Mine all drink from their Petmate fountain. Two of them use their paws to scoop and drink their water (and splash & play) Emily likes to drink from the bathroom sink drizzling but since she one of the paw drinkers - she swats the stream and drinks from her paw - still loves the running water. I don't use standing water anymore because they all so prefer the fountain and I like the fact that it has a filter on it to keep the water fresher and cleaner. All five are free fed dry kibble.
