my cat keeps throwing her water out of her cat dishes

I was beginning to think I was the only one who had this problem...One of our cats, my fourteen and a half year old named Sam (female), does the same thing. I too tried everything I could think of to get her to stop this...I put the water bowl inside a large mixing bowl to catch what she knocks out, among other things. That works okay, more or less, but hasn't stopped her from doing it. Finally, what has worked the best as far as dealing with the water going everywhere, is I now put the water bowl in our hall bathroom...We have a shower stall and a separate bathtub, so I put her bowl inside the shower stall on the shower floor. The kitties can walk right in to drink, and when Sam goes for a dip, the water just stays in the shower, and ends up just going down the drain. When we use the shower, we put the water bowl in the tub, and they just hop in there to drink. This has worked pretty well. This might work for you...Good luck!
