Any ideas how to stop this?

We had the same problem when Willy adopted us.

I always have a glass of water on the nightstand at night. After getting drenched 2 or 3 times -- such a rude way to be awoken -- I got a water bottle with a screw on lid. Willy still knocks it over in the middle of the night once in a while, but I don't get wet.

We're not big soda drinkers, but I started buying Diet Coke in bottles for the same reason.

But, Willy has now graduated to knocking over flower vases Haven't solved that one yet. Our dining room table chairs are water stained. I was going to re-cover them but why bother -- until he grows out of this new habit.

It works fairly well.....

Put a couple of empty plastic glasses around so he can knock 'em over to his heart's content. Maybe it's the noise or the rolling motion he likes. Or a bunch of disposable plastic glasses/cups.

You might have to put your real drinks in bottles that have sleeves and straps so you can WEAR them!

I have had Juni perform this trick for Vermontcat when she came over a couple of years ago.

You can put a glass of anything, on the table or floor, and call her over and she will walk up to it and knock it over! She started doing that at the dinning room table, much to my dismay.

I put a glass of water in the basin, at all times, and that seems to have stopped her for some reason. She doesn't knock that one over....and has finally stopped doing the same to my glasses next to the bed, at night.

I will have to tell you, Juni ruined many a meal, by jumping up on the table and swatting the glasses....filled with tea or milk or water....didn't matter.

By the way, Juni was far from a kitten when she began the trick.

I hesitate to test her skills right now, for fear it will remind her how much fun it was...... for her, not me.

Try the glass filled with water in a sink and see what happens.
