Water is the Breath of Life, especially with our feline friend. Most of us do know that cats need fresh drinking water every day for optimum health. Water is essential for helping the kidneys flush out toxics from the blood. Water also helps keep other organ tissues hydrated and healthy. Dehydration in cats is dangerous, and if not treated, can lead to death. Cats in kidney failure – either acute or chronic, often require extra fluids given either intravenously or by subcutaneous drip. The latter therapy is often carried out at home and is relatively easy to learn and perform. With most cats, the improvement after these treatments is significant and visable.

In nature, moving water is much fresher than stagnant water. The movement constantly breaks the surface tension of the water and draws oxygen from the air into the water. This process is called aeration and it makes water more appealing to drink. Cats may be drawn by instinct to moving water for this reason. The drinkwell cat fountain filters and aerates continuously moving water to keep it much fresher than standing bowl water.

This cat drinking fountain turned out to be a big event of drinking water while also taking a plunge into a bath situation.  This is one of the most funniest videos I have seen in a long time.  Usually cats don’t like to get wet, but this cat is going for the gusto.  Very, very funny!

Last year I started to worry about her running out of food and water during one of my extended trips. The though just wouldn’t leave my mind, so I immediately went online and found a Drinkwell cat fountain that constantly recycles fresh water. I solved the food issue by leaving a heaping bowl for Ida to eat at her own pace while I’m gone. Maybe one day I’ll find work that allows me to stay closer to home, but until then this will have to do.

It’s especially important to keep your cats hydrated in the summertime. If you have outdoor cats or no air conditioning in your home, cats feel just as uncomfortable and thirsty as we do when it gets really hot outside. One of the keys to staying cool and healthy in hot weather is staying hydrated, so make sure your cats have access to plenty of water. But water in a conventional cat bowl can get scummy, hairy and all-around gross. Who wants to drink that? It may actually discourage your cats from hydrating when they need it most.

You can solve this hydration problem by getting a cat drinking fountain for your cats. A cat drinking fountain produces a free-falling stream of water that constantly refreshes itself through a pump system. More than one gallon of water cycles through a charcoal filter, which removes debris, bad tastes and odors, before it becomes available for your cat to drink. The circulation system cools water naturally, and the whole fountain is easy to disassemble for cleaning. You can even add an additional capacity reservoir to increase the amount of water that flows through the drinking fountain, which is ideal for multiple cats.

Popular pet water fountains come in a variety of sizes and shapes for the different needs of individual pet households. Water from a reservoir passes through a charcoal filter to remove impurities and provide cats with a constant supply of fresh-tasting water. The drinkwell pet fountian filters and aerates continuously moving water to keep it much fresher than standing bowl water. It satisfies the urge for running water and so helps eliminate jumping on counters in search of dripping faucets. A soft and supple coat, bright eyes and sweet-smelling breath are the signs of a cat with sufficient fluids in its system by using a cat drinking fountain. It’s a cat that will live a long and healthy life, free of urinary tract or kidney diseases.

Cats just love moving water because of their natural curiosity about nature around them.  Water coming from faucets   and fountains movement constantly breaks the surface tension of the water and draws oxygen from the air into the water. This process is called aeration and it makes water more appealing to drink. Cats may be drawn by instinct to moving water for this reason. You can either let your cats drink be leaving the faucets  on in the sink or bathtub, or a more practical approach by having their own personalized cat drinking fountain.
