You can lead a cat to water ...

[Randi]

He also likes the glass on my nightstand. He jumps up on the bed, annouces himself (regardless if I am still awake and reading or if it is 3:00 am and I am sound asleep.) He then puts his bum in my face and has the longest drink you can imagine.

The other night I forgot to bring a glass to bed. He jumped up and was very perturbed by the absence of a glass. Dutifully, I went and got it for him.

And yes...they have a fountain he also uses.

Sara, you have just described part of Fister's routine here, he does the same and sometimes he knocks my glasses on the floor when he jumps down. I too have forgot to bring his glass of water and when I realize, off I go and get one. Oh yes, they do have us trained well.

Toilet bowl kitties??? Well, it might be okay as long as you don't have any cleaners or disinfectants that dispense when you flush. I put the Clorox bleach tabs in the tank, so the bowl gets a fresh dose of bleach with each flush.
My son's cats must have the water in the sink in my grandson's bathroom left on a slow drip - even tho they always have fresh water in their bowl.
Cats!!!!!
