I sarted giving the boys (UK) pint sized glasses of water when I lived in London. Steve always kept a glass by his bed and was disturbed more than once by the boys lapping away at it.
Diz now has his own pint glass in my room - he seems to prefer it to any other source. I got rid of the fancy Cat-It running water fountain in the end - he used it sometimes, but not enough to justify the cost of the filters.
Very occasionally he shames me by drinking out of the birdbath in the garden. But I only don't like it because it has bird poop and feathers in it (Dad cleans it on a regular basis) and not because - as Mum thinks - that Diz is too posh for it! Posh? He drinks out of a pint glass not a cocktail glass!
I do monitor his water intake carefully. But there are three sources in the house and another three in the garden. I just have to keep on top of his glass because he is shut in for up to four hours at a time (see various posts re bad Diz bullying behaviour). As another poster suggested he can go without food, but his water gets renewed every day (I keep a close eye on his litter for the same reason)
