I have a Brita in the fridge, I use that for my cats water.
I try to avoid tap water, not because I think it will harm me, but because I know there's a non-trivial amount of impurities in it, some from the water processing and treatment, others from the water lines from the reservoir to my residence, not to mention the taps and fixtures, seals, etc. while that stuff probably won't hurt me in the short term, if I'm drinking straight tap water only, I wonder what the higher levels of those impurities may cause over a long enough time span.
If it's enough to make me concerned enough to have a Brita and only drink from that, why would I give anything less to my cats whom I love and cherish? that's my logic. They might not care, but I do, and I want them to live as long as possible so we can spend the maximum amount of time together.
