I haven't been owned by a cat for a couple decades. My current owners in this household are two male shih tzu dogs. Both were introduced to a large water bottle with stainless steel tube by the kennel owner. The patented stand is counter weighted. Our dogs like the set up (think of a rabbit with a water bottle licking the tube for water).
This might be a long stretch to satisfy your feline. As caretaker of these two canine boys, I can't say how much I appreciate this set up. No relation to owners of website, just a very satisfied customer. No spills
