Why does my cat spill her water bowl and how can I stop it?

Question

My cat has been spilling and turning and kicking her water bowl for a few days now, mind you, the water is fresh, the bowl clean and the one she had since she arrived in our family. What can I do to stop it? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 months old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Bad Missy! Some kittens love to play with water! I would put the bowl in something to prevent it from tipping over. You can get adhesive to hold the bowel down as well. They do make non-spill bowls. None of this will stop her from dipping her paws in to it, so you a large water proof mat for your floor. She will grow out of this. I would add some interactive toys and get a laser pointer to play with her. Sometimes boredom comes in to play with these kind of behaviors. Good luck!
