Move the water away from the food. Get bowls that are wider and shallower than those so kitty’s whiskers don’t touch the sides when drinking and eating. Cats like separation between food and water, and they don’t like their whiskers touching the bowl when they eat.

Might make mealtimes easier for kitty.

Except for some cats that show their face down a glass to drink, with their whiskers completely squashed between them and the glass.

And apparently prefer it that way. Most cats will not like it but some do.

Your water is always worth the effort. It hasn’t been sitting in a bowl all day.

That is true, but the glass could also stand on the table the whole day and ge didn't care. By the end he got his own glass and he loved it just the same, our water was however still a bit better.

Also, get ceramic bowls and keep them clean. Plastic and metal ones are associated with cat acne....
