Split water and food bowls by a good amount of space. Opposite sides of the room, or different rooms altogether. And more than 1 water bowl. Apparently these tricks are useful.

Yeah I only learned a couple of years ago that cats hate having their water anywhere near food. Moving bowls into different rooms made a huge difference to their water consumption.

i wonder why that is

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I'd suspect it's a water safety thing, not wanting to drink stagnant water right next to their "kill". The cats I've had have always preferred drinking running water in the bath

This is but a hypothesis, though
