How can I get my cat to drink out of his water bowl?

+4 votes
I don't think I've ever seen my cat drink from his water bowl. He regular drinks from the kitchen and bathroom sinks and even from my cup, when he gets the opportunity. It's annoy. What can I do to get him to stop and drink out of his own bowl?

Cats don't drink a lot but should be encouraged to drink some. Don't add anything to the water. Try using a different bowl or placing the bowl in a different spot. Many cats enjoy drinking from running water which is why your cat likes to drink at the sink. You might want to consider purchasing a pet water fountain to encourage him to drink from his own bowl. If your cat eats only dry food, add some water to it or better yet, add some canned food which contains water.
