Try a kitty water fountain. It gives the cat access to flowing filtered water and would be very difficult to tip over. You only need to clean it about once a week and most cats love them. My cats like the Petmate Fresh Flow the best. If your cat enjoys drinking running water, you might try the Drinkwell Pet Fountain.

I agree that you need to find a water dish that can’t be tipped.

In my home, two of our water “dishes” are actually glasses (made of glass) with very heavy bottoms. Plus, the sides of the glass go straight up, rather than curving in any way. So although the cats might be able to shove the glass a little bit, it can’t be tipped.

If you don’t want a glass, go to a pet store and try to find something quite heavy, and quite flat. That would be another case where the dish might be shoved a bit, but couldn’t be tipped.

In the meantime, you might try setting the water dish on some sort of small tray, so that even if it gets spilled, the water will be contained in the tray, so the cat can still drink any time it needs to.

The one thing you can’t do is remove the water altogether. It needs to be out, all day, for the cats to access any time they need it.

Of course, then there’s the fact that a few cats just love playing with water, and are going to find a way to splash it no matter what you do. The little scamps!

What are you using for the water? If it’s becoming a real hassle, I think maybe a new water dish is what you’ll need to fix this. Best of luck, Tasia.
