Weeks back I bought Edwina a drinking fountain. She was afraid of it. She insisted on drinking from the humidifier instead.
I tried everything I could think to do. She got her turkey treats next to it (instead of on the table on a placemat!) so she would associate the noise with something good.
I cleaned it...just in case (the dog drank from it at Thanksgiving!)
At last...in frustration on Sunday evening I gave her back her regular water dish. Put it on her mat -- next to the drinking fountain.
Last night while we were eating in she came....cozied up to the fountain...and had a nice long drink!
She won the battle of the wills. Life is very simple when you are a cat!
