10 Tips to Help Your Cat DRINK WATER 😿 

I got mine a fountain earlier this year, she just sat there and stared at it for about 10 minutes. lol

Tip: Use a bowl that's very wide! Cats don't like their super sensitive whiskers to be touched. The bowl used in this video is nowhere near wide enough.

Thank you so much! My cat was not drinking from her plastic water fountain but I gave her a glass bowl of water instead and she drank it!

My cat likes to stand in the bath and drink from a very finely running cold tap. 👍

The vet had to re-hydrate my cat twice in twelve months - and after the last session she still wasn't drinking any water. I never feed her dry food. I remedied the problem by feeding her cat soups and adding a little water to her meals. I can tell by the clumps in her litter tray that she is urinating normally now - and she has returned to her normal happy self after previously sleeping 24/7 for days on end.

I wanna know why my cat likes to go absolutely crazy at random times, especially at night when its bed time, she'll get very energized and run all over the bed, up and down her cat tree through the halls, what makes a cat basically go crazy/lose their mond for a good min then relax like they didnt smoke crack just before

when i gave my cat another bowl of water in a diffrent room she became a diffrent and happier cat!! i couldnt believe it!! learned that cats like choices!.

I started watching this and it was like my new kitten knew lol he immediately started drinking his water. I’ll definitely look into a fountain.

My cat only drinks straight out of the sink or cups that the people’s drink out of

"Some cats don't like the taste of the tap water, so you should try to give them better quality water" 😥 But I can't do that, for I live in Finland and the tap water is the best quality water we have here. 😥

I love that fountain. I’d love to get that for my girls. I have a big drinkwell one but that rocks

That water fountain looks amazing! You should prolly add the link where to buy it (:

I moved my cats water from the plastic double bowl into a stainless steel bowl,using filtered water and today was the first time I've seen her drink just water this year. Previously I've had to add a small amount of milk to her water to get her to drink as well as just feed her wet food.

Yesterday my cat collapse without warning, so I rush to vet and he say my cat(14 years old) is healthy, nothing wrong with organs, blood test came out great and his only problem was dehydratation and vet said "you know, he is geriatric and it same with elderly cat like with elderly human. Your cat don´t feel thirst"...he also said, that many bowls, fountain...etc won´t work without human help, so we must take our senior cat to water and if he refuse to drink, use syringe and help him that way

Now I have this for my girls and it ROCKS. They love it. I’m a bit concerned about no filters but I just need to scrub it regularly. I did that anyway with the drinkwell and that had filters lol

Thank you for the useful tips ♡

Thank you.. this was a big help

Can someone tell me where I can get this fountain in this video it’s so cute

Great tips, thanks!

I just got a new cat and she wouldn’t drink anything and this really helped she started drinking so thanks!

I know my fur baby is drinking enough water by the many pee balls in her litter pan, sometimes they are kinda huge. I use clumping litter obviously.

_Great info, cat has beautiful eyes. Thanks for posting+good day_ 💜

My cat never drinks his water, thanks for the tips!

Good informative video. However acting on advice I had many years ago I always use a large ceramic dog bowl for my cats' water. They always seem to love it and therefore drink more. The depth also helps to keep the water a bit cooler in hot weather.

My cat had bladder problems when young. So I swapped to only wet food mashed up with plenty of water. Kept him well, although he never drinks any water. But now age 14y and having had a dental op, and the blazing heat, he is hardly eating, so not getting much fluid. And also has slight uti. Will def put bowls all round the flat for him. I have a fountain which his sister loves. Doh. I have also given him a bit of cat milk diluted with water, which he has drunk. Thanks for all the tips. Off to cook some fish for the broth

I have 2 kitties and they just turned 1 month today. I adopted them from one of my friends and they haven't been drinking water. They only drink milk

My cat as far as I know very rarley drinks water but she has a really healthy coat and otherwise seems very happy.

