You'll just have to(i)let the cat drink

Crazy Product Idea #251: Cat water bowl that is shaped like a toilet. Cats like to drink from water that's moving. There's bowls that cycle the water, maybe try that?

I have the same problem. Meaning I can't drink water unless it's from the toilet.

If it gets thirsty enough it will drink. You just have to outlast the guilt trip.

haha if your cat could open up the faucet she probably would..cats like flowing water, maybe if you get yourself a cat-fountain, she will stop drinking from the toilet

Cats are dicks sometimes

You may want to take him to the vet. He could have a kidney issue (cats with kidney issues like the coldness of the toilet water).

Maybe you can get a kids potty training chair and use that as your cat's drink bowl? Let your cat watch your swirl it so your cat can see movement and *hopefully* will drink out of that instead. Good luck!

OP I'm afraid your cat is secretly a dog in disguise.

so lock it out of the bathroom until it gets thirsty enough to drink from its perfectly good water bowl.
