LOL! - I thought it was some kind of stick one would use to coerce cats into going where you want them to go........I'm glad that its just an arm....That's what I use, too. (and my hand has the scratches to prove it.) |

I haven't seen my cat drink any water. I do feed her 100% canned and she spends several hrs outdoors, so could be drinking when I am not there to notice it. Is this something to worry about or should I just leave water around and let her nature take its course? Should I try to insist that she drink some water before serving food (about the only leverage I have)? YOu can lead a cat to water, but you cant make her drink, said the wise old sage of yesteryear. Beebe seems to have an interest in drinking out of the toilet bowl on the second floor so I put a dish of water next to the toilet and Ive seen him drinking out of it. Actually when I notice that he's gone into that bathroom I usually go in and change the water in the dish and he drinks out of it. |

It causes the water to flow through the dish. Cats love running water. Ours will drink only from it; they will not drink standing water. And take the cat to the vet to get its blood tested. Vet will know what to test for. |
