Re: Cats and drinking


Ive been pondering this all week, not sure whether Violet and Mau Mau drink from their water bowls, and this hot weather, not sure where they would find a drink x

Re: Cats and drinking


Have you tried using a rabbit water bottle. If you smear the metal tube with something like the juice from tuna they soon get the hang of it. Ideal for cats who prefer to drink out of dripping taps. Just an idea.

Re: Cats and drinking


All mine drink from bowls, but I use wide dog bowls as I've heard they prefer this. However, Misty loves a dripping tap - and the bird bath too! He would love that Cat spa! I've often thought I would like to buy one but been put off by the price. That's a good offer from petplanet.

Yes they make quite a mess don't they. Handy when your stripping wallpaper though.

Handy for the stripping, but not when you get to the bit where you're dangling a plumb-line to get the next lot up straight... Anything on a bit of string is a cat-toy to be instantly played with.
