"Porter" will only drink water out of the faucet.

A lot of cats have water "issues." Try replacing his bowl w/a glass of water. Sounds funny, but some cats like to drink out of a glass. Moxie will only drink out of a glass, a bowl that is in the sink, or the toilet. LOL He won't let himself get dehydrated.

I would sometimes let the faucet drip for one of my cats. He loved faucet water! Sadly he died in July from cancer. I don't leave the water dripping for the other cats, it reminds me of the baby who died. donna

My Misha loves to drink from the tap also. I bought one of those kitty water fountains. There is a constant supply of (quiet) running water which is filtered, and she just loves it. That may be a good solution. Then you know Porter will have water available all the time to drink. (In case he doesn't drink from his bowl).

Keep us posted. :-)
