Every cat owner knows that pets love to drink water from the tap and come to it every time it is turned on.
At the same time, there may be clean water in the bowl, which the animal ignores.
But why does this happen?
Experts note that such behavior is considered normal.
Still, some cats prefer to drink fresh, cool water rather than water that has been standing for several hours at room temperature. It should be taken into account that stagnant water may contain dust and other small particles that can scare them away.
In addition, if there are several pets in the house, and they have only one bowl, then they will also not want to drink water that someone else has already tried.
The animal will also ignore a dirty or uncomfortable bowl. The cat will not like it if its bowl is in a walk-through place. In such cases, it will also prefer to drink water from the tap.
It is important to ensure that the dishes are clean. The water in the container should be changed at least twice a day.