If a cat is fed a proper diet they will drink very little water. A thirty cat is a cat that is probably fed dry food

Thanks so much. It is a hot summer in my part of the world & I often worry my Bebe isn’t drinking enough water & how much she should actually consume 😸.

this helps me with my cats

I like your page 💖

I got my cat of 2 years old from the shelter , would him adjusting to the new environment affect how much he drinks ?

my cat drinks water when i pour it on the floor but he doesnt drink it in the bowl. LOL.😂

Since I moved to an older place and upstairs my male cat seven or eight years old does not get out. He quit work drinking water completely. He had a combination of a wet and dry diet urinary tract infections twice in the last six months and done antibiotics and he got better and then it came back So we did more medicine which is torture and I cannot get him to drink. I’m putting water in his wet food also chicken broth without sodium a squirt water in his mouth but not enough because I cannot water board my cat. He did not like the foundation at all. He does not drink out of the sink like most cats. He used to drink out of my cup but does not anymore and he does not drink No matter what kind of bowl I use. I have tried all suggestions and I don’t know what else to do .he’s in good spirits And not in pain. They tell people to keep their cats inside they don’t tell them the risk factors never getting any exercise. I have tried everything and I don’t know what to do yeah I can feed him prescription cat food mixed with people food fish, chicken I just don’t know how long we’re going to go on like this. I wish there were more answers

This may or may not apply to my cat's hydration however she's been throwing up her food constantly and we had the vet tell us nothing was visibly wrong with her (through x-ray and evaluation). Could it be that she's not drinking enough daily or is she just picky? (She is 9 years old and quite the chonker)

My cat is in surgery right now due to lack of drinking. Hopefully everything will be alright and these tips will help in future

My cat can’t balance his chin above the water and ends up dunking his chin and nose in the water :/ any tips? He is very elderly, 20 years old.

There are other benefits to cats drinking either from a fountain or (if you have a picky cat like mine) from a continuous drip of water from the faucet. There's a reason standing water is such a huge issue in the food industry. It is an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, flies, and various bacteria and parasites. No, you're not likely to get into much trouble if you're regularly changing and refilling their dish, but stagnant water develops a stale quality that many animals just don't like. I tend to have various sources of water for my cat around the house for her, including water bowls. I'm also a little lucky because our landlord pays the water bill. Because of this, a small, dripping stream from one sink gets her drinking water consistently. This isn't feasible for many, so a fountain might go a long way. My cat was really sick as a kitten (we couldn't afford blood tests to figure out why, but a Hail Mary pass of steroids and antibiotics saved her life), and during that time she became severely dehydrated. She had to subcutneous injections of water multiple times to help solve that immediate issue, and I had to regularly give her water with a syringe. Ever since then, I've been incredibly vigilant of her water intake. She has no problems with it now, but I still keep a close eye out of habit and lingering worry. Before it ever reaches such an extreme point, making sure cats have a water system in place that fulfills their needs and preferences is essential. Also, I've seen some cats who don't care, but keeping water and food in separate spaces really seems to be the overall tactic.

There is a feral cat out back. I feed it from time to time. Not sure if it likes water. It never drinks.

I saw that my cat was not drinking water so I pour water in her food. Then I bought her a fountain 😭 she looked at it and stared at me because it wasn’t food

Will lt do the cat any harm lf the filter is on backwoods on my pioneer pet and ls plastic safe ty

I add a bit of water.. tiny amount … to her wet food…. And continue adding a bit till she finishes all the wet food….which she will eventually do! We call it catsup! She’s 15 and never been sick! 🤷‍♂️

Why would you add water or stock to the dry food? Also water to the wet food? My cat doesn't like wet food.

