Well, Tigger only drinks from sinks/bathtubs. Smokey and Mystic will drink from their water dish on the floor next to their food dish. Abner HAS to drink from my husbands water cup on side of his TV chair. Tucker has her own dish outside but I have found that she also likes to drink from the birdbath.

My mom's cats (my "grandbabies") love to drink from the pool, or in the spring, fall and winter, the top of the pool cover. She also has to provide them with drinking dishes all over the house. (she has 8 cats and they all want to be special in their drinking place).
