I unfortunately can’t tape anything where my cat’s water is, because it’s in front of an attic door that I access from time to time… Unless I stock up on tape and re-tape it every time.
My first cat would climb on top of the fish tank and drink the water coming out of the filter. That lid on the tank wasn’t very solid, so I was sure he’d fall in at some point. I got him a circulating fountain and he stopped using the fish tank.
We also had a tabby that liked to drink from the kitchen sink. Moving the fountain away from the food helped that a lot.
Same. Or swapping the water more frequently, for mine it changed massively between replenishing the water once a day and doing it three times a day + using a cleaned bowl each time.
But getting a fountain is a much better solution, yeah. Alternatively have a decorative fountain, the little bastards prefer drinking those empty, anyways. 😑
A big plus for the fountain, it holds more clean water and for longer, plus it alerts you by making annoying buzzing and splashing noises when it’s low.
I like that I can leave for a weekend and know the cats have more than enough clean water.
If your cat isn’t drinking from it’s water bowl then I suggest getting a fountain that continuously circulates the water.
I bought one of those last year. It was tipped over and water was all over the floor. So that asshole just has a normal bowl, and he seems content.
That’s why you’re supposed to tape it to the floor. Just make sure you tape it close enough to the fountain to drink…

I use velcro. Works a treat.
Well, there’s something I haven’t thought of before haha. That’s too simple. I will have to try that next time I have a chance!
