Thread: paw dunking??

2 of our 3 scratch around the bowl, dunk paws, flick water all over the place while lapping - it's so funny. Also drag the food bowls to them and eat with their paws while lying down. Very lazy Moonlight loves to pull over glasses - usually when they're full with sticky Coke - she seems to think it's funny. Gotta love em!

Even at eight years old paw is still best,Merlyn just a few minutes ago.....

She is the cutest furball I have ever seen..love her..it is cute even if she spills the water all over there..she is such a cutie..My warm pats...

HI, have you tried the road refresher water bowls on ebay for about £11, they are virtually spill proof and allow the coonies to move the water for drinking but without soaking the floor. We use them all the time and they are brilliant for coonies drinking habits.

I bought the road refresher bowls and my lot had removed the lids and tipped them upside down within 2 days!! Am thinking of trying the heavy ceramic dog bowls as hopefully they won't have the strength to tip or drag them!

We had the same problem - the kitchen floor was awash most of the day - every time we refilled their bowls they were tipped over. In the end (about 4 months ago) we bought large stainless steel ones with a rubber ring around the base (Zooplus) and (so far!) they haven't been up-ended!

As Myke said the road refresher bowl has been fantastic for our two. No water spills, occasionally get flicked with some water but they have never flipped the bowl It also has velcro bits on the underside so wont move if placed on carpet

thank you for the photos of Merlyn..

I've read that the digging/scratching at the water bowl goes back to their ancestors. In the wild they'd drink from standing pools of water & it was a way of cleaning any debris away that was floating on top. Our guy digs at his bowl which in turn spills all the water. He also loves drinking from the running faucet. He is obsessed with trying to drink from the toilet. He loves to watch when one flushes.
