Cat Not Drinking Enough? 6 Tips to Boost Hydration!

Cats naturally have a low thirst drive, which can lead to urinary tract issues. Here are practical solutions:

6 Hydration Hacks

  1. Multiple Water Stations - Place bowls in different rooms (away from food and litter boxes)

  2. Choose the Right Bowl - Use wide, ceramic, or glass bowls (avoid plastic odours)

  3. Running Water Appeal - Try a pet water fountain (clean the filter regularly!)

  4. Environmental Traps - Place "surprise water bowls" in spots your cat frequents (e.g., hallways/windowsills)

  5. Taste Trick - Add low-sodium chicken/fish broth to water

  6. Wet Food Boost - Consult your vet about adding wet food to their diet

⭐ Cats should drink at least 50ml/kg of water per day. Increasing water intake can reduce bladder and kidney diseases!

Daily Must-Dos

  • Wash and refill water bowls daily.

  • Observe your cat’s preferred drinking spots.
