My cat is obsessed with water! Help!?

Question

My cat cannot keep a water bowl full of water. When my roommate and I are out of the house, our dog and cat stay on the back porch so they dont run through the house and tear stuff up. We fill their bowls up everyday and my cat just plays in the water until it is all gone, so by the end of the day they are both thirsting to death! She doesnt knock the bowl over, she sits at the bowl and paws the water out, so a heavier bowl wont help. She just likes to splash it around. She does NOT do it for attention, she knows I will scold her for it. I have no idea how to get her to stop this. No matter how many bowls we use, she will empty them all. Its especially unfair to the pooch, who doesnt get to enjoy the water in any way. We tried the squirt bottle things like they have in pet stores but the dog would not use them so they didnt help. We also had the continuous flow water bottle also and we just end up with a flooded porch and an empty water bottle. How can I get her to not do this anymore?

Answer 1

I thought cats hate water . . .

Answer 2

Doesn't sound like you can keep the cat out the water. Next best thing is to make sure they always have water to drink. Try the Sir Aqua automatic self-watering bowl. Its a bowl connected to your garden hose. Never runs out of water.

Answer 3

She likes it because it feels good to her. Some cats will even jump in the tub while you are taking a bath or shower. NOT all cats hate water. If you can put them in separte areas on the porch, make like a two small cages so the dog will have water.

Answer 4

Have you tried a pet water dispenser or even a pet water faountain. These things have a water reservoir jug that keeps the bowl filled.

Answer 5

Make sure they don't have diabetes-- cats drink lots of water when they have that!
