Thread: Maine coons and water

Now I know that as a breed they adore the stuff, but how do I stop our little lad from emptying his water bowl everywhere whenever I put it down for him?

We have an electric fountain type water bowl but Lando has seemed to go off it and I'm not convinced he's drinking as much as he should be. However, when I put a normal water bowl down for him both paws are straight in and the water is dispersed all over the kitchen floor within about an hour as he flicks it all out.

Everytime I get a drink of water he is very vocal about wanting it, and drinks like hell from a glass of water if it's offered. I'm not sure if he's thirsty or if it's a novelty to drink from a glass.

I'm not a fan of wet feet in the morning, or wet cat feet on my face when I'm in bed, so any suggestions?
