Can you put cat food and water bowls together? Many people are mistaken
Owners of domestic cats and cats in most cases transfer their pets to dry food. This is very convenient, but you need to provide your four-legged friends with drinking water.
To achieve this, most people leave a drinking container next to the food bowl. It seems that the animals should be grateful for such care.
But veterinarians disagree with this statement.
A cat by nature does not drink water near the place where it eats, because the corpse of the herbivore that it has hunted usually lies for several days, and the cat eats it for several days. If it lies near the watering hole, the water in this place will be poisoned with bacteria, and the cat will not drink this water, - veterinarian Elena Kaynova said on the air of the radio station " Moscow Speaks ".
This character trait has been preserved in the cat at the instinctive level.
Therefore, you need to remove the bowl or other container with water for the cat to another place.
At the same time, owners should monitor how much water their pet drinks. If the amount is insufficient, then the attractiveness of the source clearly leaves much to be desired.