My cat primarily eats dry food the only wet food she eats is tuna (not the cat food tuna). She doesn't drink out of bowls she only drink up of a cups or sometimes rain water. My cat doesn't have behavior problems she is absolutely lovely and social the only bad thing in her life would be the other cat kit cat 😅 but they most avoid each other

my cat's ear keeps bleeding (she's 11) and when I give her water in a cup she won't drink it. she never drinks water

I just got my 6 week old kitten about 3 days ago. I have/had no previous experience or knowledge with pets. But my kitten is not drinking water and is barely eating any food. So pls help. I’m in so much stress

Suddenly my cat stop drinking water and eating less food,she only eats now soft food can't eat cat dry food and blinks her eyes alot,i don't know what to do,plz suggest me what to do

OK, so my cats quantity and frequency of water intake is money based, the more i spend on bigger bowls, filtered water and fountain type drinking apparatus the less he will drink - I give up. He seems perfectly happy to drink from the tap, so i let him drink as much as he likes while I'm brushing my teeth or taking a relaxing bath. He's an absolute nut job , but i love him to bits.

Looks like my cat ❤

Our kitty Gizmo only drinks water when we fill the sink for him. We figure this falls in line with the “only Fresh” water cat-egory, however I’ve also noticed that despite him being perfectly healthy with no sign of vision problems, he will “paw 🐾 “ at it as though he has trouble seeing the water 💧 itself 🙀. Is it possible due to the highly reflective nature of water that in a way it could be blinding his highly sensitive eyes to light? He dose appear to squint as he’s drinking 🤔.

My cat never drank water. I had a fountain but it didn't work. I found that getting cat soup and mixing it with water was the only way to get him to drink. Now he's drinking 250ml per day. I use felix or cosma cat soup watered down. A cheaper option is to get those licky stix paste tubes and water then down. Basically any water soluble food your cat loves

My Cats used to drink water from a water fountain, but suddenly stopped and started playing with it to the point of dismantling it. They also do not want to drink water from a bowl, so what shall I do?

I don't have a cat , still think this is useful information

I left the ceramic fountain running for 2 months, but never saw either cat drink from it.

My cat will only drink from our sink, never a bowl but he did get into a bowl of tomato soup once 🙃

There are stray cats outside my house that won't drink water. I've left it out and even in the 100 degree heat in my area, they just leave it alone.

I found a kitty, about 3 no old or so. She was roaming the streets for a while so I decided to bring her home. It took her a whole day to eat but it’s been almost a week and she still hasn’t drank anything. I tried giving her fresh water a couple of times but she’ll just ignore it. I’m worried 😟 someone help

A cat I am friends with won't drink water and it's driving me mad. When she gets thirsty she asks me for food and then only licks the gravy off or the jelly, or the soup part and doesn't eat the meat. So I get loads of plates of meat to clean up everyday. I got her a fountain and she hates it. I wish someone would sell liquid for cats to drink. There are some on Amazon US but they are all sold out. I'll try getting her a huge shallow glass dish to drink from and see if that helps. So annoying how you have to keep trying various things just to get the madam to drink some effing water.

My kitten is about 4 5 weeks and she is not drinking water at all. I've tried multiple times to have her drink water but she keeps resisting

I have two cats, my boy drinks from the fountain regularly while my baby girl will drink my bath water. I take at least three baths a day. It's not for cleaning, it's for soaking as I have pain in my joints, it's just water, I promise. At least she's drinking water?

what should I do when winter??? My cat not much drink in this time plz ans.

Where can I buy this water dish?

One way for your cat to drink "water" is you can give them wet food it gives them a lot of hydration

Thank you my cat is drinking

My cat likes his water warm

It works! I put chicken stock mixed with a few of his favourite dry kibble that espcially made to dissolve struvite and he drank the stocks! He kept trying to eat the kibble, but since there were lot of water, he ended up drank 90% of it. In the end, he didn't interest in the kibble anymore. Thank you thank you for the tips! I'm having q hard time right now because he has been diagnosed with FLUTD and likely acute kidney failure if not properly treat. He has crystal/struvite on his bladder and had a blockage. He had been on cathetered a few days ago in the clinic and just went home. He can pee again. One way to flush the crystals out is to drink a LOT of water. Sadly, he is known to drink less water. These tips help and also the fountain. Once again thank you, kind human, to share helpful tips. You're a hero!

