A lot of times they don’t like the food source to be near the water source. Sometimes if you put the food bowl and water bowl in different rooms they will become a lot more amenable to the water bowl.
Of course sometimes not, because they are just bein little weirdos
Mine actually drinks from his bowl just fine, which makes it even funnier that he goes for the sink puddles like it's some gourmet shit.
I don’t want the water you gave me. I want the water I hunted for myself.
Unless it's my cat. Got heavily filtered water and use it to fill 3 different fountain bowls in different parts of the house (none near the food source, but I did that because if they are, she'll eat her food over them...) and the cat still demands I turn the sink on instead. Same exact water, and even though I change her water out almost every other day, the sink wins. Just glad she hasn't figured out how to turn it on yet...
Funny enough the last fountain I got looks like a faucet and she's like "nah I'm not stupid, turn the sink on."
Yep, we had a cat that would always go for the sink. Eventually I tried putting the water fountain away from the food, and she mostly stopped getting water in the sink.
Before I learned this, I had another cat while I still had a fish tank...I'd get home and find him on top of the fish tank, drinking the water coming out of the filter. The lid on that tank was not very solid, and I was SURE he'd fall in at some point, with disastrous results, so I got him a fountain water dish, and that stopped his fish tank escapades.
toilet water
FTFY
My cat prefers to drink the water that has pooled in the shower
I gotta keep my toilet lid closed, or my boy will balance like an acrobat on the seat to get some of that lovely sewer water.
My cat refuses to drink anything but pre, glacial spring water. No tap water. It has to at least be filtered, or he won’t drink it.
Of course, where I live, tap water is nasty.
It's got flavah
My dog plainly dislikes tap water
Pond water? Great.
Water in a bowl outside with some kelp growing in it? Yes.
Water in a watering can that is literally the same as in his bowl? Perfect.
God if this sint my mom's dog. Clean water in bowl? Na Bruv, mucky dirt water from the plants she has? Fucking ambrosía.
