Is your cat drinking enough water? Many cats don’t get adequate hydration from traditional bowls. Here are the warning signs that indicate your cat might benefit from a water fountain…
Sign #1: Drinking from Faucets or Toilets
If your cat prefers running water from taps, they’re telling you they want fresh, moving water. This is the #1 sign they’d benefit from a fountain.
Sign #2: Urinary Issues
Frequent UTIs, crystals, or constipation often indicate dehydration. A fountain can encourage more water intake.
Sign #3: Kidney Disease Risk Factors
Senior cats (7+) and certain breeds (Persians, Maine Coons) are prone to kidney issues. Prevention through hydration is key.
Sign #4: Dry Food Diet
Cats eating primarily dry kibble need extra water. Wet food provides moisture, but dry food requires supplemental hydration.
Sign #5: Multiple Cats, One Bowl
In multi-cat households, dominant cats may prevent others from drinking. Multiple water sources help ensure everyone stays hydrated.
