Some cat owners complain that their “charges” agree to drink only running water – that is, the one that flows from the tap in the bathroom or kitchen.

We will not figure out why this happened, but we will remind you of the importance of satisfying the animal’s need for water, especially if its diet consists of dry food.

Otherwise, you may face such a problem as the development of urolithiasis in your pet and the deposition of stones in the kidneys and bladder.

Let's quickly find out what can be done in such a situation.

To begin with, try offering your cat water from a special fountain-shaped drinking bowl.

Because this device constantly circulates water, it's likely that your meowing pet will find it a worthy alternative to tap water.

If this trick doesn't work, you have another chance to wean your cat off drinking tap water.

To do this, you will need to place a bowl of water in an unusual place where your pet will definitely notice it, or fill a large container with water, such as a bucket or vase.
