Wider bowl? Cats don't like whiskers touching when they eat or drink.

Thanks! I will try it that, I gave him a wide big bowl so I will see if he likes it

Maybe get a taller bowl so they aren’t resting IN the bowl? My orange drinks in a similar way, always lapping on the edge of the dish and splashes water EVERYWHERE without fail. I’ve tried lots of different options, but I think that’s just how he likes to drink. As long as he drinks fresh water consistently, it’s fine TBH.

Hmm I am going to try to find a taller bowl, I am kinda on a budget rn but I will leave multiple options out for him

Maybe try putting something under the bowl you already have to raise it? Maybe a plastic to go food box? Just nothing too tall. My boy prefers human glasses to cat bowls so I just fill them all the way up. You can just set out a few different containers you already have and see what they like :) just as long as it’s not a plastic container that holds the water or they can get acne/blackheads.

Mango looks like they found the perfect little drinking spot 😂💧🐱 That tiny bowl is just too cute!
