That is one reason I recommended changing it daily! But, standing
water is bad news, and I see open receptacles all over the 'hood - in
front yards, alleyways, yards... For folks with garden ponds - yes,
there are some around here - and bird baths that don't get cleaned out
daily, you can purchase tablets that keep the water relatively clean.

So do the breeding mosquitoes know to stay away from all this
standing water you want left all over for cats?

Regarding animals and trees:
Many of us have indoor-outdoor cats, as well as strays that we
feed. Please make sure to keep lots of *fresh* water available for
them outside, preferably in a nice, shady spot. We also have lots
of wildlife in the neighborhood (including birds)! Consider leaving
a large, shallow bowl of water for them in your back and/or front
yard. And always keep LOTS of fresh water available to your indoor
pets.
*Make sure to change water daily. *And, don't leave your dogs
outside!
Young trees also need not be ignored right now. If you have one
near your house, give it a nice drink, at least 5 gallons per week -
tree tenders on the list, feel free to correct the amount/frequency
here. You could also alternate waterings with your neighbors. This
is a great way to use your recycled/grey water!
Conserve and recycle. :-)
