More and more people are raising cats now, but not everyone knows how to raise a cat. There are many things to pay attention to when raising a cat, such as drinking water. The following types of water are not recommended for cats to drink, and they even include water from drinking fountains. This is equivalent to "chronic suicide" and is so ignorant.
Water that has been in the water dispenser for more than 7 days
Some pet owners may directly take the water from the water dispenser to their cats, but because the water dispenser has multiple water inlets and outlets, it is difficult to completely disinfect the water dispenser. As the water gradually decreases, bacteria will breed in the water dispenser, so the water in the water dispenser also has a shelf life. It is best not to exceed 7 days, otherwise the cat will be easily infected with bacteria.
Pet owners should not drink water from the water dispenser for more than 7 days, and they should pay attention to regular cleaning and disinfection.
Alcohol
Alcohol cannot be given to cats. Pet owners who have cats at home must put the alcohol away. Because the cat's liver cannot decompose alcohol, even if the cat drinks only a little bit of alcohol, it may develop symptoms of liver failure, and it will also have a great impact on the cat's central nervous system. If the intake is large, It may also cause poisoning and death of cats.
Giving a cat a drink is no different than killing it. Pet owners should not be too ignorant.
Tea
Tea is relatively common in life, but it must not be given to cats. Because tea contains Class A xanthine, this substance will poison cats. If cats drink tea, they will have symptoms of drooling, vomiting, and loss of appetite. In severe cases, they may also experience accelerated heartbeat, convulsions, and excitement. , or even death from heart failure.
Therefore, pet owners must pay attention and do not put tea where cats can touch it.
Soda
Soda is a drink we often drink, but it cannot be given to cats. Because soda contains caffeine and carbon dioxide and other substances, the cat’s body cannot decompose them, which can cause symptoms such as excitement, rapid heartbeat, and loss of appetite. Moreover, soda contains a lot of sugar, which can easily lead to obesity, tooth decay, and other problems in cats.
Milk
Many pet owners may give their cats milk if they want to supplement their nutrition. But did you know that most cats are actually lactose intolerant, especially kittens, who may experience symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea after drinking milk, which is not good for the cat's health.
If you want to supplement your cat’s nutrition, you can choose goat milk powder , which is specially designed for pets.
Salt water
I believe anyone who has kept cats for a long time knows that cats cannot eat food that is too salty, otherwise it will easily cause the cat to lose hair, have tear marks, and increase the burden on the kidneys. So never give your cat salt water. This is only harmful to the cat but not beneficial. Don’t be too ignorant.
Since the above water cannot be given to cats, what kind of water should cats drink? In fact, you only need to feed your cat cool boiled water, but remember to change it every day and clean the water container to avoid bacterial infection. If the cat doesn’t like to drink water, the pet owner can put some freeze-dried snacks in the water bowl to tempt the cat to drink.
Conclusion: What kind of water do you usually give your cat to drink?
