Cats are amazing creatures. They bring comfort to the house, but sometimes they amaze with their behavior.

For example, they may not touch the water in their bowl, but at the same time catch drops from the tap or refresh themselves with water in a glass. But why does this happen? How much water does a cat need?

As experts note, cats drink much less water compared to humans or dogs.

If the animal weighs from 4 to 6 kg, then it needs about 200 ml of water.

If a cat or a cat eats wet food, then they can drink less water. But if the pet is constantly given dry food, then it should be given more liquid.

The age of your pet should also be taken into account.

Kittens drink and eat more than an adult cat. It is also important to remember that as the cat ages, its body will also require more water.

The cat's bowl should always contain fresh and clean water.

An excellent option is filtered or bottled. The animal will not drink dirty or stagnant liquid.
