This is Caska, one of my daughter’s kitties.  She LOVES water, and uses her paws as drinking tools.  She also likes to play in the water, which can make for quite a mess!  So my solutions were these:

1.  Use a very heavy clay water bowl.

2.  I cut up one pad (for people beds) from Bed, Bath, & Beyond into four pieces and serged the edges.  Works great and I can switch pads out as they get saturated with water!

3. I placed pad and water bowl in a 2″ deep tray purchased from Target.

No more water flooding the floor.  Problem solved!  Does your kitty play in the water?  Did you find a good solution to keep your floors dry?
