Tipping over the Water Bowls...

Charlies got into the habit of knocking over the water bowls, and usually when were not in or in bed. So both him and Alfie have to go without water till we either get back or get up in the morning....

Has anyone had any experience of there cats doing this? Anyone have any ideas on how to get him out of doing it, or is it something that will come as he grows up.

Feel sorry for Alfie, found him with his head in the toilet getting a drink one morning because Charlie had knocked the bowls over, and they had nothing all night.... Silly Charlie!!!

Re: Tipping over the Water Bowls...

Dont know if they do them for cats but for dogs they do water bowls that fit into a stand. If you can get one for a small dog (If they dont do them specifically for cats) maybe it would be low enough for a cat. Just an idea dont know if any help.

We don't use water bowls no more! we use buckets! they seem to work great for us but cannot think they would work with cats - whatabout a water fountain?

Re: Tipping over the Water Bowls...

Meeko does this sometimes,I have bought him a non tip bowl,(see link ) or you could try the heavy ceramic bowl ,perhaps a small dog one may be better. Ceramic Cat Bowl by Mason Cash | Pets at Home Stainless Steel Non-Tip Cat Bowl by Rayware | Pets at Home

Re: Tipping over the Water Bowls...

I had the same problem with my two cats. I bought a big heavy ceramic bowl (dogs bowl) and they have never knocked it. I also have a water fountain which works a treat! They love it!

Re: Tipping over the Water Bowls...

I have discovered that my manky kitties like to drink from the mugs of water I sit on the storage heaters to keep the air moist, so maybe dot a few mugs of water about for them and of course the mug water is stale tap water as opposed to the fresh changed daily brita filtered water in their bowl

Re: Tipping over the Water Bowls...

Why not put a bowl in the sink overnight, so they don't have none at all.
