    Hahahaha, damn cats. I know this well. My $1 rescue cat? Couple months later she was a $700 cat from emergency vet visits. To be fair it was mostly our fault as we left our toilet lids open and didn’t clean our toilets enough. But who would drink from a dirty toilet when you have a nice fresh bowl of water changed daily? Her, lol.

      You might want to buy a pet water fountain, cats prefer drinking running water, maybe it’s an instinct to go for “clean water”?

      Also don’t put it near the food, since the smell may make then mistake the water for spoiled.

        Appreciate the heads up. Yeah, that was a while ago and since then we got a fountain and she loved that till we got another cat and a gravity water bowl. The other cat only drank from the gravity water tank/bowl and now she only wants to drink from that too. lol. They are both happy now and drink lots of clean water everyday!
