I have had to leave him at home a couple of days this week but most of the time I work from home for most of the week. When I work in the office I empty his tray morning before work, as soon as I get home and then a couple of times during the evening as when I notice it needs doing.
Sounds like an awful lot of emptying to me. Ours is diabetic and he's always peeing. It gets emptied when the litter in it is completely clumped, or if he's done a dump (which is, without fail, every morning before breakfast!)You might not see him drinking at all, but as long as he's pee-ing you';re alright. Ours is the only cat in 30+yrs I've ever seen drinking water put down for him and again that's because he's diabetic so regularly thirsty. Pre-diabetes he'd only drink from pond water or a bowl that had been left outside to "cultivate" some flavour!
Never bothered with a glass bowl. The cat isn't going to give a momkeys.

Or cat crack as they are known by my neighbour. If she shakes a packet of dreamies out of her front room window my cats will join hers in her living room.
^..^
Cat crack indeed. We have to keep Dreamies in a sealed glass jar, in a high cupboard, these days.
For the ultimate cat crack, try freeze dried chicken. My 4 could take or leave other treats, but if they hear a tub of freeze dried chicken being opened, they'll come running - and fight each other for them.
As a result, they don't get them often, and are strictly rationed when they do get them.
Bloody annoying having 4 cats follow you around for the next half hour....

He is getting more confident. To be honest I'm not in a huge rush so can go at his pace.
My local pet shop gave me a packet of Applaws to try. Apparently it's very good for him. I thought it smelt disgusting but apparently not to a cat as he ate the lot.
