If your cat doesn't like to drink from his bowl, the problem is most likely not with the bowl itself or the quality of the water.

And the fact that the water bowl is next to the food bowl. We explain why cats don't like it.

Why does a cat not want to drink from a bowl?

The reason for this behavior lies in the natural instincts of cats.

The wild ancestors of our mustachioed pets separated the processes of eating and drinking.

That's why domestic cats really don't like it when bowls with food and water are nearby.

If your cat is tipping over the water bowl or refusing to drink at all, simply move the water away from the food.
