The big cats have always prefered to drink out of the same water pail as my dogs but the new kitten can't reach unless the water is full up to the top. We have laminate flooring so the only two places we can keep the water is in the bathroom or our very small kitchen so we took the pail out of the bathroom and put down a shorter glass dish in the kitchen for everybody. The dogs were happy, they haven't liked drinking from that pail since I bought it new (it's supposed to be stainless steel but they must think it tastes or smells funny).

Everything was fine for a while but then Eyvan went into the bathroom sat down on the back of the toilet and started yowling. We looked into every need the cat could have possibly had and I even carried him out and showed him the glass dish of water, but he returned to the bathroom and resumed his yowling from the back of the toilet. Finally, as a last resort, my son filled the pail and put it back in the corner. Eyvan got down, inspected it and left a happy cat - he never even took a drink! He just wanted his pail back where it belonged.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
Cats are finicky animals thats for sure. Mine dont like it when I rearrange their bedroom and decide to flip around where I store the food bags and their dishes..Everything of theirs has to be exactly as it was everyyyyyy time I clean their room out. Twice a week Ive got 3 pairs of eyeballs staring me down to make sure I put everything back the way it was!!!! Hercules will even mood food or water dishes to his specifications if they arent EXACTLY where they were!

Sasha doesn't really care either. As long as her food is fluffed, she is happy.

Fluffed?
How do you fluff food?
