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.

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!

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.
