Cats don't like to drink water, do they need to be watered?

Are you still worrying about your cat's water intake?

Well, if the furry child at home doesn't drink water, it doesn't matter to the cat himself, but he is so anxious to be a shit shoveler.

A few days ago, an owner even went wild. He sent a private message:

The cat drinks a poor amount of water every day. Do you want to inject it directly with a needle?

Emmm, it's not necessary when it's necessary.

How much water should a cat drink a day?

Let me give you an example, a 1kg kitten should drink about 30-40ml of water every day.

According to this conversion, a 5kg cat needs to drink 150-200ml of water every day.

If the cat does not drink enough water, it will lead to various diseases such as constipation, cystitis and urethritis.

Do you need to force water your cat?

There may be a shit shovel officer to ask, since drinking water is so important, do you need to force the cat to water it?

For example, use a needle to feed the cat's mouth every day.

In fact, the situation is not so serious.

If the cat is not sick due to lack of water, we can slowly guide the cat to drink water to increase their water intake.

In other words, if the cat is forcibly watered, there may be some increased risk.

For example, the owner choked on the cat during the process of watering the cat because of his unskilled technique.

If you choke on the lungs, it may cause foreign body pneumonia.

In severe cases, the cat may die.

How to naturally increase your cat's water intake, here are a few tips for you.

-1 Feed the cat wet food

Wet food refers to food with a relatively high water content, such as canned staple food or raw food.

Feeding wet food can not only enhance the nutrition of cats, but also indirectly increase the water intake of cats to a certain extent.

A friend I know is that cats have been eating canned food since childhood.

Good guy, that cat is strong and sturdy and looks better than any other cat.

-2 mobile water dispensers

As we all know, cats love flowing water.

Therefore, replacing the cat's fixed water bowl with a mobile water dispenser can greatly improve the cat's drinking water.

-3 water basins and food basins are opened separately

Some shit shoveling officers use the kind of water basin and food basin that are connected together.

The disadvantage is that if the cat food in the food bowl falls into the water and pollutes the water quality, the cat will no longer drink the water in it.

So it is best to keep the water basin and food bowl away.

-4 Don't let the water in the cat's bowl always bottom out

If you are careful enough, you will find that when the water in the cat's water basin is almost bottomed out, the cat will not drink it.

That is they feel that the water is not fresh enough.

So once the shit shoveling officer finds that some water has been drank, fill it up as soon as possible.

The above 4 points are several methods introduced, you may wish to try it.

In addition, if you want your cat to drink more water, it is best to develop a good habit of drinking water from an early age.

In the dry summer, please be sure to pay attention to the problem of cats drinking water.
