When many poop shovelers were still drinking tap water for the cat to boil, some poop shovelers had prepared many strange water sources such as a certain cloud mineral water, a certain negative oxygen ion water, etc.

However, when cats drink water, the cat owner should pay attention, that is, the cleaner the water the cat drinks, the better. On the contrary, some cats may have some diseases because the water is too clean!

1. Cats should not drink too clean distilled water for a long time. The distilled water in the water mentioned in

is almost pure water, so it does not contain toxic and harmful substances, and the water does not contain the required trace elements. In other words, cats will definitely not have poisoning or intake of harmful substances when drinking distilled water, but distilled water is not suitable for long-term intake of drinking water.

Distilled water is heated and boiled for a long time, and many trace elements necessary for the human body will be discarded. If drinking distilled water for a large amount of long-term consumption will cause symptoms such as chest tightness, nausea, diarrhea, physical decline, and anxiety. This is not good for the health of pets, so drinking distilled water occasionally will not have much impact. It is long-term intake, so it is not good!

2. Cats cannot drink functional beverages or carbonated beverages.

Some cat shovelers think after drinking water for cats, since cats don’t like to drink water, why don’t I give it something better?

After all, cats also have a sense of taste, and it is understandable that they don’t like to drink bland and tasteless water. Therefore, some functional drinks or carbonated drinks were accidentally fed to the cat by some shovelers!

However, functional beverages often adjust the nutrient components and content ratios according to human needs, and electrolytes such as potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and aluminum will be added. The ingredients will be similar to human body fluids and can be absorbed by the human body more quickly after drinking. However, for cats, the ingredients in functional beverages are excessive, and long-term intake will affect the health of the cat!

The main ingredients of carbonated beverages are: syrup and carbonic acid. Cats consume excessive amounts of fat water will cause fat, and carbonic acid will have a potential impact on the cat's bones, so they cannot be consumed.

3. Cats should not consume tea beverages or traditional Chinese medicine beverages.

If other beverages can be consumed in small quantities, then beverages like tea and Chinese medicine beverages are absolutely not allowed. Just like a can of herbal tea and a certain green tea beverage, this naturally also includes natural tea, because theophylline in tea contains methylxanthine, which will cause cat poisoning!

Once excessive intake occurs, you will lose appetite, drool, vomiting, diarrhea, frequent urination, central nervous system excitement, tremor, unstable pace, cramps, and severe illness will fall into a coma.

Severe may cause a faster heartbeat, faster breathing, uneven heart rate, resulting in death from heart failure!

For example, many ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine beverages are also incapable of intake by cats, so in order to avoid danger, it is best not to give cats Chinese medicine beverages!

So if cats drink less water, what other methods can they use to replenish more water?

Cat soup: The shoveler can use clean water to add carrots, fish, beef and other ingredients to stew a pot of soup for the cat, because these ingredients are often in-depth by cats, so they have no impact on the cat's health.

And these ingredients are also the main ingredients in many cats wet cans, which can help cats consume more water.

Dairy products: Most kittens may develop lactose intolerance, but adult cats can absorb milk. Of course, for safety reasons, it is best to use goat milk for cats.

However, the mild taste is only one of the reasons why cats don't like to drink water. The reason why cats consume less water is more because cats have high requirements for water sources.

On the one hand, cats like live water, and on the other hand, cats tend to prefer the water that the shovelers drink or the water source with fish or plants in it, because this can ensure safety.

So if you are simply a cat shoveler who wants your cat to drink more water, then you might as well start from these points to change the cat!

1. You can place drinking water basins in multiple places at home, or even place the drinking water basins in unusual or novel places, because cats seem to be more interested in water outside the fixed drinking water basins.

2. Different drinking water basins can be used, such as: shallow basins, deep basins, water cups, large bowls, etc.

3. There are automatic drinking water makers for pets on the market that can keep drinking water flowing for 24 hours. It is a good choice for cats to drink more water.

4. You can add a little gravy or a small amount of honey to the drinking water. In addition, it is best to have a cool and white or pure water. Don't drink tap water directly.

5. Add some warm water or snacks to the cat's food to make it drink more water!

6. Keep the frequency of water changes. Cats who have been in too long will not drink it.

7. Place more devices for cats to drink water in areas where cats often move around at home, so that cats can drink more water.

8. Prepare some warm water for the cat that is close to the body temperature, so that this water is easier for the cat to drink.

9. If a cat doesn't drink water for a day, then when all the methods are used, the last solution is to force it to suck it, which is better than thirst!

However, in normal times, don’t give the cat to drink tap water or dirty water directly. Even if it is tap water, please boil it first and then let it cool before giving it to the cat to drink, which will be better.

After all, cat owners are actually worried that their cats don’t like to drink water, but there is no way, because cats are born unruly and don’t like to drink water. They are so worried about the cat shoveler!
