Water should enter the cat's body regularly and in sufficient quantities.
Failure to replenish fluid deficiency in a timely manner may cause problems with the pet's urinary system.
Usually cats quench their thirst in time. However, sometimes fluffy creatures refuse to drink water. And this is a clear cause for concern.
There are two common reasons why a pet's bowl or water bottle remains filled with liquid for a long time.
The cat doesn't like water
Perhaps the animal is unhappy with the quality of the liquid.
An abundance of salts and other impurities in water can be the reason why your pet refuses to drink.
Offer him filtered or bottled water. If the fluffy one starts drinking it, then everything is fine. This means that the problem is really in the low quality of the initially offered liquid.
The cat got sick
But if changing the water does not produce any results, then it is possible that the cat has developed health problems.
Reluctance to drink liquids can be associated with a number of dangerous illnesses.
If even the slightest suspicion arises, the owner is obliged to show his pet to the veterinarian.
