Water dish question

MadeOfAwesome · March 2014

Hi! I don't usually post on this board, but I have an issue that maybe you guys could help me out with. I have three cats and a 100 lb dog. One of my cats is a major asshole and likes to tip over the water dish. I was using a regular bowl... he tipped it over. I got one of the water dispensers... he tipped it over. I tried putting a big plastic tray underneath it, but he's still ruining my floors. Any suggestions? My dog drinks out of an elevated bowl, but the cats don't bother with that.

we have one of the classic drinkwell fountains for our cats, my kitty used to be a PITA and do the same thing with her bowl. I can't imagine that she's be able to tip the drinkwell over.

Ditto the fountain idea, but if you'd like a bowl instead, perhaps a heavy ceramic one (unless you've already tried that)? My parents have a heavy ceramic water dish for their cats, and the cats can't overturn it.

my cat used to do that as well! I got the bowls that are in a wire rack holder and the bowls are metal. He cant seem to tip this over.

I have a 110lb pup myself who also drinks from an elevated bowl. My cat likes to stand on his hind legs whenever i put fresh water in the dogs bowl and drink from it.

I second the heavy ceramic bowl. My cats aren't able to tip it over. This doesn't prevent them from splashing it out and playing in it though. Good luck!

They make designs that are more difficult to tip - like this:

otherwise I would try the heavier ceramic ones also

Possibly a suction-cup bowl?!
