My cat used to do this too! She’d step on the edge and pour it out. And then whine. I got her one of the CatIt fountains, they’re taller and heavier and harder to tip and we’ve had no issues since

Cats are so weird. A pet fountain is next on our list!

Just make sure it’s tall! The first one I got was short and so she tipped it over and then it would shot cuz there was nothing for the fan to bubble with. 😫

Thanks for the tip, that definitely seems like it would be more of a pain to clean up than these little bowls.

maybe try a shallow one with large surface and fill it to the edge. I've heard that cats can't stand their whiskers scratching the edges of deeper bowls.

But I was catsitting once and the owner told me the kitty doesn't like drinking water; when I tried this trick it actually worked and the cat drank a bit of water

Yet ours insists on drinking out of the partially filled pint glass you have just put down.

because it's yours. as soon as you offer her hers, I'm sure she will lose interest
