He has a fountain. And a folded towel does nothing, lol. It took 5 towels last time. Big, plush towels. He paddles like 1-2 gallons of water on the floor non-stop until he's caught.
Trying to teach him not to, but he has some weird fetish with smooth, glassy surfaces and trying to swim
Like, gallons of it. The cat does this weird one-armed swim stroke on anything flat and slick (polished wood table, glass table, tile floor). He's not scratching. He has a baffled look on his face the entire time.
So when he gets in the dog's giant water bowl, he will sling a gallon of water...
