Frequently Asked Questions
How much water should a cat drink per day?
A cat should drink approximately 3.5-4.5 ounces of water per 5 pounds of body weight per day. This comes from all sources including food moisture. Cats on dry food diets need to drink more water directly.
How do I know if my cat is dehydrated?
Signs of dehydration in cats include dry gums, loss of skin elasticity (skin tent test), sunken eyes, lethargy, and decreased appetite. If you suspect dehydration, consult your veterinarian immediately.
How can I encourage my cat to drink more water?
Try using a cat water fountain (cats prefer running water), placing multiple water bowls around the house, using wide shallow bowls to avoid whisker fatigue, keeping water fresh and clean, and adding wet food to their diet.
