Need advice about water
Has anyone ever used a watering system similar to the bottle and tube
device used for rabbits and ferrets to provide water for their cats? Rosco and Meeka are creating a serious water hazard at our house. We want to make sure there is water for everyone but the kittens insist on water dancing. Right now Rosco is dancing in the smallest bowl of a nesting mixing bowl set. Only two feet will fit inside but he's prancing his two feet up and down and spilling the water. The second bowl is a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and Meeka had her two feet in there swirling the water around in a circle. I've never seen anything like this! We have to provide water for everyone but the kittens are making it difficult. Now, as soon as you quit laughing I would appreciate any suggestions. Julie |

O T liked to DANCE in his water and I ended up putting a 9 x 13 pan of water
in the bathtub until he out grew his waterbaby stage. "GaDragonfly" wrote in message ...

Julie Try putting the water dish in something with low sides - something like a baking pan. That ought to help contain the spills. |

I have a boot tray under the 2 no-tip bowls in the kitchen and in the
bathroom I have a winter floor mat for a truck. Both have deep lips that hold the water when spilled.

Julie One of my friends had that problem and she used to keep a BIG water bowl in the middle of her shower. She took it out every day to shower, then put it back in for the rest of the day. The cats could splash and play all they wanted without ruining her floors. Jane - owned and operated by the Princess Rita, a non-water-play kitty. |

And you can find them much cheaper than at PetCo or PetSmart. I ordered one for her when I brought her to SC with me... it was an amazon seller, I think. Half the cost of the other sites, brand new in the box. Trust me, Roscoe ane Meeka couldn't tip that thing over without concerted effort! Jill |

Julie We give our cats water in large drinking glasses on the kitchen and bathroom counters. They have only knocked one over and spilled it (and broke the glass) over the years. Jo |

I had to put vinyl mats under all of the water bowls when Rhett and Scarlett were kittens. They still haven't outgrown drinking off their paws so still make a mess. I always call our water bowls "Scarlett-flavored". |

That's a good idea Granby.
Our cats never had a water dancing problem, even as bitties Silly bitties, Julie. I got a good laugh trying to picture that. Good luck. Love Kyla. "Granby" ...

I have a barekitten who is also a waterbaby, and he dances in water alot too. Unfortunately he was also born with thumbs and a keen cunning.... despite being strictly NOT ALLOWED into the bathroom or kitchen with supervision, he is often found in either of those rooms, with the taps running, water all over the floor, and his 'fur' sopping. When the weather is warm enough, his favourite thing to do is go outside, play with the hose and pour water from one container to another. Unfortunately, we're still under water restrictions and technically running the hose like that is against the law, so we don't let him do it very often. I can only pray that yours - like mine - eventually grow out of it. Yowie -- If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse?
