Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! The link below is a good fountain and I like The Drinkwell 360 stainless steel fountain. I had that for my cat. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petsafe-drinkwell-stainless-steel-zen-water-fountain Have a great day

Cats actually prefer to drink from running water. I suggest you get her a water/drinking fountain: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/SearchDisplay?categoryId=&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&showResultsPage=true&searchSource=Q&pageView=&beginIndex=0&pageSize=48&fromPageValue=search&searchKeyword=&searchTerm=water+fountain )

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I have seen this before. I think he likely does not like the water bowl. I think it is possibly because of how tall it is. I would recommend you consider a small bowl perhaps one that is not an automatic bowl. I think this is likely going to improve this situation. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Bad Missy! Some kittens love to play with water! I would put the bowl in something to prevent it from tipping over. You can get adhesive to hold the bowel down as well. They do make non-spill bowls. None of this will stop her from dipping her paws in to it, so you a large water proof mat for your floor. She will grow out of this. I would add some interactive toys and get a laser pointer to play with her. Sometimes boredom comes in to play with these kind of behaviors. Good luck!

I would feed a small amount of wet food twice daily with added water in it. Continue to leave out fresh water and you can try a cat water fountain too. That circulates water and encourages cats to drink more. Most cats will drink what they need daily so I’m not overly concerned about this if he’s acting normal, has a shiny coat, and is a normal weight. If he’s lethargic, thin or not grooming well then he may have an underlying medical problem that needs treatment. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Topher.
