How do I stop my male cat from playing in the water dish? He has the floor all wet all the time. I put water in his dish then empty it as soon as he’s done drinking but I would rather leave water in the dish.,

Put a plastic tray under the water dish so that you don’t have to worry about the water splash?

^^ was going to suggest a fountain.

also, i don’t know if this came to mind Dr. M, but my queen started playing in her water more and more near the end of her life. she was an old street moggy who had detached retinas and had difficulty seeing some things. she’d play in the water first to make sure it was there, THEN she’d drink.
