Effective Strategies to Improve Your Cat's Drinking Quality

Cats not liking water is a common problem, especially for indoor cats.

1. Reasons why cats don't like to drink water

◾Natural Habits: Cats' ancestors came from dry areas and evolved so that they were not accustomed to drinking large amounts of water, but instead obtained water through food.

◾Problems with water: Many cats prefer flowing water and still water may not meet their instinctive needs. At this point, a traditional bowl may not be able to arouse the cat's interest in drinking.

◾Water quality issues: Cats are very sensitive to the taste of water. If the water has a strong chlorine or metallic taste, it may cause them to avoid drinking. Some cats are even turned off by water in plastic containers.

◾Health problems: illnesses, such as kidney disease and urinary tract problems, may cause your cat to drink less water. Excessive water cravings or drinking too much water may also be a symptom of disease.

2.Cat Drinking Fountains Common Problems and Solutions

◾Noise: Many cat water fountains may scare cats away from approaching due to the noisy pump. Choose a water dispenser with a low noise level of dB<50, which is more likely to attract cats.

◾Unstable water flow: Unstable water flow (e.g. intermittent stoppages or unsteady water flow) can cause cats to lose interest, especially since cats prefer a constant, flowing water source. Choose a water dispenser with a strong and stable pump to ensure a constant and stable water flow.

◾Problems with the filtration system: some water fountains don't have an efficient enough filtration system to remove impurities or odors from the water, which can cause your cat to still refuse to drink. Choose a water dispenser with a multiple filtration system that can remove impurities from the water

To solve the problem of cats not loving water, you need to start from many aspects: choose a water dispenser with low noise, easy to clean, stable water flow and fresh water quality, provide a suitable water source and regular maintenance. By improving these details, you can effectively increase your cat's water intake and promote its health.
