CATDOLL : My cat doesn’t like to drink water. How can I make it drink water on its own initiative?

How to get your cat to drink water:

1. Place multiple water bowls at different locations. Some cats are picky about the material, color, depth, etc. of their water bowls. You can use ceramic, glass, plastic, and water bowls of different styles to please your cat and attract it to drink more water. Cats are naturally curious and like to explore. Placing water bowls in sinks, kitchen cabinets, etc. can encourage cats to explore and remind them to drink water.

2. Pet owners should prepare enough clean water for cats. Cats love cleanliness and have high requirements for the cleanliness of water. If there is hair, dust or the smell of spoiled food residue in the water bowl, cats will refuse to drink water.

3. Adding flavors that cats like, such as catnip, to the water can make the water taste better and make cats love drinking water more.

4. Add some warm water to the kitten’s food so that the kitten can eat food and drink water at the same time.

Effects of dehydration on cats:

1. It can easily cause cats to suffer from urinary system diseases, including cystitis, urethritis, bladder stones, kidney disease, etc.

2. It can easily cause the cat's feces to become dry and hard, resulting in difficulty in defecation, constipation, and even symptoms of giant colitis.

3. In summer, cats are prone to heatstroke if they drink less water. If a cat accidentally gets heatstroke, you can move the cat to a cool and ventilated place, wipe the cat's body with a wet towel, and give the cat clean water to relieve the symptoms of dehydration.
