I struggled for years with my cat to get him to stay hydrated. Did fountains, running tap, ice cubes in the bowl -- nothing. Then one day, while he was slurping out of my water glass, it occurred to me: Just give him his own water cup up on a table, dumbass. Sure enough, his intake immediately shot up and his little bunny turds disappeared. Would recommend.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
