Help Needed Please!!
Max has started (within the last week) to slosh all of the water out of the
drinking bowl, with his paw. I have one of those bowls that takes a 2 liter bottle. He gets the water every where. I changed to a smaller plastic Cool whip bowl with towels under it. End up with soppy towels. Put the bowl on a pie tin to collect the water. Put very small amount of water in it & just refill more often. I am home all the time so I can do this. I would put the water dish in the bathroom sink for Max, but my other cat is heavy & could not get to it. Does any one have any suggestions? I threatened him with a gerble(sp?) type bottle. Any help would be appreciated. Jo Ann |

There are some bowls on the market built like these:
http://www.canvasbackpets.com/ShopSite/product1175.html http://www.canvasbackpets.com/ShopSite/product540.html whose drinking hole is narrower than the actual bowl. If they're overturned, the water can't spill out. I suspect that it'd be a challenge for him to splash much water out of a bowl like this. |

Teach him to drink out of the toilet. Can't tip that over.

Funny you should say that! He can drink from the toilet! He sticks his paw
in & licks it off! I try to discourage this. Jo Ann "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... Teach him to drink out of the toilet. Can't tip that over. "gerbil". My family used to have one.

Thanks so much for the idea! I cut a hope into the lid of the container &
fill it to the top with water & he can manage it without getting it all over the floor! Jo Ann "Gabey8" wrote in message lkaboutpets.com...
