Did you know most cats walk around a little dehydrated all the time? For this reason, a cat water fountain is a wise investment! Cats, just like humans, prefer fresh, cool drinking water at all times, which is why many cat lovers report watching their cats drinking from a fresh glass of water you just poured for yourself or having their cats hop up on the sink for water while you’re brushing your teeth. Better still are those frisky felines that hop in the shower after you’ve bathed, just to lick the drain!
As adorable as it may be to have your cat drinking from the kitchen or bathroom sink, or coming barreling in after you’ve finished your shower, it’s not always possible to leave the water running for them. And, the fact of the matter is, cats are more likely to drink if the water is fresh and moving.
Offering a cat water fountain for your cat to drink from keeps water fresh and tastier, which are things that stagnant bowl water lacks. If you think about it, would you want to drink a glass of water that has been sitting on the table for the better part of a day or would you prefer to drink from a cool, running stream?
Cats also seem to prefer moving water, which may be why you’ve caught
your cat drinking off her paw, blowing bubbles, or splashing that
stagnant water in his bowl before taking a drink. Your cat may be trying
to create the illusion that the water is moving, not just playing
around!
It is important for all cats to get enough moisture for a number of reasons, but most importantly, for overall feline urinary tract health. For cats with a history of urinary tract blockages and crystals or those dealing with feline kidney disease, a cat water fountain is an essential cat supply to have at home.
A cat water fountain will encourage your kitty to drink more. Because the amount of moisture in a cat’s body provides critical support to the urinary and kidney systems, the better hydrated your kitty, the healthier they will be! And, this is true even for cats that are otherwise healthy and have great urinary tract health.
Proper care of your pet water fountain is an important part of owning one. Stock up on replacement filters for replacement every 6-8 weeks and be sure to have the proper cleaning tools. Keeping your cat fountains clean and running at their best will keep your cats at their healthiest!
