Glue it down.
change the bird bath get a hanging one if your attached to the one you have then try cement and gorilla glue
scare the cat when you see it. use a stick or buy something that looks close to a stick that would stay on the ground and tie string or something that would stay tight around the dish so it doesn’t tip over
Kill the cats. Just kidding, you just need a sturdy bird bath.
that’s easy! Just Kok it! If it looks bad then use some really strong glue!
We raised ours higher by building up four courses of bricks between the base and the pedestal – now the dish is too high for the cats to bother jumping up.
I had the same problem. Actually, it was neighborhood children that kept breaking it, so it was worse than cats. Finally, I gave up on cement, which should be permanent but as you’ve discovered isn’t. I purchased a low-cost plastic one. The base is filled with sand, so it’s stable, and the top is attached to the base with screws, so it won’t easily come off. It has tipped a few times, but didn’t break. A much better investment. If you don’t like the look of plastic, Krylon makes a paint especially for outdoor plastics, a touch up coat of any color would personalize it for you.
