A water fountain, or drinking fountain, ensures that your cat gets enough fluids. Many cats forget to drink water that is in their water bowl indoors. This may be because they got enough fluids from their prey animals from before they were domesticated. Maybe your cat likes to drink from dirty puddles outdoors? Or does your indoor cat come running to drink when you turn on the water tap in the kitchen? One thing is for sure - many cats are picky about their water. To encourage your cat to stay hydrated, you can invest in a cat water fountain.
Always running water with a cat water fountain
To encourage your cat to stay hydrated, you can offer running water with a cat water fountain. Sometimes your cat needs to drink more, for example due to kidney disease or to prevent recurring urinary tract infections. Even if your cat gets fluids from wet food , they should always have access to clean water. Try different water flows and see which one your cat likes best. A gentle stream, a steady stream or maybe bubbles? Water fountains are easy to set up and clean. Choose one that runs continuously, or is activated when your cat is nearby. At A-Vet you can also buy water filters for the drinking fountains, which clean and remove any chlorine odor.
Water fountains for the picky cat
Do you have a cat who is picky about their water at home? Then running water fountains could be the solution. There are many theories as to why your cat prefers running water. For example, it could be instinctive. In nature, there is less chance of illness in running water than in stagnant water sources. Other theories are that they prefer cooler water than that which has been left out at room temperature during the day. For the picky cat, we have water fountains in many different styles. Choose one with cute details such as flowers and summer birds. If you have multiple cats, there are also water fountains with multiple waterfalls and water jets.
