Some felines are just too finicky to drink water from a plain bowl. If you ever spotted your pet drinking from a faucet you may already know what she needs. The sound, coolness, and freshness of running water is preferred by many cats. Your cat may enjoy drinking from a slowly running faucet, but leaving it running all day for her is impractical. Instead invest in a cat waterer or cat fountain. Most are driven by a small motor to provide a faucet-style fountain of continuously trickling filtered water for your pet. This will provide the full-time access to water that she needs in a way that she will be more apt to drink it. Cats typically drink about two and a half times the volume of dry food they eat. And factors such as high heat, exercise or caring for kittens can increase this amount greatly, so you should always provide more water than she actually drinks. Sufficient water consumption plays a major role in your cat's health. Insufficient water consumption is linked to an increase in bladder infections and crystal formation. Water helps regulate your cat's body temperature, and is necessary to aid in the digestion of dry food and the absorption of vitamins. Maintain awareness of your cat's water consumption and take action to ensure she is always drinking enough. These efforts will help keep her healthy and well hydrated.
