If your kitten is refusing water for extended periods,
an immediate visit to the veterinarian is recommended. A
regular water intake is essential to the health and
survival of kittens as well as cats.
Chances are your pet is taking in a sufficient quantity
of water when he plays with it. The kitten is probably
telling you that he’s bored with the standard water
bowl. Cats like moving water; in nature, a rippling
brook or stream is a sign of clean fresh water, free of
the parasites and other dangers that may be found in
still pond water. Many kittens are drawn to toilet or
sink water, because the ripples appeal to a deeply
ingrained survival instinct.
Your can appeal to this instinct by using an automatic
watering system that constantly circulates and filters
water. Not only will the kitten be drawn to the movement
of this water, but also the filtration system will
ensure that what he’s drinking is fresh and clean.
