A trick to cheat water.

1. Ensure that the water source is clean and the water quality is qualified. Don't worry too much about boiled water, purified water or mineral water. It is important to clean the water bowl regularly, and remember to change the fresh water.

2, adjust the water temperature cats have different drinking water needs in different seasons, and you can add some ice cubes to the water in summer. Mix some warm water in winter to increase the pleasure of cats drinking water.

3. Be careful not to put the water bowl near the cat toilet, which will make the clean cat owner feel that the water is unclean and resist drinking water. Don't put it next to the cat's food basin, it will make the cat develop the bad habit of drinking water only when eating, which will make it more difficult to cheat the water. There are more drinking points and bowls in the areas or passages where cats live and play.

Step 4 let the water flow

Cats like running water, automatic drinking fountains create the effect of running water, and some have filtration systems, so the water quality is relatively clean. DIY: A deeper water bowl and a pumping circulating pump.

5, dry food soaked in water

If your cat doesn't like wet food, you can also try adding water to dry food, but when adding it, you should start from a small amount to avoid diluting the original flavor of food with too much water. Add a spoonful or two at first, and if the cat doesn't resist, increase the amount of water bit by bit.

Step 6 add catnip occasionally

Most cats like catnip very much, and occasionally adding catnip to water can also increase the frequency of cats drinking water.

7. Drink goat milk powder

If cats really resist drinking water, we can try feeding them goat milk powder, which is a bit like the drink we drink. It tastes better than cold boiled water, and most cats like it very much.

8. Eat soup

Boiled or steamed, the thicker the better, the smell of meat will make cats can't help but gather together, but remember not to add seasoning.
