Vancouver Feline Hospital - Cat Veterinary Clinic

Place the water dish anywhere BUT next to the food dish. YES SERIOUSLY! Cats prefer to drink away from where they eat and by thinking like a cat we can naturally get them to drink more. So go wild, place large ceramic dishes filled with fresh water daily in many different corners of the home, and one on the bathroom countertop. You will soon notice which they prefer. Many people tell us that this simple measure is all that it took to stop their cat drinking out of the toilet.
