Having several water dishes around your home means that your pet cat will not have to travel far to drink from one.
For instance, a water dish on every level of your home means that your pet cat will not have to go down or up a level to locate a water source.
For multi-cat homes, enough water should be made available for every ‘social’ cat group. Aim for at least a water dish for every social group at home.
Water bowl locations
Be sure to select a good spot for the water dishes. Cats prefer that their drinking spot be some distance away from their food source, so situate the drinking bowls a distance from their food.
Avoid purchasing double bowls. Double bowls are those that have side-by- side food and water bowls. Cats tend to drink more water if it is offered in a location separate from their food.
Situate the drinking bowls in quiet spots far from heavily used doors or particularly busy areas.
A sudden change in your pet’s drinking and/or urinating habits should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Coral Springs, FL.
