Has anyone ever had a cat that does this and if so how did you stop it?

Water is provided, purified store bought water as a matter of fact and yet he insists on lapping at the condensation on the windows.
 

Mine drink out of the toilet bowls....and leave footprints round the bowl.
i have given up; they won't drink water out of a cat bowl at all.
flower vases are also another place they like...
 
Vivjen, I solved the toilet thing by making sure the seat was down. He repaid me by unrolling the toilet paper and shredding it. Been there done that several times so I started keeping a citrus scent air freshener there. Cats hate citrus.

So I tried spraying the window with lemon water. That worked for a day. Either the cat likes lemonade or he is immune to the taste....grrrrrr
 

I didn't know that about citrus...thanks.
doesn't solve your problem though....have you tried cleaning the windows with diluted vinegar?
he may not like that....
must go for a minute....mine think it is teatime, and won't leave me alone!
 
Vivjen, peel an orange and watch the cat back up if you hold it to him. I use orange peels in the garden to repel cats.

The vinegar sounds like a great idea, will try and let you know.
 
Funny, but my husband was telling me that our cat also likes olive juice. My cat never licked the windows, but if he did I wouldn't worry about it too much, as long as he was healthy and drinking water from his bowl. He drinks out of the dog bowl, I tried giving him his own little bowl, but he's not interested. I wipe down the front windows pretty often due to the cat and dog.
 
Licking windows cleaned with Windex is not a good thing. Sort of reminded me of mom cleaning out your mouth with soap when you said a naughty word.

I tried the vinegar, he might not mind the taste of Windex but he sure scampered away from the vinegar mighty quick, never saw a cat with that facial expression before :playful:

Olive juice, must try that one. He could eat it along with his cheese and crackers.
