Why dont my cat drink from her water dish?
I clean the bowl. I give her fresh water. The cat will climb into my tub and drink the left over water from there? Its totaly wacked out. Is it because they dont like cold water? She use's her drinking dish to dip her paws in and clean herself. I really dont like her in the tub, but I dont want her to dehidrate!
If you'r feeding your cat wet food, as you should be, she may not need to drink.
Wet food, like fresh killed prey, is about 80% water. Cats are desert creatures by nature and one of the ways they've evolved to survive in the desert is that they get their moisture from their prey. If they're eating mainly canned or pouch food, they're getting their moisture from their meals.
If they're eating dry food and not drinking, then you've got a problem! As desert creatures, cats have a very poorly developed thirst reflex, and if they're not getting enough moisture in their food, they're apt to not drink enough to make up for it. Very serious health problems can result from that.
My late, great Rusty ate wet food and in his entire life I only saw him drink once. That was outside, from a fresh rain puddle. He always had a bowl of fresh water available, but he never used it.
My current cat, Scamper, has been with me for months now, and I have yet to see him drink.
So if you're feeding kitty wet food, don't worry about her not drinking. If you're not feeding wet food, worry a lot and get her to a vet. And read here to learn why you should be feeding her wet food!
