One of our 2 cats digs around and in the water bowl before drinking. I know that's pretty common, we just keep the floor clean and change the water frequently to keep it clean.
The problem is that she also will seek out a towel, washcloth, or even an item of clothing and put it in the water bowl, soiling and soaking up their drinking water.
They are highly active young adult cats. We keep them in the bathroom at night so we can sleep. I don't feel like a fountain would be a safe option because they are so rowdy and because the water digger also chews on cords.
We try to keep towels and clothes mostly out of reach, but with a child in the house and needing them handy for hand washing, she always manages to find something to put in there.
I'm wondering if there's a solution I'm missing, and also curious about why she does this.
