave the tap in the sink running for him for drinks. > > Anyone elses cat do this?? Get one of those fountains. My cats love the one I got them. It's the Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow. http://www.petmate.com/Catalog.plx?ID=205 And btw, the filters are pretty useles if you have more than one cat. At least once a week I do give the unit a thorough cleaning to remove the cat hair etc. that clogs the pump. A better design would have put the filter in front of the pump but they put the filter in the well. I've found that by not using the filter in the well I get better flow, and it's a convenient place to put a couple ice cubes to cool the water down. That looks really cool! I think ill look into getting one of them actually. A bit more cleaner than having him jump on the sink Thanks for that >> My cat will not drink from a bowl, he just upturnes it soaking everywhere >> so [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > and it's a convenient place to put a couple ice cubes to cool the water > down.
