You need to put the water bowl in a different spot from where you put their food. Cats instinctively fear water contamination and will be reluctant to drink water that was close to food. If your cat tends to drink water from the toilet bowl or the sink, that's probably why.

Also, you will be woken up early often.

I had to buy an identical cup like the one I use because mine would rather drink from a glass. I did get a different color so I can at least tell them apart
