  How? Cats don’t hydrate well from simply drinking water. They take water on more from their food, which is why it is important they get some kind of wet food, and not just dry kibble.

    Mine empty their bowl regularly to the point they learned to move it around noisily to make sure i know to refill it

      Not saying yours have it, but our older cats usually started drinking more once they were older due to kidney complications, caused by phosphorus in cheap cat food. Look out for that.

    My cat stopped drinking water entirely since i switched his diet to wet food. Although I do add an additional spoon of water to his food just to be sure he stays hydrated

    A little over a year ago we switched all of our cats to a wet food diet. Before that I never realized how little water they get from drinking. It is something like 1/12 of a teaspoon per “lick” (0.409ml).

      There’s no dry food in the wild; all the wild food is wet.

    It’s essentially just spam. It’s not useful information, and isn’t explained in any way as to why you should know it.

      Meh, it worked for OP. Cats are unique, it’s possible someone else could find this works for their cats because of this post. Doesn’t feel like spam to me. And it no longer has negative votes, so I guess others agree
