Yesterday we talked about cats in water. Today our topic is cats drinking water. Yes, we visit this subject every once in a while. Why? Because it\u2019s important. Cats don\u2019t typically drink a lot of water because in the wilds\u2014in their genes\u2014they dine on live prey and tend to get the hydration they need. In captivity, however, we feed them kibbles, so they need more fresh water. What if your cat isn\u2019t inclined to drink much water?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s difficult to determine how much a cat is drinking![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/PlayhouseHunterBday-003-225x300.jpg\")
when there are more than one cat around. If your cat isn\u2019t drinking much or if you don\u2019t know how much water he is lapping, try these enticements. Most cats love running water for a couple of reasons. It\u2019s fresh and tastes better than water that\u2019s been sitting around in a bowl on the floor for a couple of days (or longer), and the stream of water is fun to watch and play in.<\/p>\n

If your cat can be a water-waster\u2014wants the tap water running all the time, invest in a fountain made specifically for cats. There are a wide variety of fountains for cats being manufactured now. Here\u2019s a site offering reviews to help you choose which one to buy for your cat. I can tell you that Lily sure loves hers. The pump is electric so we unplug it when we leave the house and when we have a pet sitter (just so they don\u2019t forget to fill it.) We don\u2019t want it to run out of water and start smoldering or something. There are battery operated fountains, however. Lily\u2019s fountain is getting pretty old. We may opt for the battery operated one next, if the reviews on them are good. Visit this site and do additional research and surprise your kitty with a water fountain. Let me know how it goes.<\/p>\n
