Nico has been driving me insane

The fountain I bought for him, he was drinking out of for awhile, then decided it didn't suit him so we switched to a steel bowl. That was fine for awhile, but he no longer wanted it, even after being sanitized and so forth. So then we went to plastic bowls. Same thing..uses for a few weeks no longer wants. Not only that he spills the water on the floor on purpose. Even when I give him a brand new completely clean bowl..he doesn't want it. Of course he wants to drink out of the sink, which I don't like because it isn't necessary with all these bowls. Besides I can't monitor his water intake, which he is prone to stones, so it is kind of important. He just took a few sips out of a new water supply. I think I will plug in the fountain again, and see if that is acceptable now. I have never had a cat who was demanding like this one is. The others were all pretty chill. Any ideas? He doesn't like something about the bowlsor the water. I have used water in a jug before he seems to like that a bit better.

I feel for you. He sounds like he is related to our cat Baby. We have food and water issues. I think it’s age related.

Nico is only 6 though. He isn't an elderly cat, and as a matter of fact runs around like a kitten and takes a keen interest in life.

@snowy22315 Baby didn’t get funny with her food and water until a few years back. She will be 19 in May.

Perhaps, but cats don't like sweet. I have tried hydration packets. He doesn't seem to be a big fan, but I could try them again.

He is spoiled rotten, and thinks he is a prince. He also is just temperamental. They say one cat personality is cantankerous, and though he can be sweet and lovey when he wants, that is him in a nutshell..very high strung.

Cats can be so finicky. Good luck with the water issue. We've always had dogs. Have a good day.

They like things in cycles. Cats are finicky.

He is rarely satisfied with anything, unless it is some kind of delicious food.
