Jon-Anne, Belle also likes to tip over her water dish. We solved the problem by swapping it with the food dish, which does not have a lip. Belle likes to drink water from anywhere but where she is supposed to. We originally had a water bottle, but she seldom used that and always went for the cat's bowl instead, so we switched to a little bowl for her. Belle likes to drink out of the mug of water Richard keeps by our bed at night (a good heavy mug she can't tip over ;-)), and in the mornings when we are brushing our teeth, we dump some water in the tub for her to lap up.
