How to Make a Cat Drink Water
It can be difficult to get your cat to drink more water. You might have to try a few different things until you find something she likes. Start with one or more of the suggestions below to see how your cat reacts.
Choose the Proper Water Bowl: If your cat’s current water bowl is deep and narrow, it may brush up against her whiskers, which is unpleasant. To see if your cat drinks more, try changing her water bowl to a wider, shallower dish with a smaller lip.
Put it in the Right Place: While it may be tempting to put your cat’s food and water bowls in an out-of-the-way location, cats dislike being boxed into a corner. They prefer places where they can see their surroundings quickly and don’t have to worry about anyone following them. Check to see if moving her water bowl helps.
Maintain Freshness: The longer water sits, the more particles it accumulates. Dust, dirt, hair, and other debris can accumulate in your cat’s water bowl, making her less likely to drink from it. Fill her bowl with fresh water once or twice a day.
