Not all water can be given to cats to drink. There are many considerations in this. Especially the following water is comparable to "chronic poison" for cats. Don't be ignorant!
(1) Tea
Tea exists in almost every family. It is a very common thing, but if you have a cat at home, you should avoid it.
Tea contains an ingredient called methylxanthine, which can poison cats. In mild cases, cats may experience vomiting and loss of appetite. In severe cases, cats may suffer from convulsions, palpitations, abnormal emotions, and other symptoms, and may even die from heart failure.
(2) Tap water
Some scavengers are busy or lazy, so they will directly connect the water from the faucet when fetching water for cats, but this is actually comparable to chronic poison.
Tap water is not filtered, sterilized at high temperatures, and comes straight from the source. It contains a lot of heavy metals and harmful substances. If cats consume it for a long time, it will cause a serious burden on the body.
It is recommended to use cool boiled or purified water for cats to drink.
(3) Wine
Some scavengers will store wine, but remember to place it properly. Cats are very curious and they will lick it, which is harmful behavior to cats.
Cat's liver cannot completely decompose alcohol . Once alcohol is ingested by mistake, it will increase the burden on the cat's liver and cause symptoms of liver and kidney failure.
If the amount of intake is too large, the god of death may rush towards you. Such damage is unbearable for cats and shit scrapers.
(4) Toilet water
Cats are elusive creatures. The clean water in the cat bowl does not arouse their desire. They prefer to go to the toilet and drink the dirty toilet water.
Toilet water is like a magical power to cats, but we all know that there are many bacteria in toilet water, which is very unhygienic.
If cats do this for a long time, it will endanger their gastrointestinal health.
(5) "stagnant water" that has been left for a long time
If the water in the cat bowl is not changed frequently, it will breed a lot of bacteria and may be dirtier than toilet water.
Eating it is very unhealthy for cats and may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. The cat’s bowl should be cleaned frequently and the water source should be changed frequently to ensure that the cat can drink fresh water.
Cats don’t like to drink water. If their water intake is far below the standard, it will increase the burden on the kidneys and be extremely harmful. Cats need to find ways to increase their cats’ water intake.
How to increase the amount of water your cat drinks?
01, The shit shoveling officer can prepare an automatic water dispenser for the cat that is as fluid as toilet water. Use the cat’s interest in movement to increase the cat’s drinking water. A fluid water source will be much healthier than stagnant water.
02, Cats are relatively lazy and rarely get up to drink water. The poop scooper can place water bowl in the place where the cat often dens. This allows the cat to drink water anytime and anywhere, indirectly increasing the cat's drinking water.
03, You can also prepare some freeze-dried snacks that can be soaked in water and eaten. Place them in the water. Cats will find it irresistible. One mouthful of meat and one mouthful of soup will be finished for you in minutes.
Of course, if your cat drinks water frequently, this is also abnormal. It may be that the food is too salty and the cat has to drink water.
Cats’ diet should be mainly light. Excessive salt intake will increase the burden on the cat’s liver and kidneys. It is best for cats to choose a low-salt and light cat food as their staple food. The following are recommended.
Conclusion: Does your cat like to drink water?
