    Hm. Maybe try putting the water away from the food. Some cats don’t like it near the food. (Presumably related to clean water sources in nature vs. dead prey.)

    My last cat only ever drank from the running tab. Jumped into the bathtub and meowed until someone turned it on, day or night.

      We got one of those little water fountains, super popular. Everyone has there own place on it to drink. One likes where the water comes out, one likes the little pool and one likes the edge towards the nozzle, the water makes small waves there.

        They really make sense; instinctively, cats trust running water more than stale water, for the same reasons I mentioned.

        Often thought about it, but didn’t get a chance to try.
