What kind of bowl or what can I do to have a water bowl for my cat in a travel trailer that won’t spill?
ByWe want to take our cats on our travel trailer, and of course they need water. I was thinking of using Velcro or suction cups to keep the bowl in place, but this won’t necessarily keep the water from spilling out…any ideas?

Fill the bowl only 10% with water.

i would suggest something like one of those automatic feeders, or ahampster water thing, you know, like the thing rodents drink out of,

Either get a very deep bowl and only put a tiny bit of water in it or only give them water once you’re stopped.
How long are you taking a trip with these cats? Probably a far better idea to leave them at home. What happens when one of them dashes outside when you’re out in the middle of nowhere?
edit: a water bottle is a HORRIBLE idea as the bouncing of the car will make the water come dribbling right out.

You can take the mentioned anti-spill-bowl that you can buy at any petstore, which has a overhanging lip that prevents any spillage, and put it onto either a rubber surface or carpeting. Either way it won’t spill and they can have water when and if they want without it causing a problem. I wouldn’t suggest the water bottle though, even though if it’s a good make it takes more than a bump to spill, you would need to train your cats to use them.
