The water dish is not a skateboard! You cannot stand on the edges and do kick flips. You only succeed in soaking your feet (I know you don't mind, but I don't much like the wet kitten footprints) and the shelf. Please DRINK from the dish instead of spilling the water and dancing around in it. This also applies to the dog's water bowl, which is not, I repeat, not a swimming hole. If you cannot follow these rules, please keep your eating and drinking habits confined to the bedroom, where you will find a lovely Cat-It drinking fountain, purchased specifically for YOU!
