It is a unique question and glad for some solutions.. I want it for international travel with our 2 cats in their kennel that doesn't leave a wet cage due to spillage. They've actually grown comfortable with their cage and now use it for sleeping with the door open at odd times during the day. (Started as a preventative to their clever ways: door scratching and jumping up to open the door handle..) As for the bottle:I've seen it before with other travelers and wanted to try the rabbit bottle but they need more coaxing.. I'll try the lick approach.. HI,

My cat just had surgery and has to be restricted to a kennel space for 8 weeks (so hard!). He always knocks his water bowls over so I have to get him big heavy dog bowls, but I wanted to keep it small so he has more space to move around in the kennel. This sounds like good option, I'm going to go out tonight to find a bottle! Thanks for the article! My cat just had surgery and has to be restricted to a kennel space for 8 weeks (so hard!).

We can't leave it running for him because of hard water stains, so I'm trying this rabbit thing using every trick in the book, but he is just sort of refusing. I think you're right about the plastic. He seems to prefer this tap for some reason and hates drinking out of bowls even though we use ceramic. I thought it might have something to do with positioning, but it may be a matter of taste. Now all I need is a kleen canteen version of animal bottles.
