Water Dish Tipping

[Kathryn]

We had trouble getting the kittens to use a water bowl. They didn't seem to know what it was for, which I suspect is because they were used to wet food from their home. We found that they were interested and curious but most of the water ended up on their paws or whiskers as they tried to decipher what to do with it. We ended up getting them a Drinkwell Pet Fountain, mainly because we were worried about how little water they drank. But it is so heavy that they couldn't possible tip it over, funnily enough they still put their paws in it. Now they drink more than I have ever seen a cat do. Still it isn't a cheap way to go.

I also had to switch to the stainless steel no-tip bowl for Eloise! She has a fascination with water so even with the no-tip bowl she moves the bowl and splashes water all over! I take a shower and there she is, on the side of the tub, head peeking around the shower curtain... I take a bath and there she is, on the side of the tub splashing her paws in the water! She cracks me up!

I read somewhere that loving water is a Ragdoll thing. Anyone else ever hear that?
