Cats are truly amazing animals that deserve our love. However, this does not mean that these creatures do not have their own peculiarities, if not to say quirks.
One of them is that the cat refuses to drink water from the bowl bought for him. Let's try to figure out why the pet suddenly becomes capricious.
The reason is in the water
If you haven't washed the dishes in a while, or if a lot of time has passed since you filled the bowl with water, your cat's water may develop an unpleasant odor or become stale.
There is only one way out - do not forget about hygiene and regularly change the water, as well as clean the container from dirt.
It's all about the bowl
If everything is clean, check if the bowl you offered to the cat is big enough.
The fact is that the cat's long whiskers, which it uses to explore the world around it, can touch the walls of the bowl, thereby causing discomfort to the animal.
If you can't find a suitable bowl at the pet store, try replacing it with a water fountain. This way, you can be sure that the whiskers will be safe.
The arrangement of the dishes is to blame
Discomfort, turning into protest, also occurs in the purring cat if the bowls filled with water and food are too close to each other.
Try taking the container with the liquid to another place that is no less safe and convenient for your pet.
