Greetings.
I have two male cats, one a 6 year old tabby, and the other an 8 month old kitten (not sure of the breed). We got the kitten because our tabby's brother died unexpectedly last year.
Within the past two months, our kitten was just neutered Kitten was just spayed within the last two months, and by all accounts, everything went great. Kitty was back to normal within a day or so. However...
Recently, he has taken to flipping over the water bowls (we have two water bowls and two food bowls). He leaves the food bowls alone, except to eat. We have tried using different bowls to no avail. We recently moved the feeding spot...after kitty had started flipping the water...and we found that kitty scoots the bowls by reaching in them and dragging them with his paws. We transitioned to larger, heavier bowls, but it still does not prevent him from scooting the bowls. My concern is my older cat is not able to drink when he wants water, because there is no water in the bowls...specifically when my wife and I are out of the house working.
I can't seem to find any ideas or reasoning for this. I did find that the kitty is scrapping at the floor around the food bowls for some reason, but not sure why.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
TIA
