Mine get a squirt of water on the booty when they stick there head in it. It's a slow process but it's working.

Squirting water at a kitty is never a good idea. I would get a really strong lemon scented deodarizer and hang it near the toilet. I would also keep the door closed if your daughter can manage doorknobs. Other than that keeping it spotlessly clean and not putting harsh cleaners in the water would be my only other suggestion.

Kitty probably thinks that toilet water is more "fresh" than the stuff in his water bowl. There are pet fountains on the market, not too terribly expensive, that could solve the problem.

This was taken off of www.meowhoo.com where they have anything and everything you and your cat has ever dreamed of. This product is available at local pet supply stores, too.

The problem I had with it is it leaks. I kept having water appear and couldn't figure out why. When we placed a towel under the fountain it was soaked. Maybe mine was defective? Anyone else have a problem with this?!
