Many owners of cats face such problem: their pet almost does not drink water at all. And it can lead to development of diseases of kidneys and a bladder. How to persuade a cat to drink waters?
Instruction
1. In general, the cat – the former desert animal, the main part of a day amount of water it receives from food. If you feed her with a natural forage, problems with water do not arise at all, the cat can not drink at all. However if you give only a dry professional feed, surely put near a bowl capacity for water. Water needs to be changed daily, old the small animal will not begin to drink for anything.
2. Add fermented milk products or milk to a diet. It is also possible to give the broth cooked without salt and spices, various soups and liquid porridges. The cat will receive enough moisture.
3. If the cat refuses to eat natural products, diversify a diet with damp tinned sterns of the same firm whose dry feed you use constantly. It will reduce the need for water.
4. Add a little canned food to water. Having felt a familiar pleasant smell, the cat can begin to drink up.
5. If there are no problems with an urinogenital system yet, it is possible to give to an animal something salty, for example, a piece of smoked fish. Soon the cat will feel strong thirst and itself will begin to look for water and to drink up greedy.
6. Long ago it is noticed that these pets like to drink water not from the bowl which is specially put for them, and from any other accidental capacity. Leave on a floor, for example, an open bucket with water, a cup in a sink, a half-liter can on the shelf. Soon you will notice that the small animal will surely get even into a hard-to-reach spot to drink even if it will have the flat dish with water.
7. If at a cat problems with an urinary system already began and the doctor registered the increased liquid consumption, give to drink to a cat by means of the syringe. Take the syringe with a capacity of 5-7 cubic centimeters, remove from it a needle, fill with water and slowly pour in water in a mouth of an animal. The cat will resist, pretend that she chokes, but such inhumane actions you keep her health and, perhaps, life.
