| 1882.1 | could be the size and shape of the bowl | VAXWRK::SKALTSIS | Deb | Mon Oct 17 1988 13:23 | 5 |
| What is the size and shape of his water bowl? If he is a huge cat, and
the bowl is small, it could be that it brushes against his whiskers
and he doesn't like that feeling.

| The late lamented Pansy used to do that too. Now Emma goes her
one better. She sits with both front paws in the dish! Then one
at a time, takes them out and 'drinks'. She has double paws, so
she isn't going to suffer from dehydration any time soon.

| 1882.3 | Try the water bottle | SALEM::DEFRANCO | | Mon Oct 17 1988 14:36 | 16 |
| re .0
You might want to try the old water bottle trick (see note 1747).
My two drink out of a water bottle and voila "no more water all
over the place".
It might take a little time and training to get your guys used to
drinking out of the bottle but it's worth it. Try putting a little
bit of tuna at the end of the spigot. This will tempt them enough
to get them licking (and hopefully realizing that water does come
out!)
Good Luck!

| 1882.4 | water bottle? | DNEAST::FIRTH_CATHY | | Tue Oct 18 1988 07:47 | 25 |
| What water bottle? This would solve a lot of problems
for me also. Is this something on a stand or what.
We also want to leave for a few days and this would
be great.

| 1882.5 | A rabbit type water bottle! | SALEM::DEFRANCO | | Tue Oct 18 1988 09:04 | 18 |
| re. 4
I think I explained it in note 1747 but anyway, it's the type of
water bottle that you use in rabit hutches. You can buy one at any
grain or pet store. The bottle I have holds 32 oz. and it hangs
by a bracket (included with the bottle). You may have to improvise
as far as attaching the bracket to the wall (sinse their original
design is to hang in a wire cage) but it can be done.
It really is great and I think the cats actually drink more water
by using this. It's kind of like a wet toy for them. It makes
this klinking noise when they use it and I think that amuses them.
Hope this helps and if I haven't explained it well enough, you can
give me a call (261-2314)
