How do I get my cat to stop tipping over my glass of water?

My little girl, Lily, seems to love drinking water out of my glass.


I have no problem with sharing water with my cats, but she always nocks the glass down. After she does that, I pour the rest of the water left in the cup on her. If there isn't any left in the cup I put some in it and then pour it over her. She then runs away because she hates getting wet, but doesn't learn her lesson. She will come back the next time I have a cup of water.





Her water dish is full, so she does have her own water to drink.


How else can I teach her not to do that?





I don't have that problem with the other cats, just her. If the other ones drink from my cup they don't nock it over..

How do I get my cat to stop tipping over my glass of water?
Well my cat does this too - especially if she is trying to drink out of a tall glass. I just don't allow her to drink out of my glass and if she does I watch her. The only way you can get her to stop is to not allow her to drink out of your cup. Cats are just curious that way and she'll probably keep doing it...you could try changing her water bowl to make it more attractive to her. Perhaps a glass, see through bowl will help her be more inclined to drink out of her own bowl. You just can't let her drink out of your cup unless your gonna watch her. If you know she's gonna eventually tip over the glass don't let her.
Reply:Lol. That's so much like my cat too. She never stop so I just made sure the cup of water is out of her reached.
Reply:Hahah! I have a friend with a cat that's does the exact same thing. You have to hang onto your cup or she'll tip it over. And she gets into my purse and steals things. The cat, not my friend.





I doubt that you can teach her not to do it, if you get her wet and she still comes back and continues.





You could get those really heavy short and wide glasses - she wouldn't be able to tip those over.
Reply:hold on to it or get her her own cup but smaller. She probably likes to stay sround you so she gets thirsty and just drinks the only source of water around, your cup.
Reply:I have never had this problem except for one time my cat took a sip of my coffee. She didn't like it so I would suggest something that looks like water like a light lemon aide something sour. She might think twice about drinking from your cup.
