Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I learned that instead of training my cat, she has been training me. She now refuses to drink anything but running tap water, and yowls loudly early in the morning at my bedroom door to be fed. FML

Tasty
Today, despite having the choice of several bowls of clean water in the house, as well as puddles and ponds outside, my cat was drinking out of a pot I was soaking in the sink. She doesn’t seem to mind the taste of dish soap. FML
damn cats
Today my cat watched me clean and refill his water bowls, then shoved his fresh-out-of-the-litter-box paw in my glass of water. FML

Today, my cat was in the bathroom with me because he loves toilets. Everyone was sleeping so I went pee but didnt flush. My cat jumped onto the seat and fell in. I had to lift him out and then wash him. He hates water though, so I was scratched by my cat who was dripping with my own pee. FML

Spray it
Today, I learned why my bathroom has a horrible, seemingly irremovable stench. My cat doesn't squat to pee like a normal cat. She stands up, peeing over the side of the litter tray all over the wall and floor, which are now a permanent yellow tinge. FML

Today, my cat learned how to flush the toilet while I was in the shower. His transformation from cute kitten to pure evil entity is now complete. FML

Smelly cat, smelly cat…
Today, my cat decided the perfect place to throw up was on herself. Cleaning a smelly old cat with a showerhead is trouble enough, but when she tried to escape, it resulted in the bathroom being turned into one big puddle. FML

The master of the house
Today, I had to use the bathroom when I woke up this morning. My cat was sitting in front of the toilet and absolutely refused to move. I seriously tried every humane way of getting her to move, but she didn't budge. I had to sit really awkwardly on the toilet to do my business. When I stood up, she moved. FML

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?

Some cats can't drink water that's too close too their food source. Try moving it's water dish maybe?

push him in, close the lid. squeeze some dish soap in and let him agitate awhile. then give it 5 or 6 flushes and voila a clean cat AND he will be wary of the toilet for a good long time.

I had a cat like that too!! He also used to dive into the bathtub with my 2 year old at the time!! He was part goofy I think lol

My cat has never expressed a desire to drink from the toilet--probably because I keep the lid down when I'm not using it. As someone else suggested, maybe get a fountain for your cat and see if s/he'll drink from that.

Just walk up quietly and flush it while they're drinking.

Sounds mean, but probably effective!

Sure , it'll just walk up quietly and shit on your pillow while you're sleeping. Cats don't play around if you piss them off.

Move your cat's water away from its food. Cats don't like drinking near where they eat. Also, invest in a fountain or turn on the faucet for your cat, they like cool moving water. you can also try putting ice cubes in the water. Finally close the lid to prevent your cat from getting in the toilet.

So in the wild, stagnant water usually means disease/bacteria. Cats don't normally seek out much water in the wild because the get hydrated from the blood of their prey, but when they do, it needs to be moving. The processed diet that we feed cats now means that if they don't get enough water they get kidney/bladder problems. Get your cat a pet fountain, put it on a timer, change the water once a day, and your cat will definitely be healthier for it.

Cats like moving water. Get a cat bubbler. They have many varieties starting at $20 and up.

My cat refuses to drink from any source of water that isn't the cup I'm drinking out of.
