Why do cats like to drink water from the toilet and how to avoid cats drinking "dirty" water?

I don't know if you have noticed that your cat doesn't like drinking water very much, and once in a while, she also likes to drink "dirty water", such as licking the bath water on the floor in the bathroom or sipping your foot washing water. Or reach into the toilet to drink toilet water. Some people say that it wants to taste it because it likes the smell of its owner.

The doctor says that it thinks that all the water except the water it has drunk is clean water.

In fact, this is also related to the cat's own habits and instincts!

The reason why cats like to drink toilet water is because cats play outside. If they are thirsty, they will show their own instinct to find water to quench their thirst. At this time, cats don't care whether it is clean water or dirty water!

And tap water contains some clean ingredients, such as chlorine, which we can't smell, but cats hate this smell very much, so cats just think that dirty water is better than tap water!

How to improve the cat's habit of drinking toilet water. 1. If the cat usually has the habit of eating meat, the owner can put more water when cooking meat for the cat, and then give it soup and meat together after cooking, so that the cat can replenish water unconsciously.

2. In addition to cat food, cats can be given some canned cats regularly in their daily diet, because the water content of canned cats is very high, and cats can also replenish water in the process of eating canned cats. But remember not to give too many cans, or cats may develop a bad habit of picky eaters, and eating too many cans is not good for cats' teeth.

3. Because tap water in urban families needs to be bleached, many cats don't like the taste, and cats who don't like drinking water may even dislike it. Therefore, the owner can usually give cats cold boiled water or pure water.

4. If conditions permit, the owner can buy a fountain water dispenser for the cat. Because the flowing water can fully attract the attention of cats, and the fountain water dispenser can make the water move well, which can attract cats and make them drink more water.
