So. Many. Cat. Subs. There's r/catsinpants, for cats that climb into your underwear when you're on the toilet. r/catbongos is for cats who like spankies. And r/Harpo is for all the people who asked me to create a sub for my cat so they could find him more easily, lol.

Turn on the faucet a trickle, it's what the cat wants. (or turn it on a lot, and if you survive you can do the dishes)

On a big Teams or Zoom meeting a couple of years ago and a speaker was working from his open concept kitchen/dining room when one of his cats jumped onto the counter behind him, tapped the faucet on and started drinking a lot of us were "uh huh right go on" but were really just watching the cat

This was the correct course of action.

Actually, I think you’ll find that his actions are permissible under “If I Fits, I Sits” doctrine.

I'm supposed to get some new fountains for promotion soon. I'd be happy to give you the one I have so you don't have to spend money to find out he's just going to ignore it.

oh, no worries, we have tried a couple, he hates them, he just kicks his bowl if we don’t refresh it three times a day

Looks like you need a cat fountain. Totally worth it. Reminds me I need to change the filter and refill it though.

Fountains really are very good for them, especially male cats, who are more prone to blockages. For while they WILL drink still water, their instincts tell them not to. Mine all started drinking more water once I got fountains.

Our dummies LOVE their fountain

And I like the sounds it makes when it’s clean and running.

Fountains are also lots of fun to play in! And yes, my cats, both males drink (drank in 1 case) a lot more water from fountains. We put a second one in the bathroom to keep our 20 lb cat out of the toilet.

I am scrupulous about keeping toilet lids down whenever they are not actually being used.

We used to be, with a cat that left the seat soaking, but that was years ago and we'd gotten out of the habit. Reilly just started his toilet habit this winter, & the fountain worked. Unfortunately his liver tumors developed an abscess & he passed 7 weeks ago. The other cat misses him terribly.

I'm so sorry you lost your baby. I got into that habit about 30 years ago, when I learned how far toilets fling their contents when flushed with the lid up. That it's less hassle with the cats is a bonus.