I got mine a fountain because she has had to get a shot of water because she was so dehydrated but she is scared of it. I don’t know what to do anymore. I hope it doesn’t lead to urinary track infection. I have done everything. Put bowels everywhere in the house, shallow bowels, add water to wet and dry food. I also feed her wet food everyday but she seems to like the dry better.. and my vet is kinda rude and won’t make time to answer and follow up question that I have. Someone please tell me what to do.

I have a blind kitten and she refuse to drink by herself so I have to gave her water with a pacifier every after I gave her food... I really want her to be able to drink by herself but I don't know how to train her... anybody know how?

2:00 One of my cats has a taste for stale water, used to love drinking from the fish pond, we try to get him to stop and dink filtered tap water instead, as its obviously more healthy. I still cant get over the people who give their cats milk, please dont, its not very good for their digestion.

My cat's drinking water is in a stainless steel glass (from Ikea) on the floor in the corner of the bathroom doorway. That way, it's right in front of my face whenever I use the bathroom, so it's easy for me to check both the level and the cleanliness of her water several times a day, refreshing it when necessary.

My cat is 5 to 6 weeks old he's really tiny I give him clean water but he dose not drink it if only seen him drink it 2 times as far I seen

I looked this up because I never say him drink bad as it turns out, he just doesn't like when I watch. I saw him through the window. Haha

I need some help my cat just drank egg nog and I am freaking out what do I do

I got mine a water fountain it scared my cat. She now just uses bowls .

9. 'Near the Tap or Faucet' Game! Play now, if you want your cat to become a tap or faucet addict (or to be scammed into buying expensive drinking-water fountains). Mine is... No. Was a faucet/tap addict. In one place we lived, she was a laundry-room-sink-chronic, but it was a game. She was a sort of pre-teen that could deal with boundaries. In our current place, she loves to walk around the shower spray; twice, before I can turn it off.Window/Tile Licker.? She sure is, and I love her. Yes. She does still drink from her water bowl.

I add the water to his food at least he gets a little water. he is scared of the new fountain i got him. he always preferred outside water and that could be one reason he got sick with AIDS virus for cats.

This vid is old but can someone help me? My cat eats wet food and dry food normally but she just scratches at her water bowl and doesn’t drink it. she scratches it all night but she will not drink, I’ve moved her water bowl, and given her different water bowls. I am trying to get a water fountain but my mom will not buy it for me and I am only 14 please help!!

my cat is basically an outdoors cat. Im the only person he trusts. Ive been trying to get him to poo and drink water At home but he always drinks dirty rain water, he doesnt even get near normal water unless i stay with him and just maybe he'd drink it off my finger

What if we just moved and they got a shower and dont want to drink water anymore

My cat puts his paw inside the bowl and then he splashes all the water like if he's digging for it sometimes he flips the bowl. I always find the floor wet cuz he drops the water all the time. Don't know what to do about it

Wonderful. I have gotten a fountain a couple of months ago but haven't had a chance to set it up. I hope to soon. I was previously aware that drinking and urinating a lot could be a sign of diabetes and had my cat checked. Which was a good thing as she turned out to be diabetic. I thought it would be difficult to give injections but found that isn't the case at all.

Put ice cubes in the water dish and change often.Makes a world of difference

I love me kitten I just rescued her

my cat is peeing three times a day, does this mean it's having enought water or over?

Whenever I change the water, after a few seconds I see cat hair in it!I’m worried that that’s the reason my cats aren’t drinking water?

My cat drinks water with little bit of their food in the water

My babies love water, once i got them a fountain they seem to drink water every 20 min lol

I just bought one she just runs away from it what I Do I was going to put her treats in the water

在中国 我们流行用黑色的碗，据说猫咪更喜欢。还有给猫咪羊奶。

Is that a Russian Blue? They look so much like my boy! ;u;
