The cat gets fresh water daily but wants to drink out of the bathroom sink. Water, soap, and toothpaste. Yum.
Another thing you can and should do anyways is add water to their food. Even if it's kibble. That's how they got most of their water in nature, through food.
My cat actually prefers her kibble with a few ounces of water added now. Idk if they have a sense for things being watered down like we do, at least my cat certainly doesn't.
They like running water. Apparently there are water dishes for cats that provide this as a feature.
Yes, I've been through several cheap ones now and I finally shelled out for a PetLibro one that knocks the others out of the water entirely. Highly recommend. Encourages my cat to drink and runs much more cleanly and quietly than the others. Plus there's no slimy pump cable dangling around and being generally annoying when I go to add water or clean it.
I'm partial to this company as I got their auto feeder a while back and that had also been pretty solid. So now they match ๐ธ I'm sure there's other good ones out there though.
Issue with the cheap ones is the filter systems tend to be poorly thought out so all sorts of junk gets past them. Also, if any light shines into the tank it's impossible to keep up with algae growth without dumping the entire tank every other day. Which wastes water and defeats the purpose of the tank.
Its the minerals. Maybe put a tiny bit of toothpaste in her bowl (super tiny)?
Don't do that. They just go after places that smell like you. Give them water in a used glass.l if you have to.
