Kitten plays in water fountain

[Bobsk8]

My daughter adopted two kittens about 4 months ago , and now they are about 8 months old. The problem that started two days ago, is one of these kittens has started playing in the Catsmate Water fountain. My daughter couldn't figure out why the fountain was empty the last couple of days when she checked it in the morning, and finally caught one of the cats lying in front of the fountain with it's chest in the water and splashing the water out with its paws.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a solution for this problem?

Hi! What if she tries providing a different (heavy enough so it doesn't tip over) bowl next to the fountain, or nearby, with a lunch tray beneath it to protect the floor?

Glue the water bowl to the floor

How old was your cat when they became sufficient at drinking from a water bowl? Rox is 6 months, and has always preferred the outdoor faucet or the sink. I have tried 2 different water fountains, and she just paws and splashes the water everywhere. She is actually pretty good about "washing her...

I recently received a lot of great advice on the topic. Rox is a water cat, too. I still keep the water fountain and bowls in the shower for her for now.
