I agree with others that it could be a) good fun chaos, or b) problem with the water dish. Make sure it is clean, full, a comfortable size, height, position. Cats really appreciate fresh water and a fountain is a good kindness for them. Sometimes it makes a slight noise and they don’t like the noise. So you have to check the return policy in case you need to try a couple of them til you find one with no bothersome noise.

Depending on the local circumstance you can consider leaving a tap dripping for them into a bowl. Like in the bathtub or bathroom sink. But you will possibly be starting a life long habit.

Or I guess you could just put the water dish in the bath tub to limit splash damage.
