Running water for cats

LaSorcia said:

There are cat fountains that recycle the water, so the water is essentially running. I used to have a cat who would not drink still water at all.

If your cat progresses with their kidney problems, be sure to ask your vet about using water packs, (Ringer's solution) that you put under the skin with an IV. I do that about twice a week for my cat. It is pretty inexpensive and does seem to really help.

My previous cat developed skin cancer on her nose which I didn't detect soon enough. I did something similar for her final weeks of life until I finally found the courage to have her put to sleep. It didn't seem to hurt her even though the needle seemed pretty big.

I tried some out for my cat. There were too many parts to clean and she still went to the bathroom sink I turn on for her. So all of them were returned. Daisy now has CRF, so she also drinks a lot of still water as well. Before her diagnosis, she rarely drank from the water bowl. You would not believe how often I went in and out of my bathroom. She used my sink a lot more than I did.

Yeah, my Siamese was a sink drinker, too.

Train the cat to drink from the toilet. Flush for a fresh mouthful...

Loving water is a Siamese trait.

I can't say the same about my dad's cats.
